LET ME KNOW IF THOSE LINKS STOP WORKING!!!
While replacing an iPhone battery is not the most easy thing in the world... it is still very possible. With a simple pentalobe screwdriver (linked above) and a little know-how the whole project can be done in about 30 minutes. You want to go slow and make sure not to damage any components.
If your phone is not holding a charge for very long, or if the phone will drop from 50% to 0% battery life without notice, than a new battery will probably fix your issue. Replacing the battery does not erase your personal information if everything is done correctly.
The biggest things to watch out for are the iphone screen ribbon cables. Make sure not the bend or flex them in any unnatural way. They are very fragile. Also, the battery needs to be handled with care. Do not bend, flex, or puncture the battery at all.

Very helpful video. Patient survived the surgery. I struggled: 1) Getting case open. I ordered the recommended tool. Only after I heated the phone with a heat gun did I manage to get it open. 2) removing the old battery. Had to resort to brute force. 3) inserting 6 tiny screws....quite a challenge. Total time: ~ 1h 45m

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. Took me about 1.5 hours because I did it slowly. DO NOT RUSH THIS JOB. Take extra time and do it slowly and methodically. Worked perfectly. If you rush, you will lose the teeny tiny itty bitty screws. Wear powerful reading glasses for magnification.

Very helpful video. Removing the battery adhesive is definitely the hardest part. I had to heat the case and battery a few times and pry quite hard with a plastic knife to get the battery out. It does bend the battery a bit, but no worries if not bending it over double! It is good to test the connection by powering up before screwing things in place. The first tow tries, my screen showed lines, so I knew it wasn't right. Third time was a charm. Thanks!

One of the best repair videos I've ever seen. Was able to extract my old battery fairly easily, though that adhesive is a massive pain. I had to remove the headphone jack to get enough room to remove it, but it eventually came out without too much of a fight.

@stefanoballiero8319 4 ай бұрын

Of course... Thanks to this splendid tutorial I threw a phone that was still in excellent condition in the dustbin.... There is a fundamental piece of information missing which on ifixit is in large letters, the 4 screws on the display are all with different lengths (tenths of a millimetre) ) and if the exact position is not respected the logic board will break. Here he took them off and put them back on without underlining this aspect, you have to note the position or possibly have some luck that I didn't have.

Great explanation! Easy to follow instructions. First, I watched the video twice all the way through then I followed installation of battery but I paused when needed to do the work and continued on as instructions progressed. I would recommended you have someone help hold the phone during this process. I used the tool kit I bought from your site but also had to use another phone tool kit I had from previous phone. It all came together on the first attempt and my phone is on and working great. Thank you!

Thanks for the clear instructions. The only glitch I ran into was I had apparently not fully seated the first of the three screen connectors. However, I was somewhat prepared for this because I turned the phone on before moving on to the other final steps and closing it up. When the apple logo failed to appear I knew something was amiss and then I reattached the screen connectors. Got it seated and thankfully working again.

Thank you so much for posting this. I changed my battery and charge port using 2 of your videos. My glue strips both snapped and in the end I heated up the phone on a hot water bottle and was able to lift the battery up just enough to get the strips with tweezers. Not an easy job. Also just to mention the 6 screws which hold the 2 metal plates are all different lengths from 1.2mm to 1.7mm so take care!! Thanks again.

I got this phone recently, wanted something just for work, something that does not look bulky on my pocket like most smartphones nowadays. Sadly the battery is a joke and ended up buying an external battery, which brought back the bulky problem that I wanted to avoid in the first place. Opted to get a new battery and see how is it, cost me only 15 bucks with tools included and I'm glad this video helped me through the process. Especially the part of showing what happens if the ''sticky stuff'' breaks. Took me no more than 15 min and now time to test it, hopefully, got more battery time this time.

The newer iPhones are much too big for my wee hands. I really love this phone, but it’s become virtually unusable unless plugged in every hour or so to charge. Wish me luck.

@bridlingtonengland75 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks I successfully replaced my iPh5SE battery watching this! I used this video as my primary reference. Took me three hours. Technical for me is changing the oil in my truck. Never opened an Apple product before. Used the $10 eBay kit. 1. One thing, the plastic pry tool I had sucked. I had to use a box cutter...carefully. That took 40 minutes to do it right. 2. Pulling out the adhesive battery strips SUUUUCKED. One broke. I had to go to two other videos where one guy heated the iPhone with a hair dryer. I also placed the phone atop a bag of microwaved rice in a ziplock bag. Then I used fishing line to 'scissor' underneath the warmed battery/case until it came free. That was a pain in the ASS. So like this guy says, don't break those. 3. This video is shot really well. In real life those screws and such are SMALL. Make sure you have a good surface and at least the tools shown. You don't want to be pfaffing around dropping screws like a crackhead. You'll never find them. 4. There's a lot of videos but, this guy did everything right and in the right order. My phone charged right up. Freaked at first because the phone didn't turn on but, the battery was shipped totally de-energized to Alaska.

@josephgrant3247 Жыл бұрын

Three minutes? It took me two hours! But I would have never got it done without the help of this wonderful video - short but complete. There are warnings there - the sticky stuff breaks easily and it's devilishly hard to get a grip on the broken ends - when reassembling, it's very difficult to align the connectors properly before pushing them home - those microscopic screws are a pain to pick up and put in place - on removal, the spring clip covering the finger-print-scanner cable connector can, well, spring, an amazing distance, and be hard to find - and on reassembly it took me an exasperating ten minutes to align it before pushing it home. Take my advice - keep cool and be patient - you'll be amazed when the reassembled phone works perfectly first time (once you have given the new battery a bit of a charge).

This video is good. It's has all the right steps and tools, and the explanation is accurate. That said, the repair process is brutal. For instance, the adhesive he mentions is a complete nightmare; the video doesn't do it justice. I ended up having to remove the battery with brute force, which was rather dangerous. Also, the tiny screws and ribbon cables are uncooperative and cumbersome to attach. Considering that replacing your battery may not solve your problem (for me, it didn't), viewers may want to consider if the juice is worth the squeeze before starting any maintenance.

Video is very precise, would be nice if it showed the replacement tape- the one I bought did not have instructions and I ended up putting it in the wrong side. SUGGESTION. If you have smaller fingers I would suggest cutting the black pull tab so that each strip of tape is separate. you will be less likely to break the tape if you do one at a time.
