WTWHAT! Nice job getting me halfway. Yes the adhesive snapped, coulda used a proceed with extreme caution on that one. Now how the FUDGE do I get the new battery back in? I can't just slap it in the way I pulled it out - how to do the adhesive??
Two great faults with this video are 1) You don't show how to remove the screen at the top and 2) You don't explain what to do if the adhesive strips break (as they almost certainly will!) For a 'how to' video to be useful it has to be comprehensive.
Greg Lee did you manage to fix your phone? I fix mine yesterday and the adhesive strips broke almost immediately. So for any one out there, you can heat the back side of the phone a little bit at a time (only where the battery is located) this to soften up the glue. The use a plastic prying tool from the sound buttons side of the phone !only!(important not to damage the electronics on the right side). Re heat a little at a time and go steady , that way you’ll get it out safely. Success!
I checked out a couple of videos on this before coming here; this one was the best IMHO. Regarding the sticky strip breaking issue mentioned below, the secret I found was to get a good grip on it (not just a corner) and pull slowly, evenly and vertically (perpendicular to the battery. I did break one strip by pulling too quickly, but I was able to get it going again with my tweezers. Nice job folks; I am charging the new battery now. I replaced the screen a month or so ago too, which was cracked, the iPhone feels light new again!
I am going to buy the battery for my iPhone 6, but I am wondering that does the adhesive tape come along with the battery or I have to buy it separately ??
This method works for removal, but the "follow the steps in reverse" is bullshit as iFixit doesn't show you how to reapply the adhesive strips or the screen adhesive. C'mon, guys!! Do you need a refresher course?? The iFixit toolset that comes with their battery replacement kit is excellent.
Well for starter's awesome vlog, what was Apple thinking with non-removeable battery now every affected customer has to do this with a smile like really???
Hey Sweetcheeks, YOU didn't put a replacement battery in ??? Isn't the title called battery replacement ?!? Also, what about the adhesive, is that reusable ?
What’s the point in making a ‘how to’ video that doesn’t show all the steps? If you’re going to sell batteries and the tool kit required to change a battery, then put up an instructional video, wouldn’t it be just as easy to make it a fully comprehensive guide rather than this vague highlight video?
whack instructions. its crucially important you tell people to soften up the adhesive holding the battery by using heat. failure to do that will make the the adhesive snap off easily when you tug on it.

Great video, very helpful, can you please describe the tools name, and the name of the tool that help you to remove the screen, thank you
I am going to buy the battery for my iPhone 6, but I am wondering that does the adhesive tape come along with the battery or I have to buy it separately ??
How is the battery working after few months for someone who did use the iFixit Battery? For iPhone 6.
Thank youuu

Thanks for your help i fixit
Yeah it lacks the adhesive strip installation. Bought my battery in Kuwait and no strips. 🙄
Hey, thanks for the video. I just changed my iPhone6's battery and it worked. A million thanks! Much love for you:-)
Beautiful and smart thanks
YESSSSSS, I've done it in about 15 minutes. Great tutorial anyway.
Finally shows how u avoid pry of shame
PRO TIP. Use the guide on ifixit.com , this is way better detailed information (this video leaves out crucial parts)!!
i did it but its cant turn on :(
The ifixit battery Are better than Apple original battery?
Fra no but they are pretty dang close
I use scanditech batterys
She skipped the steps to totally remove the face. Do not remove the face by pulling!

There's no labeling of which screwdriver is which in this kit.... not helpful
whack instructions. its crucially important you tell people to soften up the adhesive holding the battery by using heat. failure to do that will make the the adhesive snap off easily when you tug on it.
Do not buy their kit, they do not provide all the necessary screws to open up your iphone, its actually disgraceful
what model iPhone do you have? Did you buy the kit or the part only?
I'm left with an open phone I don't know what to do
Wow. This is why I have an Android phone.
I can just pull off the back and pull out the battery.
No tools needed.
lnpilot well good for you!!!!!👍😇
Try doing that on any recent android flagship
Wow. Be specific. If you have an old ass phone sure, you can easily remove the back. EVERY new android phone has a non-removable battery.
