So the reason you would want to do thisis at a certain point eventually, the battery life just doesn't last as long as it used to or straight up just conks out. Now, even though Apple says that their iPhone has a non-removable battery, it's not technically true. It is removable, it's just a pain in the ass.

So in this video I'm going to show you step by step how you can remove the battery and then also replace it with a brand new one. Okay, so first up you need to get a new replacement battery. I was sick of crappy batteries that I kept finding on Amazon and would only last for a little bit and didn't have all the tools that I needed and all this other crap, so I actually decided to make my own.

I had to manufacture this top spec that you can, and made sure it passed all the battery regulations with flying colors, which is something that a majority of the Amazon ones can't really say. I also made sure to include every single thing I thought you would need to install the battery from start to finish. With that said, you can buy it directly from me here in my shop, or you can, of course, head to Amazon and find one of your own.

Either way, the tutorial is going to be the same. Just make sure if you don't buy the battery that I have that you make sure the one that you do buy has all the tools that you need and has some type of guarantee that it's gonna last longer than, I don't know, a week.

Okay now, first, make sure that you turn off your iPhone. Then, using the provided Pentalobe screwdrivers if you bought the battery from me, remove the two screws at the bottom of the phone and set them aside. I usually take a white piece of paper and set everything down on it in different sections so that I know exactly where everything goes back.

It's good to do this also because some of the screws are not actually the same sizes even if they both come from the same place. So, just a tip. After that, using the provided suction cup, suck up the bottom upmost part of the iPhone screen without overlapping the home button. If you do overlap the home button it creates a little pocket of air and then it loses suction every time you try to pull up.

So that's why you want to kind of get it as close to the bottom of the phone with out actually covering that home button. Using the plastic pry tool also from the kit, pry under the end of the screen while pulling upon the suction cup until you get a gap and can wedge the screen off. Work your way around the screen until it is completely up, but make sure not to bend it back too far or you would damage the cables that connect the screen to the motherboard.

Next, we need to remove the original battery. So, with holding the screen up if you left it on, unscrew the two screws holding down the metal plate over where the battery connects to the motherboard and set them aside along with the metal plate. Again, keep track of every screw. Those two are actually different sizes so make sure you know which one goes into which hole when you set them down.

Next we can pop off the Lego-like connector of the battery. And here comes the hard part. So you need to pry the battery up very carefully so as not to bend it or rip it. If you do, it'll short possibly, it'll just break, it won't work, so just don't do it. It's not a good idea. There is some glue under it and you need to separate that from the battery.

You can either heat the back of the device with a blow dryer to kind of warm up the glue and make it a little more pliable, or you can just kind of go at it and very carefully and slowly pry it off. I found the latter method to be much safer and easier.

I hope that helped some of you out who needed to replace their battery. If you liked this video, please thumbs-up it or share it, it is greatly appreciated.

But also share with someone who might need to do it.

Or keep it in your back pocket for when you might need to replace yours. As always, thanks for watching.
