Hi sky_shrimp and welcome on-board.
As others have said, starting out in electronics by trying to repair leading-edge smart phones is pretty ambitious, so please don't be put off if you don't end up with a working phone at the end of it. That said, I'm impressed by your positive attitude and the eloquence of your posting, as well as by your work.
I've been doing electronics in some form for most of my life, and untill about 5 years ago I regarded surface mount as some kind of back art. Even now I'd not touch an iphone through choice, so if that really is your first attempt with a soldering iron then it's not at all bad!
