I remember 2010 when removing battery was a very easy task

[@iFixitYourself]

ahhhh yes, the good ol' days

[@e90_arif]

And replacing the screen was a pain in the ass 😂

[@toby2636]

Still is fairly easy much better than most other phones

[@EDISONTECH]

iPhone 4

[@ichhaiezv6395]

If its easy, then its not waterproof.

[@suzannehedemann4388]

“Not only possible, it’s actually very easy”, says you. The amount of tools alone sounds like it’s going to be hard af. 😂

[@s.j.5850]

Excellent video. This is one way to stay ahead of the manufacturers that prefer that we buy another phone rather than just replace a worn out battery. Offering the tools to do so is just icing on the cake!

[@billysilver7858]

Mlm Arbonne I mqqqqq Okay

[@vatinp]

Or buy repairable phones like Fairphone.

[@joshymcdaniel9233]

Jokes aside every company implements things on “updates” that slowly slow a device’ Be it a laptop a phone a tablet they do it knowing we will buy a new one because it doesn’t work like it once did’ 100% truth to this’

[@VaughnDykes]

I guess to pull tabs out

[@brettito]

I want an ifixit video for my life.

[@Snow-vo1yi]

"Just go ahead and grab your tweezers and gently remove that $50,000 debt."

[@CO8848_2]

OK, this does not look like the easiest thing to do.

[@Fucue]

This was really easy to follow! So I sent it to a shop to be repaired because it’s too much work for me

[@glennreponte9210]

How did you manage to get rid of battery notification in the home screen as well as the battery health in the settings after the replacement?

[@sharvesh1942]

Normally it automatically sets itself

[@eldricarolle7556]

Great video used it to change my battery

[@wavyd05]

Excellent!!

[@noobali3070]

Anyone having issue with screw 3:57?? From the 3 screwdrivers I have.. neither works

[@jakedavid2523]

didnt show how to install the grounding clip!!!!

[@theendoftimesministry]

Yeah; “easy”

[@Parabolic_P]

😂

[@therax8810]

Me having the tools to do it but scared to proceed, so I’ll just take it to the store.

[@JoeyvanHummel]

"...And then we just add a pinch of kosher salt and mix." Oh wait, this *isn't* Binging with Babish?

[@pritamdey9712]

Good lord I am not doing this on my own 😂 I rather pay the service guy 😂

[@rafaeljosecaravaca6276]

Thanks!

[@JaysIphoneRepairs]

Do you swap the bms to keep battery health?

[@oriegemini5353]

thank you

[@pulsarbrooke]

Thanks for the help, much appreciated 🎉❤

[@VaughnDykes]

Why did you have to take out the Taptic Engine before battery removed. ?You installed it before new battery.

[@akakha]

So it can show the adhesive i think

[@user-zt6mo6vg7o]

Just save your time don’t remove the bottom part save your time put isopropyl alcohol top part in the battery wait till few minutes pull out the battery and put the new one

[@EternalGeorge7]

At what point do you call SWAT or the Bomb squad?

[@Comegetmesuckas]

Awesome step by step video, sir!

[@josephdragan7734]

Honestly, one would think that the designers purposely made it difficult to replace the battery. The very thing that is most likely to fail over time

[@NeoJSsk]

I agree 100% cuz 7 and earlier were literally wayyyy too easy and so I guess they figure out it was not so good idea to make it so ez

[@johngellard1187]

They do,they dont want the customer to attemp it.

[@vikramsridhar7316]

Well yeah, how else are they going to get you to buy a new phone

[@jeffcharlesaerialphotograp1367]

Just like new vehicles...the average guy can't work on one due to lack of knowledge and/or tools! In my opinion, it's well worth the $110 I paid to have the battery replaced!

[@josephdragan7734]

@@jeffcharlesaerialphotograp1367 Of course it's worth while to pay $110 for a new battery if you have no choice. Point taken. But there is no real reason to make it so complicated to swap out the very component that is the most likely to degrade over time. Imagine if all battery operated devices were so designed.

[@aaronramdhanie4340]

Excellent tutorial!

[@doruktopcu]

These tools are real good

[@domxem5551]

Compared to the iPhone 8 this is way more complex. It is true, the real yearly improvements are the added difficulties to changing yourself the phone’s battery

[@2ndGear]

I have an 11 max pro. Will this tutorial be consistent regarding the steps it takes to replace my battery?

[@Essaaaaang]

Why is this sooo satisfying 😢😅

[@GhostDevilGamer]

I do not use iphone but it is so satisfying to watch.

[@makingkbs]

Do I have to remove lower bracket? I mean speaker and taptic engine. It seems to be don't have to remove if I only replace battery

[@asdrty258]

2:54 11.9k mAh?

[@brendankiyohara771]

Why am I watching when I don’t have an iPhone 11.

[@_stealth_y]

Because it’s fun.

[@iFixitYourself]

IDK but we're glad to have ya!

