This is such a good video. There's no long introduction, unnecessary history of the iphone or battery, or how batteries work, and no explanation as to why this needs to be done. You just get right to the point and show exactly how to do it. THANK YOU!
@@zoomzoomboomboom OH YEAH.. Wtf makes people think, that anything gets better from added noise? IF we want music on top, we can open our prefered stuff on an other channel..
When installing the new battery always connect the battery as the last step. First connect the LCD and than the battery. Otherwise it is possible that you make a short on the board and destroy it.
Yeah, i also managed to break my iPhone 5S because i attached the battery first and then accidentally touched something with the tool that was included in the iFixit kit.. Well, now i have a new battery and a broken iPhone :D
I disagree because when you’re doing a repair you aren’t going to call for power from the battery when you are in the middle of your repair, right? No call for power then no fried board unless u somehow pressed the power button long enough or at all then ur right
Believe all you want but the board will power up when you connect the battery and you will destroy your phone if you do not perfectly line up the screen connectors when reattaching them. Please do not tell people that you think doing something is fine when there are multiple people with first hand experience saying that doing that thing is an extremely bad idea.
Critical point missed in these steps: when placing the new battery in the phone, BEFORE you apply the adhesive strips, test the placement of the battery such that the ribbon connector will align perfectly with the jack on the phone. There is VERY little room for error here. If you stick the battery down and it is a little too low or too high, the connector will not align and you will need remove the battery (hopefully without damaging it) and position it correctly. So do a "dry" fit and see how much room there is between the battery and the top and bottom of the bay it sits in. Then after getting the adhesive strips in place, make sure you put the battery in exactly the same position.
My grandma's iPhone 6s needed a new battery. I'm a mechanic, and pretty tech savvy, so after pricing a battery ($20), and watching your video, I felt confident enough to try it. It worked! Thanks for the walk through.
Thanks for your videos, I dropped my phone in the creek, used your tutorials to replace the screen assembly and the battery. They made the process very easy. Cheers!
Had your video running and an Amazon purchased battery & phone in front of me and had no problems. Well, almost. Two lessons from my end. First, when I pried off the screen with the plastic guitar-looking pick that came with the battery, I discovered that it's possible to bend the tabs that receive the screws on the bottom of the phone as you pry away on the lower part of the screen. When I reassembled the phone and started to insert the two bottom screws, I discovered that one of them would not 'bite' as I tried to screw it in. When I re-opened the case, it was obvious that the tab that would have received the screw was bent just out of reach of the screw. It was easy to gently bend back in place, so an easy fix. Second, when pulling the adhesive out from underneath the battery, it's very easy to break, which you mention in the video; and, of course, the battery is a bear to get out if the adhesive is still attached. One attempt to wrap the adhesive around a pair of plastic tweezers as I pulled it out didn't work very well and the adhesive tore. So, I ended up just using my fingers to reel the adhesive in millimeter by millimeter b.c fingers have a fairly large surface area and it was easier for me to keep the adhesive from tearing and/or separating. Great video. Thanks for saving me a 1000$ on a new phone; this will allow us to keep using our beater 6Ss for a while longer.
Followed your video ansd it worked geat, thanks. The only step you missed out was the prolific swearing and cursing when you drop one of those tiny screws and when those sticky tabs break off even though I pulled hem from the bottom. Apart from that, absolutely brilliant
This video was extremely helpful. With just a few hiccups on my part, I was able to successfully replace my battery, and it works like a charm. In fact, my wife now wants me to replace the battery in hers. I struggled a lot with the screws as they are so small as to practically invisible, but loads of patience helped, and I finally got it sorted. Thanks again for the video!
Very helpful. I'm not much of a mechanic or handyman. This video was EXTREMELY helpful. The only issue I had was the pull tabs broke at the very beginning, so getting the battery unstuck was a task.
NOTE: PLEASE READ! DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE FIRST THEN THE LCD CABLE! THIS WILL SHORT CIRCUIT IT! You don't need to disconnect the LCD cable when going through these steps however, just keep the screen 90 degrees open instead of disconnecting the cable and taking the screen off, i used a rest to stop the screen from falling so i didn't have to hold the screen while i do the rest of steps. ps. i was so scared when replacing the battery, even if i followed the steps correctly i still thought i fucked up somehow
Update- it came back to life! I put the key into the sim hole, then pressed Home button and lock for 5 seconds. I have no idea what it did , but it worked
I used strips of masking tape on a tray; you could also use a magnetic strip. Used post-its to tell me which set of screws was which, and arranged them on the tape as they were on the component (so I knew where to put the longer vs shorter screws)
acooldryplace00 if you haven't got tape, draw a big square the shape of the plate on a piece of A4 and add the screw holes. Then simply position each screw on the respective place you have drawn the hole on. DO NOT MOVE OR DISTURB THE PAPER!
