To disassemble the iPhone XS you need the following tools:

Using a hairdryer, heat the surface of the display for a one minute.
This will make it easier to separate the display from the iPhone case.

Remove that screw between the Taptic Engine and the speaker.
Remove the metal bracket and disconnect the cable.
Now carefully peel off the cable from the speaker.

Disconnect the cable and now you can remove the Taptic Engine from the iPhone case.

Under one of screw there is the metal part, so do not lose it when disassembling the iPhone
XS.
Using a slotted screwdriver unscrew one screw and remove metal panel.
Under the metal panel, there are 2 cables.
It is difficult to get close to these two cables and it is impossible to turn them off
with a plastic tool; therefore, using to metal tools, very carefully, disconnect these two
cables.
Now, pry up the motherboard and gently remove it from the iPhone XS case.
The remaining cables you can remove and install on new iphone cover, as well as buttons.
However, it all depends on which cover you want to replace.

be already installed.

cover.
