00:00If you've ever cracked open an iPhone only to realize the tiny part you actually needed is
00:04the one you can't find anywhere, yeah, I've been there too. Flex cables and those ridiculous
00:09little pentalobe screws are the stuff that quietly ruins repairs. So I went digging,
00:14ordered a bunch, and today I'm walking you through the top 5 iPhone replacement flex
00:18cables and screws I found all cheap, all genuinely worth having on your bench.
00:23Kicking things off is the Ionant Proximity Sensor and Earpiece Speaker Flex Cable,
00:27and this one covers a huge range iPhone 12, 11 Pro, X, XR, XS Max, you name it.
00:34What I like most is that it comes with the sticker and mesh already attached,
00:38so you're not sitting there with tweezers trying to reposition a mic grill for 20 minutes.
00:42It's $3.47, which is basically nothing, and over 4,600 of these have sold with a perfect 5-star
00:50rating. If you do earpiece repairs at all, just grab a couple and keep them in the drawer.
00:56Next up, if you're working on the iPhone 12 mini, 12, or 12 Pro Max and Face ID is part
01:01of the
01:01equation, this OEM pulled earpiece speaker flex is the safer bet. Pulled OEM means it came out of a
01:07real device, so the sensor tolerances actually match what the phone expects, and that matters a lot when
01:12Face ID is involved. It's $10.54, so yes, it's pricier than the aftermarket option, but you're paying
01:20for the parts that don't throw errors. 4,600 sold, 4.5 stars. Worth it when the repair has to
01:27work the
01:28first time. Now let's talk screws, because this 2UU LSC 13 kit is honestly the most satisfying
01:34thing on this list. 360 screws covering iPhone X all the way to 17 Pro Max, and they come in
01:41green,
01:42blue, purple, gold, white, black, titanium, and orange, so you can actually color match the bottom
01:47screws to the phone instead of slapping a black screw on a gold iPhone. $10.60 for the whole
01:53organized case. If you repair phones regularly, this pays for itself the very first time a customer
01:59notices you match the finish. If you want something simpler and cheaper, this 50-piece
02:04pentalobe bottom screw pack is the no-nonsense option. It's specifically for the iPhone 11,
02:1011 Pro, and 11 Pro Max, and you get black and silver, which covers most of what you'll run
02:15into. $3.05. That's $0.06 a screw. And look, we've all dropped a pentalobe screw into a carpet
02:24and watched it vanish forever, so having 50 spares means that moment stops being a crisis.
02:304.9 stars from over 4,500 buyers says plenty. And last one, but maybe the best value here,
02:37this proximity light sensor flex cable for iPhone 13, 14, and 15, including the Mini, Pro, Max,
02:43and Plus models. Just note it does not include the earpiece speaker, so you're transferring your
02:49original over, which is fine if yours still works. $2.48. That's the cheapest part on this entire list,
02:57and it's sitting at 4.9 stars. For newer devices where parts usually cost a fortune,
03:03that price is honestly kind of shocking. All the links are down in the description if you want
03:08to check any of these out, I've sorted them in order so they're easy to find. If this helped you

03:18Thanks for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one.