Thanks for clear and useful video! The battery I replaced seemed to have no pull tabs, so I cautiously pried it out with a plastic pry tool, and that worked. When you reassemble, check that the two metal tabs that secure the pentalobe screws didn't get bent when you were prying off the screen. One of mine got bent and the screw wouldn't engage, until I opened the phone again and straightened that tab.
hey...I'm glad I've watched you vid prior to replacing battery...that tip regarding sticky stips saved me a lot of time...i know how battery removal can get on your nerves...good video brother...regards.
Be very careful when removing the battery. I tried pulling the sticky plastic out of the back the battery as described but both of the glue sides snapped. I then had to force/bend the battery up out and in doing so caused it to go off like an indoor firework. The house was filled with smoke and the whole battery glowed cherry red hot. First use a hairdryer to soften the screen glue at the sides and also to soften the battery glue when removing it and it will be a whole lot easier. You may need to warm it more than once
Same happened to me but it also caught fire after a few seconds. Maybe a warning not to puncture the battery would help avoid anyone else suffering the same thing.
When putting in your new battery inside your phone, forget sticking those sticky plastic strands on your battery. It will only make it more difficult to remove in the future. The sticky tape does absolutory nothing as the battery can't fall out of the phone, once the screen is closed.
@@josephfrank1472 The cheapest one I could find on amazon. Sorry, I don't know what you mean by does apply screw with the battery. I'm pretty sure it voids any kind of warranty on the phone if you open it up yourself. But Apple doesn't do anything to alter or damage non-Apple brand batteries. In fact my replacement batteries have been better than the original Apple batteries in terms of battery life and how many months/years they've been viable. Just be careful to buy a new one. Some of them are "refreshed"
I bought the battery with the kit on Ali for 10 bucks. Fixed it as per this video. Since 3hrs the level of charging did not change. With the previous battery it would go down about 30%. Thanks a lot. Good video!
I did it. thanks. I did not disconnect the screen per someone's comment below. Instead I used a heavy box and some masking tape to secure the screen at a 90 degree angle. The adhesive tape under the battery was the hardest to remove. Thanks
EXCELLENT video. Got the replacement threw the bs manual away this was the first video to pop up on a search. Very nicely done (Thanks for the sticky tape advice) Worked great.
This was really helpful -- thanks! Some notes: Amazon sells lots of iPhone 6s batteries with all the tools and adhesive -- ranging from about $15 to $25. Note the batteries' power ratings, though. The battery that came in your iPhone 6s is rated at 1750 mAh. Most of the Amazon batteries claim to be rated higher (for more hours of battery life after a charge). Ratings I came across: 1750, 2200, 2300, 2350, 2600. Most user reviews are positive, in any event -- hopefully the ratings aren't BS. (I replaced my phone's battery with a 2350 mAh model for $19 -- but hadn't noticed the power rating differences when I purchased it -- battery seems to work fine so far. Just purchased a replacement for my wife's iPhone 6s and found one that claims 2600 mAh for less than a dollar more. By the way, I inclined phone screen back beyond 90 degrees while working on it -- probably to 100 degrees or so -- and it still works fine.
The video doesn’t mention this but be aware - the black and very sticky seal will twang off and stick to anything it touches as you remove the screen so grab it and try and peel it off before it does!
Thanks for advices :) Unfortunatelly those original sticky pads hold like hell, so of course I did tear it apart so I had to went hard way :) Plus one note: be careful with the plastic tool while unsticking the original battery! I accidentally cut the battery plastic cover. Luckily no shorts or fire cause I fixed the cut on the baterry immediatelly with insulating tape, but the smell going from the battery made the replacing quite disgusting :D I suggest taping a dining knife with insulating tape so you can unstick the battery without bending it so much as while using these plastic tools... But of course, best is if you manage to et rid of the original pad before battery goes out :)
Thanks a lot this video helped a lot! Just fixed my iPhone 6S Battery. When I pulled the old one out it fizzled and there was some smoke. I was scared because I thought to myself can't these things blow up?! I was fine. I handled it like a boss. B-)
M.Vunduk I've always used the headphones they gave me so I was ok. I stream music in my car VIA Bluetooth. Only thing I would use traditional headphone jack for now is if I had a pair of high headphones for at home or on the go. Even then I would just use the adapter it came with. But yeah Apple deciding to remove it all together was weird. Oh well I'm looking forward to iPhone 8 now 😂😂🤓
they don't blow up, but if you pierce the battery it can shoot the flames of hell out of it once it comes into contact with air and severely burn anything around it (seriously).
