My Problem
My iPhone 5's screen was beginning to pull away from the chassis near the volume buttons. After a few Google searches, I realized that my battery was likely swelling, and needed replacement.
My Fix
The repair went flawlessly. I used iFixit's iPhone 5 Battery replacement Fix Kit and followed the online instructions. Everything I needed was in the kit, and the repair was straightforward. Upon opening the phone, my battery was indeed swollen, and after I replaced it, the screen sits flush with the chassis once more.
My Advice
Remember to safely dispose of your old battery at a recycling center or a designated e-waste receptacle. Don't just throw it out.
