I remember times when replacing a battery in a phone was just pop out the back cover, remove the old battery, put in the new battery, put the back cover on, done.
Took me two days to change the battery, new lcd, change back cover, change camera lense, but feels like a new phone, gotta love the shiny back side, perfect video without music and clear directions! Subbed
I was going to make a comment that there is a better battery replacement Video but until I realised I had an extra piece the grounding piece. I came back to this video. Remember hearing about it and she hit it. Spot on. It’s very easy to misplace and forget where it goes. Thank you so much
Just managed to complete this repair! I had a terrible time getting the battery power connector plugged back in. I believe this was partly due to the battery not being perfectly vertically lined up when I stuck it back in which meant the power connector was being strained at a weird angle. The screen gasket was also very fiddly, I think I managed to get it reasonably down but I will no longer think of this phone as being anywhere close to water proof, especially because the kit does not come with the speaker gasket.
Yes they use more screws to make it harder to replace... The maker of every electronic device must use this method too... This is why I would hate being tech support. Well gee George why can't you just use like maybe four screws and a little super glue to hold that thingamajig together
Certified computer repair technician here. Took me 4 hours, slowly, methodically, and carefully to replace the battery, and screen using this guide with the iFixIt adhesive band. Take your time, be gentle with EVERYTHING and you can do this. Is there any way to remove the “Unknown Part” warning notification pip? Or, will that always be there for the rest of the phone’s life?
I figured it wouldn’t be too difficult to change the battery, but after watching this I’ll just go to the nearest Apple store to get mine changed. I’ll mess something up if I do it myself 😆
Can i put the adhesive on the battery after installing taptic engine? I forgot to put the adhesive and installed the taptic engine. So now the battery is lose. I just have to put the adhesive and it's done, right? Why removing taptic engine in the first place? To be easier to take the adhesive out only, right? Thanks!
At the end of the video, when they are replacing the last two screws, you can tell the screens not seated properly and is raised several mm from the housing.
@@mrichardist5764 where though? not at the start or end of the video. not said or in text. i figured you would need to apply some adhesive. but also that it would need some type of press or vacuum tube that would also apply heat in order to fully reseal the phone by letting the adhesive flow in all the right places and remove any gap or air in adhesive. can't be as easy as "apply glue again " or is it?
@@WhoIsOlton At 3:55, she tells and shows that you need to apply adhesive for the new battery and the screen. But I'm sure that this will not be waterproof.
Dear Mr. iFixit, Thank you for the video.

Hey, yesterday i tried to replace my battery. Everything worked good except for lifting up the Screen, it Broke instantly and the Battery pads. Now i have a question. I set evedything together but now my faceid doesnt work anymore. How do i fix this? It was so nice T^T
You are never alone now. And people "might" know what you do and what your children are doing. They can TALK to them. Give them commands. Theoretically. (EFF is the source for this comment.) In phones - "Phone Bloks" was the thing. But it was in the hands of the industry. They don't want to give people the opportunity to customize. And ("metal bucket - tinfoil" argument is not valid, we are talking about Devices, when we put devices inside us we will think even more about it, seriously. Pacemakers? Updates for them? Vibrators? Sleep-aids?) There should be all-open-sourced hardware: printers, 3d-printers, milling machines, phones, whatever else we have. Some "small millions" want that. Just watch videos about the "HomePod" iFixit.
There are so many more screws and brackets on this phone, I have one also that I'm wanting to do on my own, already have the kit and everything, but I've never seen so many brackets and screws. When I changed the screen on an iPhone 6s Plus, and an iPhone 6 Plus, then the last one I done was a 7+, but they were screens. It looks like to me that batteries are a lot harder to replace.
I think apple runs some calibration software when they replace the battery at the apple store. If you change the battery at home, then it doesn't show up anymore
ive replaced batteries on older iphones, u p to maybe a 7? I need mine replaced and decided to check out how complicated the newer ones are. Holy crap theres a lot of stuff on top.
I change my iPhone XS battery and it say “Apple can’t verify the battery “” any help to fix this ? I don’t sen battery health percentage aswell . Battery is brand new
I’m at 89% on my battery health on my Xs Max what if I get the battery replaced @ Apple will the IP rating still hold through? If no I’m just going to get the new iPhone this coming September the 6.7”
I changed my battery now while Watching and i changed my battery without removing any haptic engine screws.simply disconnect the panel and you will be able to remove battery easily.
Is anyone noticing with new battery new models now wont show battery info and instead saying service battery in settings! Anyone know how to fix this issue!?
This iphone my child has just HAS to have double the adhesive glue because this screen is a B!7CH to remove or the one in this video has been opened several times before. I cannot even get it to budge at all.
Why is this video available now. Xs max made its way almost 4 months since its release and now a battery replacement video? Does it imply that iphone xs max's battery are dead?
My main problem is replacing the adhesive strips. I've changed out the display on another phone and used "high quality" adhesive strips to only have them start failing and collect dust on them which eventually lead to the screen coming off around the corners. I had to go back, replace it, and add additional liquid glue used for ceramics. Still, this makes the phone no longer water resistant.
Funkentelechy one of the easiest to replace batteries and screens though (And those get replaced more often than back glass) The back glass is the only downside Still, Apple should make it replaceable, but it’s really not as big a deal as some ppl will lead you to belive
Funkentelechy agreed but he doesn’t like Apple and disses them whenever he can. The screen is literally just as easy to replace in the iPhone’s as it is in the Nokia (or whichever it was) But he won’t say that. The only time I’ve actually heard him say anything good about Apple is when he was doing drop tests to the XS and the glass never cracked no matter how many times he dropped it, and that impressed the hell out of him. Not sticking up for Apple as the whole back glass not being replaceable is ridiculous, just trying to be fair to Apple that’s all There some things about how it’s made that are really good
@@funkentelechy1708 Jerryrig is an Android fanboy and doesn't miss the chance to bash Apple. What he doesn't mention is unlike other phones where you have to repair them yourself or trust some half baked corner phone repair place, Apple has technicians that fix their phones. This DIY repair BS is dumb... It costs exactly $69 to have this done by Apple ($0 with AppleCare) and that's probably less than you'll spend on the crap battery and tools to do this. Not to mention the cost of repairing damage you do to the phone like destroying the QI charger like she did in the video.
Very helpful video! Only thing that's a downside of the battery replacement is the battery message, but other than that everything sits nice and flush! and all connectors are good!
@@renegalvis1 Wrong, even an Apple original battery will trigger this error. The battery need to be manually paired with the specific phone it's used in by Apple to remove the error.