I was considering upgrading my phone as the battery on my 6s barely lasts an hour now. But I can't bring myself to spend hundreds of £ on a new phone when the one I already have suits me just fine. So I'm just upgrading the battery. I hope it works. Thanks for the video.
Im having the same problem only my iphone 6s wont charge at all so my phone wont turn on. where did you get a battery and if you dont mind me asking how much.
@@Justin-ge5ot I got mine from Amazon. I think it was only around £14. By the way, it is pretty straightforward to replace. But the screws are TINY. I can't overstate how small these things are! They are like pieces of dust. So I hope your eyesight is good
Good video, I just completed my change. Thank you. My battery had already been replaced, so it was just a matter of prying it off the old double sided tape, which was still sticky, so I just re used it.
This is an old video, but it helped me in 2023. Thanks so much! Thanks for recommending double sided tape. It will be easier to remove than the adhesive that comes with these batteries sometimes.
I always remove the two screws on the taptic engine, and remove it. Then, the two adhesive strips can be easily dragged along the charging port and headphone jack as you pull them out. Don't forget to put it back in before the new battery so that it fits.
You made a catastrophic error by disconnecting the battery last and then reconnecting first. This method has a high potential of blowing up the components 👎
All this so complicated. Just bought a Iphone yesterday and I'm immediately sending it back for a refund. I'm a simple girl. I can't be meticulously prying open phones to insert a lousy sim. I'd rather just take off the back like with a simple smartphone
Thank you!! I did have a little trouble with the adhesive, even when trying to pull it out the back. But otherwise, all good and awesome video, thank you!
Are you sure that the battery from the website you listed works the same as the original one from Apple? cause there are so many of them that don't work and some of them are even dangerous to use.
I agree the adhesive tabs broke off the tape is far too strong I had to pry it out the battery ruptured open giving unpleasant fumes and a whiff of smoke. Kept my patio window wide open for good ventilation and able to throw it outside if it caught fire.
Good concise video which worked perfectly. Should definitely mention not to bend the screen cables past 90 degrees before lifting it though I had it sat flat on the desk at 180 by the time you mentioned it!
the adhesive was impossible to remove on my battery and i wound up piercing the old battery trying to pry it out causing it to fry instantly and filled the room with smoke, obviously ruining my phone..off to best buy i go
The presentation is BANG on. The good, the bad and the ugly for removing the battery tape is exactly how it is described. Even though I followed the good instructions but one of the tapes broke and left me with the ugly fix. Not surprising the same one that broke in the video. That tape sticks man. No easy task to remove. I purchased a kit that contained the battery and tools plus replacement tape all seen in the video. Don't under estimate the value of that suction cup. It made getting started, the case to part initially a god send.
So what about the adhesive between the screen and metal case? I guess you can't put them back and that remove the iPhone water resistance? Does it cause other problems like dust getting in?
The iPhone 6 is not unofficially water resistant. Both my wife and I have had to service our iPhone 6's because water got splashed on them and the power buttons stopped working. If you look at the video above, you can see there is nothing to stop water from seeping into the phone via the buttons or the power connector and headphone jack. There's no gasket or seal of any kind. If you dropped your iPhone in liquid and it didn't break, you got lucky, nothing more.
CAUTION (PLEASE READ): I followed this, I didn't realise that bending the battery whilst trying to remove it is super dangerous, the battery started sparking!! Please remove it super slowly and do not bend it at all!!
Well yeah, lithium batteries are highly volatile when subjected to stress and force... That's why there are warnings all over them and shipping restrictions. Remember the whole thing about the exploding Samsungs?
Thanks for not mentioning that the ribbon cables for the volume and power buttons are located underneath the battery and you've got to be carefull when ur prying it! That wasn't important at all :)
WARNING: My battery IGNITED on fire when I was replacing it. One side of the tape did not remove by pulling the tab, so I was doing the "pry of shame". I must of been prying too hard because I suddenly saw smoke and before I knew it the battery ignited on fire. I had no choice but to get back and let the battery burn itself out. Could of caused serious injury as the battery was only about 1 foot from my face when this happened. My advice is to pay the $80 and let an apple technician do the replacement. But if you insist on doing it yourself, then be EXTRA careful when removing the battery and use a heat gun or blow dryer to warm up the stick tape before trying to pry the battery out.
iPhones have a straightforward and sensible unibody design. It's unibody done right. As opposed to an HTC or a S6 phone where the battery is built around the whole phone.
