You can use whichever adhesive strips for whichever phone, it’s just sticky goop to make sure the battery is secured.

The 6SPlus though has a much bigger battery, so you may need to do some trimming to get it to fit correctly.

But. That being said, if you look back at the iPhone 6S battery listing. Take a look at the image of the rear side of JUST the battery (not the kit, part only). Adhesive strips are pre-installed. So I would get the 6S kit. And if you think you want extra adhesive just in case, you can buy additional of other phones.

So, I can basically buy "Just the Battery" + iOpener kit, and I get the same results in terms of the require parts needed to get the job done?

@ngoldenaxe I would make sure you have the following to do this repair properly. It’s up to you what method you use to purchase. the kits are meant to make one off repairs easy, but if you already have some of those tools, doing it “a la carte” may be preferable.

* Battery + battery adhesive

* Display adhesive liner (to re dust/water resistance the phone when you close back up)

* Pentalobe size P2 and precision Philips head screwdriver and/or bits.

* Suction cup or iOpener

* Nylon/Plastic Spudger
