Own a 4 had to replace the screen, and it was refreshingly easy with the modular system. My only issue is parts availability at times.

I've replaced a few screens that were glued in place (Samsung being one), just had to warm them with a hair dryer and used a playing card to cut through the adhesive. Easy-peasy.