I managed to change this on my own thanks to your video though i had to do the pry of shame because im stupid enough to messed up on both tab. Anyway just a question, if your new sticker is not sticking out like the old one, how do i replace the battery in the future? Thumbs Up tho!!
Hi will this stop the Touch ID from working? I had a bad experience replacing the battery on the 5s. Once the Touch ID stops working nothing can be done to get it working again as only Apple have the equipment to replace the Touch ID sensor and get the phone to accept the new one. Thanks.
Watch the Bear Grylls episode on how to survive when lost if you have a mobile phone. See how he creates a huge fire with the battery. Just stick a hole in it, once it comes into contact with air it will burst into fierce super hot flames like a furnace. Phone batteries are so dangerous. These guys making these videos should mention that. Someone's house can get burned down due to it.
Because Apple wants you to go to their stores and buy their extremely expensive lithium batteries and then have their employees change it and make money from the labor (plus the battery). If you could just change the battery like it was a TV remote how would they make money off of you?
Okay a year later this vid came out... Now I need a new battery for my 6s Any suggestions of where can I get the genuine battery? Tks everyone (if there is still someone see this comment:/
You can find replacement batteries off Amazon, but you're going to have a hard time finding the genuine product. Apple doesn't like people repairing their iPhones. They are actually lobbying against it in New York at this moment. They want you to buy a new phone.
I was just about to finish replacing the battery when my cat jumped on my screen as it was 90 degrees attached. DAMNIT. One of the cables ripped off. Ordering a new screen on ebay now. That really made me mad. Great video though.
Thanks for the video, super helpful. I Do have 1 Question. Do you HAVE to use double sided tape for the new battery?? can I install the new battery without ANY type of tape??
This is such a good video. There's no long introduction, unnecessary history of the iphone or battery, or how batteries work, and no explanation as to why this needs to be done. You just get right to the point and show exactly how to do it. THANK YOU!

Agreed. First thing to be unplugged with any repair is the battery if at all possible, and should be the last to be plugged in.

But yeah Apple deciding to remove it all together was weird. Oh well I'm looking forward to iPhone 8 now 😂😂🤓
they don't blow up, but if you pierce the battery it can shoot the flames of hell out of it once it comes into contact with air and severely burn anything around it (seriously).
thank you so much for the video! I changed mine and i am someone who has never done this before! Worked like a charm.
Had to do the pry of shame myself also.. thanks for the guide! Successfully changed my screen and battery with your video! Thanks.
I was considering upgrading my phone as the battery on my 6s barely lasts an hour now. But I can't bring myself to spend hundreds of £ on a new phone when the one I already have suits me just fine. So I'm just upgrading the battery. I hope it works. Thanks for the video.
Im having the same problem only my iphone 6s wont charge at all so my phone wont turn on. where did you get a battery and if you dont mind me asking how much.
@@Justin-ge5ot I got mine from Amazon. I think it was only around £14. By the way, it is pretty straightforward to replace. But the screws are TINY. I can't overstate how small these things are! They are like pieces of dust. So I hope your eyesight is good
thanks now i can finally use my phone after being broken for 2 months
Good video, I just completed my change. Thank you.
My battery had already been replaced, so it was just a matter of prying it off the old double sided tape, which was still sticky, so I just re used it.
This is an old video, but it helped me in 2023. Thanks so much!
Thanks for recommending double sided tape. It will be easier to remove than the adhesive that comes with these batteries sometimes.
I always remove the two screws on the taptic engine, and remove it. Then, the two adhesive strips can be easily dragged along the charging port and headphone jack as you pull them out. Don't forget to put it back in before the new battery so that it fits.
ChanChanP , but 8ff fug
I bought a kit that doesn’t have new white strips
You made a catastrophic error by disconnecting the battery last and then reconnecting first. This method has a high potential of blowing up the components 👎
I'm thinking about doing this repair to my phone, just to be clear it is best practice to disconnect battery first and reconnect last?
Kyle Dickison Yes it is very important otherwise you fry the backlight
It s possible to revive it after black screen?
