iPhone battery replacement

BT Ryan -

My Problem

My iPhone 5 battery was not lasting through the day. I decided to replace the battery myself.

My Fix

The repair went great! I really had to tug to get the iPhone open enough to be able to use the pry tools. Like the video states, pulling the screen is more difficult than it seems it should be.

My Advice

Use a small heat gun or hair dryer to warm the iPhone up a bit so the adhesive loosens a little under the battery. Will make it much easier to lift the battery using the plastic tab.
