Watch the video in reverse

He means how to retain the water resistance, now that the seal is breached.

@@creamychoclatelobsterwarri979 haha....good one

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Yeah, I remember shitty products. They still exist, ask for ‘Android’. It would need to be about 5 years old though, because every slimeball Android manufacturer has copied Apple on this, but only after years of touting their craptastic ‘removeable battery’ models. They must. Copy. Apple. They have no choice.... it’s what they do.

...because your are stupid AND incompetent?

This is actually pretty easy

Thank god for iFixit. Apple is not making it easy so iFixit steppes up.

Oliver Hearn lol

'Cause you like technology, even crappy one, me too anyway.

Because she's healthy!

Oliver Hearn sooooooo 🍳 poor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't have an i phone . you poor guy . i have an iphone X

Basically just do everything they did in reverse except purchase an adhesive to put under the screen as the adhesive was most likely damaged

lol

If the battery shows 50% then it's normal. 50% is the most balanced state the battery could be in and that's where most manufacturer ship their phone with. But if your battery health is 50% then something must be wrong.

i found a 3500 mAh... ebay

Don't trust that shit, get the same battery.

Ifixit batteries are just as good as Apple’s

Don't do that you will broke your iPhone, it's too beautiful to be real !!

That is the battery failing and you should get that taken care of quickly, lest your phone catch fire!

You clearly have never worked on a Mercedes engine! ;)

Led'S Solutions You can find replacement seals on Amazon. 😊

What a waste of a perfectly early comment.

Lauti rial You shouldn’t have an issue with those things not working if you were very careful with disassembly/reassembly. I have had no issues with these components not working.

Albert de Salvo Propably not, since the fix kit costs under 30$

Myles Gelóneck more than likely

Yes it does. However, you can purchase a new adhesive seal that goes around the screen when you put it back together. It will take a little longer to complete the repair because you will want to make sure you remove all of the old adhesive so the new one will make a good seal.

Not if you can reapply the seal. Some kits include it, but it’s not easy.

did u ever replace an integrated huawei battery? you basically have to disassemble the whole phone

John Burkoton injured gadgets is a good website for batteries

Ifixit batteries are quality batteries. They also offer all the other components necessary to perform a quality job, including waterproof adhesive and tools.

Yes...or maybe "kind of." A battery mounted from the outside of the phone won't be as tightly contained and therefor efficient for when it comes to passing kinetic energy (knocks) through the battery. Over time, that will stress the electric and physical connection between the battery and the phone-body. And at some point there will occur that fraction of a mm gap possibility that will grow worse over time causing the phone to need to be turned back on and all your unsaved data entry lost. For a luxury product brand like the iPhone that really should be unacceptable. (I can't believe I'm saying that because I generally think of Apple as a horrible company that hither to today I thought they had started soldering batteries to boards so as to force a total new phone replacement when the battery dies)

xxnike629xx Are you trolling? Of course they could! But then you wouldn't pay in $100 increments to double your storage and upgrade your phone in a year and a half when the battery dies! It's a fucking shameless business model.

If you cracked the screen you probably forgot to remove the screws at the bottom... if not you were too aggressive, its really hard to break the screen doing a repair like this.

Ino Sia Amazon, eBay usually in the mall

Definitely worth mentioning.

After 2 years when this battery replacement will be needed, I dont think many people will worry about loosing water resistance.

Petter Angeltveit exactly, people only need a water-resistant phone for 2 years. Everyone knows that.

When the choice is between a working phone or a waterproof brick, though, most will pick the phone.

Its water resistent, and sure i would take a working phone rather that a non working one but water resistent one.

Because KZfaq videos stay on the internet for many years, so in 2020, when you're reading this reply to your comment you made three years ago, this video is now more relevant than ever for the owners of old iPhone 7's such as myself.

I still use the original Note (a great phone) as a backup phone and it works great. I have a couple of spare batteries as it's very easy to replace them. I also bought an extended battery which made it a bit bigger but it goes for days on this large capacity battery.

have you tried the Ifixit battery? if yes is it good? I'm really thinking about buying one but still not sure how good it is

Did you ever get this sorted?

When I see how the touch screen is being removed, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Somehow I don't want to mess with sensitive items like this. I mean Apple could have designed the phone in a different way, to avoid removing the touch screen. Remember old mobile phones (2000 to 2008), there it was still so easy to replace the batteries without using any tools.

Fact, they sell you device you are not able to switch off

If you look closely, a lot of what is removed in this video does not actually need to be removed. The same can be said for the iPhone 6 battery. Literally all that "needs" to be removed is the bracket holding the battery in place, which in this case are the 4 screws, (2 with IPhone 6 models and a different style battery ribbon bracket). With that being said you must be very very careful when removing the adhesive and battery as it's quite strong. Replacing the batteries on these phones is not hard, and honestly taking your time and being careful are the two best things you can do.

Streety They run a website/KZfaq channel that does tutorials for every device... It makes sense to stay ahead of the game and do the video right when a new device comes out.

This comment didn't age very well. I've had 2 iphone 7 batteries crap out

wrathfang I agree with you, I was able to skip the part of removing the Taptic Engine completely!
