It’s also much safer! Pull tabs can often break, leading to the use of flammable chemicals like isopropyl alcohol being used to remove the battery. Furthermore, if the battery is overly flexed/bent during disassembly, it can catch fire with a chemical reaction that is super super difficult to put out. In fact, the recommended way to deal with it is placing it in a bucket of sand and running away.

It’s called “memory cloth.” Regularly flexible but if you put a current through it, the molecules realign and become rigid. It can be tailored to fit any structure based on a rigid skeleton.
It was a problem, you just don’t realize. Batteries need to be replaced on iPhones, which is a service Apple offers. If the repair technician breaks the tabs the battery cannot be removed in store so the whole device gets replaced at the cost of a battery repair. Apple technicians suck, so this occurred frequently, which adds up to extremely high costs for Apple. It’s been an issue for a very long time. It will remain to be seen if this solves it but it is definitely a problem. 😂
This is objectively the best midpoint between making sure the battery stays in place and is easily removable as the old swappable batteries could accidentally detach themselves from inside
Remember when you could just... pull the battery out? No adhesive, no glue, no screws, nothing. Just pop off the back cover, and the battery would practically fall out if you shook the phone hard enough.
nah this is actually a first that Apple did samsung battery adhesive is not that bad to remove but its not like this. in the case of samsung phones heat or alcohol is your best bet like most adhesives
I am not an Apple fan and would go back to a Princess Phone before I buy an Apple phone, BUT I love when engineers are able to do things other than increase complexity!
Amazing just a minute and a half! So much more convenient than having the battery slide in or out! This is the future! Apple is great requiring you have a battery on standby to pull out a defective battery! Totally better!
Also, in case you don’t know, there is the reason why they didn’t give you wall chargers anymore! You can charge new 16th directly from 110v outlet. Put your iPhone to your pocket, take couple nails to each hand of yours and stick it to the wall power outlet! Voila! Your iPhone charged in a seconds.
This could be a huge game changer, trying to remove the ribbon cables on the iPod video/classic is a humengous pain in the ass, pull too hard or something and you've destroyed the entire ribbon cable, being able to apply a current to remove the adhesive is something we needed a long time ago!!!

Truly amazing. I have a cheapo phone that has a tool less removable back cover and the battery clicks out with ease!
Yeah, me too, but there is no apple logo on it, so US kids aren't gonna buy those.
@@neverstopschweiking I had my dads old flip phone till I was in secondary school (high school for the Americans) and it’s still the best phone I ever had
All manufacturers should uses this method
It’s called “memory cloth.” Regularly flexible but if you put a current through it, the molecules realign and become rigid. It can be tailored to fit any structure based on a rigid skeleton.
Would it be stick back to other part if put the battery back on the phone?
He's just quoting the dark knight buddy, I don't think he actually knows, but then again, he might
Then how do you put the new battery?
New adhesive should be in box with new battery
Wellllllll ummmmm about that
What a question? Of course, switch the polarity
Do it again and it sticks again
Good the connection
in iphone 30 use another iphone to unlock your iphone
You'll need to attach it to your car battery
Cool. Does it work in reverse for the new battery?
Theyre fixing a problem which was not present. Just go back to real batteries.
It was a problem, you just don’t realize. Batteries need to be replaced on iPhones, which is a service Apple offers. If the repair technician breaks the tabs the battery cannot be removed in store so the whole device gets replaced at the cost of a battery repair. Apple technicians suck, so this occurred frequently, which adds up to extremely high costs for Apple. It’s been an issue for a very long time. It will remain to be seen if this solves it but it is definitely a problem. 😂
Also, “real batteries”….? Dude, you are clueless 😂
You mean just go back to phones that were 3/4 of an inch thick and could only make calls and send texts?
@@stevemichael8458 are you dumb? I mean removable batteries with plastic backs which never break. the nice compact ones which were clipped in.
