The vibration on your iPhone 11 no longer works properly?
In this photo tutorial, we'll explain step by step how you can easily replace the Taptic Engine yourself.
The Taptic Engine generates the mechanical feedback in iPhone 11. An electromagnetic linear actuator moves a heavy metal shaft back and forth, creating vibration. In contrast to classic vibration motors of other manufacturers or older iPhones, the Taptic Engine has the advantage of generating very precise and short feedback.
The many moving parts of the Taptic Engine also make it more easily to be damaged.