I have a question. Will the iPhone non-genuine battery message show up when the battery is replaced?
Update: yep.
I don’t understand why do they have to use so many types of screws in one device.
to make it harder to repair it
To deter people like you and I from attempting the repair ourselves.
It’s only 2 different kinds
The same reason this channel uses a pretend tech girl. Money.

Waaaayyyy to complex... Thanks Apple... At least they did not glue everything together!!
Great Video btw!
L. G. They glued everything in the macbook pro
L. G. iPhones are the most modular phones
L. G. 🤣🤣🤣
The only hard part is the getting the screen off and reapplying the adhesive at the end, other than that, everything else should be pretty basic.
@@dfuma213 well well well, 3 years later iPhone's the least repair friendly device
Does anyone else notice that the screen is sticking out at 5:53? Good job repairing it Ifixit😑
Yup
It’s because as you screw I the 2 screws in the bottom you have to press it down so they didn’t make a mistake
Yep, probably they thought it is negligible
Also, she might not be actually repairing that particular phone, just showing how to actually do it.
What can I use to unscrew the stand-off screw? I can’t figure out how to unscrew it with anything I have.
Exactly, it’s not included in the set so you have to buy it.
I figured it wouldn’t be too difficult to change the battery, but after watching this I’ll just go to the nearest Apple store to get mine changed. I’ll mess something up if I do it myself 😆

At 1:45 the battery is able to come out just heat up the back with a hairdryer. No need to take out the ground and Taptic Engine .

Did I spot a mistake at about 4:30 😂 with the screw on the bracket?
The problem is not doing the replacement but finding the right battery. They sell so many different brands and they all have flaws.
Why do you need to drain the battery below 25% and what's that ground by the taptic engine used for?
Gary Beltz for safety. They are easy to puncture and if they don’t have much of a charge, it doesn’t have as much energy when it catches on fire 🔥
Anyone know what that bracket is for that she removed at 2:16 ??
wht abt battery health percentage? after replacing?
What about “Important Battery Message” ?
Not sure i wanna do this home alone

3:54 QI charger destroyed
3:54 - 4:00 Phone Changed From XS MAX to 7/8 and Screen Also Changed From Black TO White
There are so many more screws and brackets on this phone, I have one also that I'm wanting to do on my own, already have the kit and everything, but I've never seen so many brackets and screws. When I changed the screen on an iPhone 6s Plus, and an iPhone 6 Plus, then the last one I done was a 7+, but they were screens. It looks like to me that batteries are a lot harder to replace.
Why you don’t have iPhone X battery replacement kits? Like the 7 plus kit that includes even the display adhesive
After changing an original battery on XS won’t show battery health %. Tried few original batteries already, any know why?
I think apple runs some calibration software when they replace the battery at the apple store. If you change the battery at home, then it doesn't show up anymore
Do you lose the water resistante after the repair?
i think so
Not if it’s replaced by Apple no.They reseal it when putting it back together.
Yeah, since you cut the glue...
Yes you do.
No display adhesive. No more water resistance.
Sure
What happens if I lose that ground on the Taptic Engine? I may have done so....
ive replaced batteries on older iphones, u p to maybe a 7? I need mine replaced and decided to check out how complicated the newer ones are. Holy crap theres a lot of stuff on top.

I noticed that too, but she also says that they have videos on how to do that also. 👍🏼
I left the Haptic Engine and speaker in and just poured isopropanol on the battery and pryed it out.
any 7 plus replacement battery available ? Also replacement screen for 7 plus as well 🤔
But where I can find sticker that goes in battery and seal screen
I wonder if this is the proper way. Seems more complicated than before. Is the bottom really needed to be removed. Even the top screen
i think because you need to put alcohol to remove the glue, there is risk alcohol leak
can i put the iphone 13 pro max battery in the iphone xs?

Did it loss water resistance for this procedure?
uhh if u remove the speaker is it waterproof after u put it back in ? (wateresistant)
