I just finished my battery replacement. I heated the back of the phone with a hair dryer, I needed a sharper metal prying tool to start the separation process then used the plastic tool. I did not remove the screen, I was careful not to put pressure on the ribbons and left the suction cup on to hold up the screen so it did not try to separate from the body very much. I did not remove the taptic machine as in other videos. That saved a lot of time. Trust Me the fewer screws you remove the better!! They are the size of a grain of sand and require a very steady hand to reinstall!!! Extremely easy to lose drop or misplace! My inner tape strip broke off at the start point so I pried up the battery at that end (from the outside) to regain the grip and pulled it right out. The new battery works great.

A number of these steps are not necessary if you're careful. You don't need to separate the screen from the base, just prop it up like an open book with something supporting it on the back so the screen doesn't lay flat (to protect the ribbon cables) and take your time pulling the adhesive out. I've done this repair twice now; the second time I didn't even remove the taptic motor; I just took the screws out and left the ribbon cable connected while carefully moving it out of the way as I pulled the adhesive out. Easy.

Remember when batteries were easy to replace?

[JabberCT]

Ridiculous. They design it like that on purpose so when you're battery degrades, they try to force you into buying a new phone or buy a boatload of new tools and break the phone while trying to replace the battery. They'll never convince me they can make a phone that does almost anything, but they can't make a goddamn battery compartment in the back that you can open up and unsnap the old battery and snap a new on in. The corruption from these big companies is out of control. As consumers, someday we need to have the guts to put our feet down and say ENOUGH!

[oliverhearn]

This is more a how to remove your battery video than replace it? I was interested to see how you seal it all back up again?

[wynsan]

What's adhesive strip for?

How to install it back?

Thanks for this, the other instructions make it seem simple to open up the case with the suction cup! It actually is hellish. The instruction here about the pre-heating and the required patience really helped!

Why do I feel its easier to do a hip replacement??

[adamgh]

2:10 That should be it then right? Why do I need to remove all of the other crap around it?

At 3:15 where is the Apple machining under the battery? Is this just a display iPhone 7 so you don’t break a real one?

I have changed my iPhone battery twice on previous models. But now with the price of the battery plus the tool kit it seems less of hassle to take my iPhone to Apple to replace the battery.

I think it would be less complex to rebuild a Mercedes engine.

After replace the battery it remain waterproof or not

[drahunter]

Before pulling the strips out would it be safer to heat it slightly to prevent rips?

I have an older non-iPhone smartphone. Takes me 15 seconds to replace the battery... It's made like this on purpose, so you can easily change the battery.

Can you replace the battery with a better / higher capacity battery?