[@nathanmccallum6346]

Same lol

[@LootKiwi]

For extra knowledge!

[@RBVJnt]

On iPhone wasn’t lol

[@jamiegliddon5802]

Where do I get the screen adhesive and battery adhesive from? Thanks

[@OffroadAZ]

Glad i watched this video. Ill just pay someone to do this suuuuper easy job.

[@stevenryan6008]

I always use a cocktail stick to replace the tiny screws. They are very magnetic and it’s virtually impossible with a screwdriver however small.

[@broggli4005]

I tried the 7+ replacement kit, little did I know I was being too harsh and tore the screen connectors. now I’m watching this on an iPhone 11! There’s a little story for ya 😂

[@01bigtrev]

I replaced battery on my iPhone 7 Plus but ripped the ribbon to the Taptic Engine so had to buy one off ebay and reopened it all all again. Wasn’t much to get a new one but it’s far too easy to catch or twist the ribbons. If you ever see a video and it says rest the Taptic engine still connected just take it out and save you the hassle 😂

[@delype70]

Which is exactly why I will pay someone else to do it. Then it is on them. 🙃

[@obscurepunkmusic]

You say to replace the five speaker screws, then your video cuts to them being gone again, then the bracket goes back on using those holes. WTF

[@MR1shank]

what do you use on standoff screws? philips isn't taking

[@patricktoulze1274]

Thank You!

[@nexttech6828]

do we have to add adhesive to the screen again before tightening the screws back on the bottom in the last step ?

[@ThatAverageMTBer]

Bc the iPhone 11 is water resistant

[@mgomez5606]

How do repair shops know in which direction to open these phones if they have never opened one up? Some swing open in other direction.

[@swiftiesbaby]

Hi! i have my iphone 11 stuck on 70% charge after replacing the motherboard should i change the battery or is the replacement motherboard defective please help.

[@RickGrimes__]

10:30 (in the morning) 71% 14:20 31% of battery (Battery health 86%) Is that good for Iphone 11 pro? I use 10w power adapter (i use it because my phone does not heat up while charging). Im thinking about changing the battery in next 3-4 months but not in Apple but rather in store that i bought the phone (they also change batteries) If somebody changes battery on my 11 pro will the phone be as good as before (in terms of feel like when u touch the back of the phone)

[@samquinn6427]

Dam it Jim, I am a doctor not a cell phone repair person.

[@normanayob8812]

When u replacement iphone 11. We need to reprogram batery health right? When u check batery health just error on setting (-)

[@IcyHotX2]

Should I get the new battery kit for this?

[@shelbyGT40]

How do I get rid of the battery health error?

[@michaelcrockett895]

Great tutorial! My battery died while watching this video.

[@absolutely1337]

are the oled screens a lot more delicate than lcd? have done a lot of lcd iphones. never an oled..anything to worry about?

[@SaifulIslam-rz7en]

Thanks a lot but I still might think it’ll be better for me to get it done at the apple store .

[@azolivas]

Agreed it’s worth the $69 z

[@fckninja]

Great tutorial! Thanks! The only remark - while re-installing speaker 6:03, you don't need to put back one screw. It will fix later the big lower bracket 6:22.

[@Sheerahboom87]

looks very informative but its either i buy new Iphone or just look for someone who can replace mine.

[@AmaneArtz]

I appreciate this!!! I’ve been thinking of fixing and replacing my battery as it’s current maximum capacity is 74% aaaa no I’ve noticed it’s been dying much faster lately. To take it to a replacement shop is expensive, so I’d prefer doing this myself. Very informative and simple to follow! Saving me like $200😂

[@ju4n831]

Where did you get $200 from? I've looked it up and it says $89

[@AmaneArtz]

@@ju4n831 Google. And pricing from local places. A lot of these places charge a ridiculous amount of money to do the battery transfer..And either way, comparing to that price it’s still saving you an easy 60-70 dollars since the replacement kits on amazon are only 25-30

[@evieswegsda1089]

I’ve Had my IPhone 11 for Like 3 Years, and the Maximum Capacity Has Only Gone Down to 80%

[@narayansinghthakur1316]

I used to keep 4 batteries in my pocket in 2013 time

[@kikataye6293]

So if you do it wrong your waterproofing is done😩

[@rvviihiii]

Can I change my battery without removing the Taptic Engine ?

[@rumamukherjee1738]

Nice

[@HaroonWahidi]

Will the Face ID work after replacing battery?

[@steviepee]

Well I thought all was going well until I put the phone back together. Turns out I inserted the pick between the digitiser and the glass display, which is now kaput. Great.

[@idiscovertech]

According to some users, iOpener heater isn't that functional

[@ARMA4]

My iPhone 11 Pro Max is stuck in a boot loop randomly during normal usage. It randomly booted to home screen and I got to settings then it turned off and back to boot loop. There was no spinning logo so I think it’s a battery issue and not a hardware issue. On your website it states a battery replacement may fix a boot loop.. how likely is this? Also my battery capacity was 83-84% No physical damage to device and no sim liquid indicator triggered

[@chantakzee]

Wait why do we need to remove the taptic engine and speakers ?

