Remember those days where you can remove the battery by opening the back panel?

[dohran]

Having to remove this much parts before accessing the battery is crazy. We need laws that bring back removable batteries in phones.

OK, My brain and eyes have learned, but my hands have not learned.

Big support for the channel and keep on making awesome content and guides and giveaways in the future as well. Worked for me

I’ve put batteries in I phone 5 and 6 and they were quite straightforward, but this looks like it would try the patience of a Saint.
Still going to give it a go when the time comes 👍

Re-installing the display adhesive was what I was waiting to see, because I feel like it's important to get it right, and you guys don't show it? Why?

[Interlocutor_]

What a great tutorial. I’ve repaired older iPhones before but this one was a little different. Definitely helped me perform a successful repair. Thank you!🙏

Its insane how tightly integrated and engineered phones are nowadays to fit as much technology in the smallest of spaces. Its fascinating to look at, but I can also understand how it could be a headache when it comes to battery replacements/repairs.

I skipped taking out the haptic engine, speaker etc. just took off the plates for the connectors, total of 6 screws not counting the bottom two on the outside

How to glue the screen back or which adhesive and how to do it ?

[ShooterGaming]

thanks for the tutorial just broke the charging port, sim card recognising and the display is full of lines 🥰

[mhpreach]

How much editing do you do on screen removal? Also when you put the screws back in how do you get them to stay on the tip of the driver? I would get them going to hole the magnetic screwdriver would change alignment. Any suggestions there?

[RicardoC]

do you always lose water proof after opening the phone? can’t have it back?

[lochweis]

I had great trouble when installing one of the standoff screwer back for the taptic engine. I spent like 30 minutes on that single screwer alone. So my advice is if you have isopropyl alcohol to resolve the glue, do NOT uninstall the taptic engine.

[stephenlozada]

I like the pick w the lip so u don’t stick it in too deep.

[matn__]

I placed the battery slightly lower than the connector and didn't realize in time, I then followed the rest of the instructions in the video and screwed everything else in place and by the time I had realized my mistake it was too late. Not to worry tho, I ended up straightening the end of the connector and bending it to fit the socket about 16 times, it eventually clicked and I was able to screw on the little plate on and close the phone. I did in fact cry tears of joy when I saw the apple logo appear, Thanks iFixit

Where do we install the new adhesive to ensure water resistance is still operational?

[davidsin]

Hello, my iPhone 12 is not detecting my SIM card after the battery replacement. Any suggestions? Everything is assembled and working except the phone is not recognizing any sim.

[fudge]

I miss having a removable cover though I understand for water resistance It makes sense.

[wesleyshirley]

I just removed the screen and heated the back glass up and slowly pryed the battery out. No problem. Took 15mins
