How To Replace the Battery In Your iPhone 13!

iPhone batteries are rated to hold 80% of their capacity for up to 500 charge cycles, which lasts roughly 18-24 months for most users. When that happens, you may notice performance issues with your phone, which means it’s time for a new battery. Today we are going to show you how to replace the battery in your iPhone 13!

I wish batteries could be user replaceable again by just popping off the rear and inserting a new one. It's the only part of phones with a limited lifespan, it needs to be very easy to access and replace...

[@sysierius]

Glad i can with my Samsung galaxy xcover 5

[@Carterthielftw_]

@@sysierius I FOUND ANOTHER XCOVER USER! Im on an Xcover Pro and I love the thing. the Xcover lineup is the most underrated lineup ever. I love them

[@alex.theoto]

There are a few phones out there, like fairphone and other non-wide-known-brand to the public...

[@Cobras.]

Except that basically destroys water resistance

[@平和-v1z]

@@Cobras. No it does not, take a look at the Galaxy S5 for example. And with today's engineering-knowledge, even higher IP ratings with thin designs should be possible.

[@ScoopofScience]

Great thing about iPhones is how they included pull tabs for the battery. The down side, is the batteries are tied to the phone via software.

[@everythingvideos24]

I'll be glad when apple allows users to repair their devices they own.

[@Carterthielftw_]

@@everythingvideos24 they said that the program would come out early 2022. I am still waiting for it and there have been no updates. I kinda hate Samsungs repair program as it doesnt even have individual batteries, but at least I can swap my display without a $300 programmer and can get ahold of a genuine display

[@MrFallen1ne]

@@everythingvideos24 the joke is on you because right to repair is already thing with Apple but they intentionally software lock components so diy repair still isn't a viable option forcing you to take it in to them regardless if you want all components to function as they should anyway that is.

[@bloxxedboii3896]

Tip : before removing the display, attach a normal Ifixit suction cup onto the screen so that when you have to rest the phone, the suction cup lays against the table keeping the display at an angle

[@BalkansWay]

The battery replacement is the easiest part , but to retain battery health and not get the important battery message is the hard part. Next model will have the back glass paired to the motherboard .

[@BilliBilliB]

I know it's really hard to do successfully, but if you get the old adhesive off the body off the phone it'll will make it so the display sits flush with the phone. Other than that great job iFixit!

[@Breadcrumbs2]

When putting the screen back make sure FaceTime works, as well as both of your cameras.

[@johndaskalakis827]

What to do if it doesn’t work ?

[@destructokrill9074]

It doesn’t look hard Its just a-lot of work and making sure you have good memorization of taking out each part/screw and putting it back together Plus also being gentle with this stuff comes into a big play So I definitely see why ppl charge a good amount for doing this Its not the part its the labor work that takes time to doing this Great Vid!

[@anthonyjohno90]

Should get a Qianli iCopy Plus 2.2 with Battery Board for iPhone it’s brilliant

[@kito1san]

Yup. That is the solution. Surprise ifixit didn't mention it as they had shown to use the icopy to replace the screen.

[@izumihyari3333]

Apple should sell or give the repair kit for customer who buys their tech.

[@Gollammeister]

A phone that u can upgrade urself be a real game changer so u could upgrade camera hard drive battery etc if u follow of course manufacturers wouldn’t like it cos it helps eliminate repeat new phone custom plus it helps lower land fill too old parts could recyclable too so win win

[@kernel5446]

I will NEVER in my life buy an Iphone. Really hate how parts need to be synced. Sooooooo anti-consumer.

[@SYEP]

Does this instruction also apply towards the iPhone 13 Mini?

[@rossfisher323]

You guys should do a video on OneWheel next 😜

[@Battyglitterlene]

Tip: getting the screen off is the hardest thing, so what I did was get the screen kinda close to lifting and use the dropper to apply a little alcohol into the seam to even more soften up the adhesive holding the screen down, made me able to finally get the screen up

[@Lookie-x2p]

Wow. My iPhone 13 is pregnant 😢😢😢

[@BarfingGerbil]

Excellent and very well done tutorial! Maybe it's just better to replace the iPhone with one that has an easily replaceable (and swappable) battery and standardized connectors and have batteries that last longer than a year. Apple's making it very difficult to continue to use their phones.

[@YouTuber3261-w7y]

Be careful around the top of the screen at the speaker/camera housing while taking the screen off. I broke mine.

hello

[@d4n93r]

dont you need to program the battery anymore?

[@danieltroger]

Also wanna know! It seems like people aren't aware of the battery page in settings not reporting the percentage used by individual apps anymore if one replaces the battery without programming it. It's what's keeping me from replacing my iPhone X battery which is at 1755 cycles. I can't go to apple because my phone is jailbroken and I can't go to independent repair shops because they probably don't know they need to program it (how do I find a good one that does?) and I'm too lazy to find a programmer which maybe works and yolo-order it.

[@raphaelsdias]

@@danieltroger Who cares about individual app battery report? (I’m also jailbroken on iOS 14.1)

[@rushilkisoon]

@@danieltroger I was under the impression that reprogramming the device to accept a new battery or screen might require you to restore it regardless? That’s why they ask you to back up

[@JaysIphoneRepairs]

Replacing batteries is a good idea to fix battery health back to 100%

[@Gollammeister]

So if a person has battery replzce by a genuine apple repair centre is the face unlock etc all intact ? Cos if not then you should be reimbursed as ur phones no longer 100% functional which ain’t right

It is actually getting a new battery and not a bogus or used one with a new label. There is never a honest source found on the internet but only a load of scammers trying to get your money. Why do the makers never sell a genuine new battery or at least an honest source of them.

My iPhone 11 Pro recently had charging issues and technician removed the battery. While reassembling he did not put any Adhesive back of battery. Now I feel my battery is heating a lot. Does it because of no Adhesive back of Battery? Do Adhesive act as thermal paste like the one we use in case of computer processor??? Please let me know and also if you can share a buying link…. Anyone else facing similar issue??? Please reply in detail

[@Lookie-x2p]

I had the same.issue other model. Heating and easily drain

[@Name-sb2in]

After replacing battery does it affect how the phone looks? Like damage that couldn’t be undone due to opening it or whatever?

[@kito1san]

It actually got easier as the battery adhesive is easier to be removed than it was before with a spuget. The only hard part is getting the glass off with the waterproofing adhesive making it tough.

[@blakespower]

the only problem is these "NEW" batteries dont seem to be new. I replaced mine in previous iphone versions and they lose their power much faster than teh original battery

[@ThatGuyInPhilly]

Looking at this since Apple announced they will jack up battery replacement prices starting March 2023. 🙄Very doable with patience. Little more complex than 6 Plus battery replacement which I did years ago, that was no problem. So, replacing this with an authentic Apple battery would still create an "Apple cannot verify genuine battery" message? 1:18

[@moonelgendy]

Does it work the same after this ?!

[@solopanditkepapa4337]

[@CrazyPlayer-pf2hv]

but francis from the rossmann server said stay away from ifixit batteries, why?

[@Raja995mh33]

iPhone batteries are not rated for "up to" 500 cycles. That's just an underestimated number from Apple. Unless you EXTREMELY try to kill the battery as fast as possible, they'll last way longer than 500 cycles until they reach 80%.

[@syber-space]

That is the definition of a rating though. It's the point where nearly all products are guaranteed to exceed the label. It's better (and more customer friendly) to claim what will happen, rather than what can.

[@Snakebloke]

My MacBook Pro has hit 1800 cycles before the battery started showing its age.

[@Bendaak]

500 cycles brings you down to around 85%.
