Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace my iPhone battery myself?
Yes, you can replace your iPhone battery yourself. iFixit provides free step-by-step repair guides for every iPhone and sells DIY Battery Fix Kits for iPhones ranging from the 4 series to the 15 series. These kits include all the necessary tools and parts to replace your battery.
The repair process generally involves handling adhesive, screws, connectors, the screen, and is relatively straightforward. Apple simplified the battery replacement process by making the iPhone 14's back glass removable so a fixer does not need to remove the screen to access the battery. This “open from the front and back” design became the norm with the iPhone 16 series (the 16's battery is also secured by a new, more repair-friendly adhesive which debonds when an electrical current passes through it).
How much does it cost to replace my iPhone's battery myself?
Using an iFixit kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself can save you $34 to $49 compared to Apple's out-of-warranty repair costs, depending on your model. iFixit's battery replacement kits average around $40, while kits for newer models like the iPhone 15 cost around $60.