All this so complicated. Just bought a Iphone yesterday and I'm immediately sending it back for a refund. I'm a simple girl. I can't be meticulously prying open phones to insert a lousy sim. I'd rather just take off the back like with a simple smartphone
Kaas Stengel that happens and now my phone doesn’t work nooo how
Thank you!! I did have a little trouble with the adhesive, even when trying to pull it out the back. But otherwise, all good and awesome video, thank you!
Thank you! Watching this with me my 8 year old was able to do most of the steps himself after I got the phone open :) wonderful and simple explanation
Are you sure that the battery from the website you listed works the same as the original one from Apple? cause there are so many of them that don't work and some of them are even dangerous to use.
Tony ma i wonder to I want to replace my battery but I don’t trust aftermarket ones
Elizabeth Marks-Graham just buy original battery for 25 dollars
Thanks I just wanted to see how Apple or who ever replaced my battery did it my battery was 81 got new 100% !!
Great video! Thanks for posting. It was really easy to follow.
Thanks very much for the tutorial - struggled with the adhesive but otherwise excellent.
Not gonna lie, when I first saw “JRE” I thought of “Joe Rogan Experience”.
Please lie.
Please truth.
I did this without taking the screen off, was pretty easy.Had a scare as accidentally cut my battery when taking it out with a screwdriver lol
Thanks for your video! Is this the same procedure for 6 and 6S ??
Thanks,
Awesome! Thank you for posting this.
Honestly perfect.
Very simple video to follow, fixed my fucked battery in 10 minutes.
Bloody legend!
No he is teaching people the wrong way by plugging in the battery first
Jake T Worked for me twice...
I messed up the "pull tab" method and completely destroyed my battery when pulling the adhesive off. probs to apple for making a strong adhesive.
Charizardlover 0707 pry of shame lol
I agree the adhesive tabs broke off the tape is far too strong I had to pry it out the battery ruptured open giving unpleasant fumes and a whiff of smoke. Kept my patio window wide open for good ventilation and able to throw it outside if it caught fire.
Heat it up a little with a blow dryer!
You can heat back of phone with a hair dryer to soften adhesive.
Lance Baker wish I knew that 😕
Good concise video which worked perfectly. Should definitely mention not to bend the screen cables past 90 degrees before lifting it though I had it sat flat on the desk at 180 by the time you mentioned it!
Thank you for your video!! Merry Christmas!
thanks for telling me to plug the battery in before the screen, now my screen and motherboard fried because it sparked!
lol
🤣
Fake news.
Jamie Burke how is it fake? I’m shitting it cuz I gotta do my phone
the adhesive was impossible to remove on my battery and i wound up piercing the old battery trying to pry it out causing it to fry instantly and filled the room with smoke, obviously ruining my phone..off to best buy i go
Same. I heard a HISS and it split open and looked like lava!
Thank you! Very well explained👍🏼
The presentation is BANG on. The good, the bad and the ugly for removing the battery tape is exactly how it is described. Even though I followed the good instructions but one of the tapes broke and left me with the ugly fix. Not surprising the same one that broke in the video. That tape sticks man. No easy task to remove. I purchased a kit that contained the battery and tools plus replacement tape all seen in the video. Don't under estimate the value of that suction cup. It made getting started, the case to part initially a god send.
So what about the adhesive between the screen and metal case? I guess you can't put them back and that remove the iPhone water resistance? Does it cause other problems like dust getting in?
TheMidnightNarwhal it doesn't have water resistance only iphone 7 so far
Neriman KOSE The iPhone 6s is unofficially water resistant
i've accidently submerged my ip6 in soup and it works perfectly fine
The iPhone 6 is not unofficially water resistant. Both my wife and I have had to service our iPhone 6's because water got splashed on them and the power buttons stopped working. If you look at the video above, you can see there is nothing to stop water from seeping into the phone via the buttons or the power connector and headphone jack. There's no gasket or seal of any kind. If you dropped your iPhone in liquid and it didn't break, you got lucky, nothing more.
not the iPhone 6. The 6s. It is actually unofficially water resistant. Please look it up.
CAUTION (PLEASE READ): I followed this, I didn't realise that bending the battery whilst trying to remove it is super dangerous, the battery started sparking!! Please remove it super slowly and do not bend it at all!!
Well yeah, lithium batteries are highly volatile when subjected to stress and force... That's why there are warnings all over them and shipping restrictions. Remember the whole thing about the exploding Samsungs?
Alex Kohlman nope 😂
Great. Easy to understand, to the point vid. Thanks.
