Inspection Findings

After opening the iPhone 13, extensive damage was confirmed across both the front display assembly and rear housing structure. The rear glass impact had exposed internal shielding layers near the wireless charging and MagSafe assembly area. Multiple crack propagation points were observed throughout the device exterior.

Internal connectors, camera mounting areas, charging components, and frame integrity were inspected carefully for secondary damage caused by the impact. The device remained structurally repairable, allowing restoration work to proceed.

Inspection Summary

  • Front display heavily damaged
  • Rear housing glass shattered
  • MagSafe charging area inspected
  • Internal connectors checked
  • Frame structure assessed internally
  • Device approved for restoration process

Service Procedure

The damaged display assembly and shattered rear glass components were carefully removed using controlled disassembly procedures to prevent additional stress on internal components. Residual adhesive, fragmented glass material, and damaged sealing areas were cleaned from the housing before restoration work began.

Replacement components were then installed, followed by internal alignment verification, connector inspection, adhesive application, and housing reassembly. The device was prepared for full functionality testing after restoration.

Procedure Summary

  • Damaged display removed safely
  • Rear glass restoration completed
  • Internal cleaning performed
  • Replacement components installed
