iPhone 8 Battery Replacement with iFixit

[@romanelectrics6166]

You forgot one major step, the first thing you EVER DO, I can’t stress this enough, always unplug the battery FIRST to avoid those sparks and causing a fire. Just a helpful tip for the future

gonna attempt to do this… Do you recommend getting the heat bag and suction tool?

[@DIWHYDOTLIFE]

You could probably get away with the tools that come with the battery kit and he heat bag (I opener). The anti-clamp is certainly much easier but the suction cup that comes with the kit is sufficient.

My iPhone 8 is losing battery power faster everyday after having it 6 yrs. I found if I turn to display brightness way down and shutoff the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth,it actually helps a lot. However, I am one of those few that almost never carries my phone or leaves it on . I existed for decades with a phone wired to the wall and now over the last decade, it seems the world resists that attitude.

Just put an iPhone SE 3 logic board, home button, and battery, and there you go you got yourself an iPhone 8 with the latest software! BOOM!

Hey, hello from Argentina. One question,i'm planning to do this, but once we do the battery swap, what is the recommended, let the battery FULLY drain after swap then make a full charge? Or just after finishd the work start loading? I assume always let the battery stay between 20% and 80%. I would pay to someone to do this, but shopping will make pay you +90USD for the whole combo.

[@DIWHYDOTLIFE]

New batteries are usually pre-charged between 60% to 80%. You’re totally right, you should use your phone down to about 20% and try not to charge it past 80% and definitely don’t plug it in and let it sit plugged in over night. Recently Apple has been adding lots of software to combat bad charging habits so you actually don’t need to worry all that much about it anymore.

@@DIWHYDOTLIFE another question if i may, how often i should do a full charge of the phone, i mean, let it dry, and fully load it from zero to 100?

[@DIWHYDOTLIFE]

I just try to stop it around 80% but from time to time I forget to unplug it and it charges to 100% so if you’re forgetful like me from time to time is fine.

@@DIWHYDOTLIFE thanks for taking the time to give an answer man!!

[@BryanChance]

Why do you run it down to 20%?????? You can't say something like that and no explanation. LOL

[@DIWHYDOTLIFE]

It’s safer to work on a discharged battery. Had this battery been fully charged it may have ignited!