Thanks for the straight forwardness and links to the stuff. Awesome vid
Thanks for not mentioning that the ribbon cables for the volume and power buttons are located underneath the battery and you've got to be carefull when ur prying it! That wasn't important at all :)
This makes me so nervous.
This is the best explanation I've seen here to replace battery nice slow and clear..👍thanks
Thanks, very simple & straight forward demonstration.
WARNING: My battery IGNITED on fire when I was replacing it. One side of the tape did not remove by pulling the tab, so I was doing the "pry of shame". I must of been prying too hard because I suddenly saw smoke and before I knew it the battery ignited on fire. I had no choice but to get back and let the battery burn itself out. Could of caused serious injury as the battery was only about 1 foot from my face when this happened.
My advice is to pay the $80 and let an apple technician do the replacement. But if you insist on doing it yourself, then be EXTRA careful when removing the battery and use a heat gun or blow dryer to warm up the stick tape before trying to pry the battery out.
Chris Drozdz the price is now $29 because of complains of battery life usage to apple
just use common sense and dont puncture a lithium ion battery
The battery I bought on Amazon said to let the old battery drain BELOW 20% before removing it, to prevent a spark/fire situation.
you do realize that by using a heat gun pointed in the direct vicinity of the battery you can still mess something up right?
And that's why you should always go slowly and try to notice if it heats up, and have a LiPo fireproof bag at hand.
it always looks easier on youtube... prying the battery out is no easy task, I saw flames while doing it
Don’t you metal and try not to puncture it
Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it
Fantastic instructions. Did it in 1 hr taking my time. Slower is better. Thank you!!
Thanks a lot!!! Do not follow this video!!! Connect the battery after the screen. I’ve now got a broken backlight. Should of read the comments first.
iPhones have a straightforward and sensible unibody design. It's unibody done right. As opposed to an HTC or a S6 phone where the battery is built around the whole phone.
Very helpful and brief video, THANKS A LOT!
I managed to change this on my own thanks to your video though i had to do the pry of shame because im stupid enough to messed up on both tab. Anyway just a question, if your new sticker is not sticking out like the old one, how do i replace the battery in the future? Thumbs Up tho!!
does this work for the iPhone 6 as well or just the 6s?
Tom Conroy are you serious 😂
Great...now my home button no longer works.
Hi will this stop the Touch ID from working? I had a bad experience replacing the battery on the 5s. Once the Touch ID stops working nothing can be done to get it working again as only Apple have the equipment to replace the Touch ID sensor and get the phone to accept the new one. Thanks.
It was very helpful, thank you very much!
told u I'll watch
my battery blew up when removing it
ME TO.. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. DONT KNOW WHY IT DID.
TheMacfann need to make sure before u took the handeling of it it needs to stay off for atleast 5 min
Watch the Bear Grylls episode on how to survive when lost if you have a mobile phone. See how he creates a huge fire with the battery. Just stick a hole in it, once it comes into contact with air it will burst into fierce super hot flames like a furnace. Phone batteries are so dangerous. These guys making these videos should mention that. Someone's house can get burned down due to it.
Thank you - excellent video, and replacement worked a charm, especially with your hints & tricks: invaluable!
Damn such quick and easy instruction with a calm voice. Very nice vid.
great phone but why cant the battery be simple to remove like most other phones.
Because Apple wants you to go to their stores and buy their extremely expensive lithium batteries and then have their employees change it and make money from the labor (plus the battery). If you could just change the battery like it was a TV remote how would they make money off of you?
James R. EEEXACTLY! 😐
James R. 😂
because....Apple!
Most other phones? Like which ones? Nowadays they all have this kind of difficult-to-remove battery.
Okay a year later this vid came out...
Now I need a new battery for my 6s
Any suggestions of where can I get the genuine battery?
Tks everyone (if there is still someone see this comment:/
You can find replacement batteries off Amazon, but you're going to have a hard time finding the genuine product. Apple doesn't like people repairing their iPhones. They are actually lobbying against it in New York at this moment. They want you to buy a new phone.
Thank you man, great tutorial! 👌👍😉
What width size double sided tape do you recommend for battery replacement on an iPhone 6?
I was just about to finish replacing the battery when my cat jumped on my screen as it was 90 degrees attached. DAMNIT. One of the cables ripped off. Ordering a new screen on ebay now. That really made me mad. Great video though.
Worked beautifully! Thanks
thanks man love your videos helps out alot
Thanks for the video, super helpful. I Do have 1 Question. Do you HAVE to use double sided tape for the new battery?? can I install the new battery without ANY type of tape??