[@babybliss694]

Okay can anyone tell me if third part batteries are good ? And last long ?

[@Hoooow.2]

no need to program the battery? not gonna be problem with error messages pr something?

[@kiranpoojary1702]

Bro battery replacement…any True Tone prb

[@411Soulman1]

I’m getting a message when Zi try to update my phone that I’m no longer connected to the Internet. Is it because I replaced my parts with non-Appple parts?

[@nitinnanda1865]

65$ for the battery in Canada and 5-7$ for each of the screwdriver and it will cost the same as from the apple store and will sum up to 130$. Can you suggest why should we do this on our own and not from the apple store and why you provide the battery along with all the tools for 55 USD and not similar pricing in Canada ?

[@19Jose91]

Just buy it from aliexpress, it’s the same

[@Diaznator]

Wish they could go back to the I-phone 4 kind of battery sticky tags.

[@mgomez5606]

Is this battery already matched to the phone so you don't get message that it not original Apple part?

[@mllekianna]

Hi is it fine to have your battery replaced from a non apple store? It's too expensive.

[@YatoG4mi]

How about the battery msg?

[@okroy1533]

wow

[@ikid1217]

Can we do this on iphone 11 pro?

[@CoolCuy]

can we just change it ? or we need to delete some error ?

[@coreytucker22]

How are you able to do this with the new battery lock software Apple has in their update? For iPhone 8 models and up whenever i try to replace the battery i get a message in setting saying “This battery is not genuine” following by the percentage going down to 0% and the phone not charging then boot looping.

[@gilbertferro2013]

So I did not see you startup the phone on the video. I hear that you get a message that says your iPhone cannot detect the battery and it is obnoxious?

[@JustNam66]

Question sir! If you replace the battery 🔋 of a water and dust resistant iPhone, will it still be the same from the original that the phone was never been open? Like the quality of the IP rating?

[@KupcaH]

watch video again and listen carefully. They told about water\dust seal adhesive.

[@josephgangte]

Very informative

[@iFixitYourself]

Glad you thought so!

[@jason10095]

What's the point of removing the taptic engine and the speaker?

[@techestech1039]

Please bring ifixit tools kit to india please 👍🏼👍🏼

[@fatehhmza7613]

I am from Algeria looking for a motherboard for iPhone 11 is it available

[@rizaramadhan1171]

Is this safe to open without heater?

[@Jatsotserah]

Is there a fix for the battery message after replacing it?

[@aileen2918]

I want to know too cause I want to replace my battery on my iPhone XS Max but not if it shows that lock battery message 😭

[@acetigg6690]

Did u figure this out?

[@marketguru1335]

i broke the sim tray doing this i believe

[@jetscreamer1]

So basically disassemble everything to replace one battery.

[@arohamatene3683]

Omg what a lot of work, all the fiddly bits and screws just to get the battery out. Cool video though but I think I’ll just take it to the pros 👍🏽

[@sanapalasai]

When to change iPhone 11 battery. Mine is 83% and is it good to use or I have to change?? Please respond for my query

[@costin_gabriel1940]

Does affect faceid?

[@RealGalaxyGamers]

how do you reseal an IPhone?

[@r3dp3anut41]

Is it necessary to apply the adhesive again? Or can you just clip the screen in without it?

[@timothygarcia3192]

The adhesive is what makes your phone waterproof/ stay to together stronger. If you’re not worried about that stuff then yeah you can just clip it back together.

[@BaconFaceMcGee]

Fancy.

[@Dragon_Ruler_1997]

When changing a battery do u loose everything on the phone like apps etc?

[@mark929rr5]

Yes. The battery stores all the information in your phone. Same as a car battery. If you change the battery in your car it will lose all the information to make your car run. Never change a battery in anything. Do not watch this video.

[@RickGrimes__]

Hello,is it possible to damage the screen ? Like im an overthinker and i think that if they (store where i bought the phone) change the battery the display wont be the same like before... babaha

[@policho4350]

Out of curiosity the whole lower bracket/taptic engine/Speaker removal is it critically necessary for the repair? as you guys put everything back before placing down the battery, or is it more about a clearance issue/room for work with the battery?

[@Shamino0]

I won't speak for iFixit, but based on other iPhone battery repair videos I've seen, it's a lot easier to remove the pull-tabs with those components removed. With them in-place, it's much easier to break the tabs, which will make it a lot harder to get the old battery out without causing damage.

[@Vedrajrm]

What’s a stand-off screw?

[@keymusic]

A standoff is a threaded separator of defined length used to raise one part in an assembly above another.

[@aintthatthetruth69]

Too many steps.

[@1505blaze]

I will just get someone else to fix it :/

[@tjs8560]

How do you turn off the battery health message?

[@crabbynebula]

where does it appear? always? or only in settings?