This is objectively the best midpoint between making sure the battery stays in place and is easily removable as the old swappable batteries could accidentally detach themselves from inside
Remember when you could just... pull the battery out? No adhesive, no glue, no screws, nothing. Just pop off the back cover, and the battery would practically fall out if you shook the phone hard enough.
The cult members must have this phone.
@@fge00 They'll never take it in one piece.
They really went through all of that bullshit instead of just using a mechanical solution?
Don't act like you didn't spend half an hour prying it out before you knew this
he's a repair technician
S24 watching this be like
“Bruhhhh we have that from 2020!!,”
nah this is actually a first that Apple did samsung battery adhesive is not that bad to remove but its not like this. in the case of samsung phones heat or alcohol is your best bet like most adhesives
"The batree just came off this is amazing but I have no idea how to put it back together "
This is actually really cool! Im waiting for Android phones manufactures will use this
Apple is just looking for ways to make their devices harder to repair while making them break down faster😂 Android is better
I don't think you understand the concept of this video
Thats not amazing thats just extremely stupid. Can not be that hard to just glue it on normally 🤦♂️
or a simple clip, or even better just a firm fit that makes it easy to just take out and put in as needed, holy smokes this is beyond dumb.
i miss cheese strings
some day there will be a removable door and you will just pop the battery out. The future looks amazing!
I am not an Apple fan and would go back to a Princess Phone before I buy an Apple phone, BUT I love when engineers are able to do things other than increase complexity!
Someone designed it like that. Let that sink in.
Amazing just a minute and a half! So much more convenient than having the battery slide in or out! This is the future! Apple is great requiring you have a battery on standby to pull out a defective battery! Totally better!
That's pretty cool, the battery comes out easier and safer than the pull tabs or the adhesives that require heat.
THAT'S TRUE INNOVATION
Batteries used to come out. Apple ruined it for everyone
That idea was smart as hell
Honestly more than Okay with this, keeps it secure and relatively simple.
Best feature apple has made this year
Why is battery not user change-able so convenient and easy and it did worked 100% of the time as well
“This is amazing”
Said no real person ever
Also, in case you don’t know, there is the reason why they didn’t give you wall chargers anymore! You can charge new 16th directly from 110v outlet. Put your iPhone to your pocket, take couple nails to each hand of yours and stick it to the wall power outlet! Voila! Your iPhone charged in a seconds.
This could be a huge game changer, trying to remove the ribbon cables on the iPod video/classic is a humengous pain in the ass, pull too hard or something and you've destroyed the entire ribbon cable, being able to apply a current to remove the adhesive is something we needed a long time ago!!!
The way he threw his tool means that he is in total shock lol
Ok but why not use only a slight strap than investing in a diferent type of adhesive ?
Finally a battery repair on iPhone made so much easier
iPhone 17. You had to buy charger separately. Iphone 2047: assemble it yourself
Using a battery to remove a battery.
Is this similar to solder? I’m guessing the heat from the batteries current warms up the material enough to lose its bond with the battery. Cool
the tabs were cool but this is definitely cooler! I have to wonder if it's due to waste, or I wonder if the pull tabs ever got stuck or ripped.
"this is amazing" is a wild way to say "this fucking blows lmao"
As an android user and iPhone hater, THIS IS FIRE! Not exactly sure how it works but this def needs to be used jn every phone.
Electrically activated? Or just a resistive element run through the sheet?
The people that make batteries are gonna love this 😂
They removed the pull tape because it was found to cause self discharge. This is a good solution.
How do you reinstall it though? Any special procedure or $4,000 tool?
I literally thought that meant you had to literally SQUEEZE a 9 volt battery in your phone. 🤣
So innovative, so user friendly.
did they make repairing it easier?
It's simple.... the heat create from the 9v being connected loosens the adhesive.
This is pretty genius
Does this actually speed up replacement though? And is this battery now more expensive compared to a normal battery?
