My Problem

My iPhone battery usually dies down every year. Last year in January I paid around $90 to get the battery replaced. But when I saw I could do it myself for just the cost of the battery and shipping I went for it.

My Fix

I took my time and followed the video published and I was able to change the battery without any major issues.

The toughest parts are making sure I removed the top screen and then later removing the glue from the battery.

The rest of the repair was fairly easy.

My Advice

I bought the Magnetic Project Mat which I will use for other projects and it really helped me with the small screws.
