Description: Follow this guide to replace a dead or worn-out...

Allow your phone's battery to drain below 25%, as a charged lithium-ion battery is a potential safety hazard. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Unplug any cables from your phone.
Hold the side key and the volume down button, then select "Power off" to turn off your phone.

Heat an iOpener and apply it to the right edge of the back cover for two minutes.
You may use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate instead, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

Apply a suction handle to the back cover, as close to the center of the right edge as possible.
Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create a gap between the cover and the frame.
If you have trouble creating a gap, apply more heat to further soften the adhesive. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.
Insert an opening pick into the gap.

Slide the pick back and forth along the right edge to separate the adhesive.
Leave the pick inserted near the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Insert a second opening pick next to the first one, near the bottom of the right edge.
Rotate the opening pick around the bottom right corner to separate the adhesive.

Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.
Leave the pick inserted near the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Insert a third opening pick next to the second one, near the left side of the bottom edge.
Rotate the opening pick around the bottom left corner to separate the adhesive.

Slide your opening pick along the left edge to separate the adhesive, stopping before you reach the power button.
Do not insert the pick more than 4 mm to avoid damaging the antenna cable.
Leave the pick inserted near the power button to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Slide the pick along the top edge to separate the adhesive.
Do not insert the pick more than 4 mm to avoid damaging the sensor or camera near the top edge.

Slide the pick around the top left corner and down the left edge to separate the remaining adhesive.
Do not insert the pick more than 4 mm to avoid damaging the cameras.

Grab and remove the back cover.
If your cover is still sticking to the frame, slide an opening pick around the edges to separate any adhesive that may have resealed.
During reassembly:
This is a good point to power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.
Remove any adhesive chunks with a pair of tweezers or your fingers. Apply heat if you're having trouble separating the adhesive.
If you're using custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide.
If you're using double-sided tape, follow this guide.

Use a spudger to pry up and disconnect the wireless charging coil press connector from the motherboard.
There's an arrow printed on the board near each press connector that indicates the recommended prying location. Only pry in this location for each press connector to avoid dislodging surface-mounted components.
To reconnect press connectors, align the connector carefully over its socket and press down with your fingertip—first on one side, then the other—until it clicks into place. Don't try to force the connector into place. If you're having trouble, reposition it and try again.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the ten 3.5 mm‑long screws securing the wireless charging coil and the loudspeaker:
Four screws securing the wireless charging coil
Six screws securing the loudspeaker

Use a spudger to gently pry up a corner of the tab of the wireless charging coil that's adhered to the right edge of the frame.

Insert the point of a spudger into the gap between the right edge of the loudspeaker and the frame.
There's an arrow engraved in the loudspeaker to indicate the recommended prying location.
Pry up to unclip the loudspeaker from the frame.

Remove the wireless charging coil and loudspeaker from the frame.
During reassembly, press around the edges of the loudspeaker to clip it to the frame before reinserting the screws.

Use a spudger to pry up and disconnect both interconnect cable press connectors from the motherboard.

Use a spudger to pry up and disconnect both interconnect cable press connectors from the daughterboard.

Use a spudger to pry up and disconnect the display cable press connector from the motherboard.

Use a spudger to pry up and disconnect the display cable press connector from the daughterboard.
Grab and remove the display cable.

Use a spudger to pry up and disconnect the lower antenna cable press connector from the motherboard.
Move the lower antenna cable so it is out of the way of the battery.

Be very careful not to bend, crease, or puncture the battery during the next few steps. A damaged battery can leak dangerous chemicals and catch fire.
Peel the battery pull tab away from the battery, towards the left edge of the phone.
If you're having trouble getting the pull tab up, use and opening pick or other thin plastic tool at a low angle to peel up a corner. Never use a metal tool on battery, and never press into the battery.

Separate the small, clear tabs above and below the blue part of the pull tab from the rest of the pull tab.
Bend these small tabs away from the battery to make sure they stay clear of the battery.
If these tabs aren't separated, you won't be able to lift the battery in the next step. You can tape these tabs to the side of the phone or the screen to keep them out of the way.
Your device may have two tabs on the bottom edge of the battery. These are designed to tear away during the next step, but if you have trouble removing the battery, you can carefully peel these tabs up as well.

This battery is held by a piece of double-sided adhesive film that is doubled under the battery. When you lift the battery by the pull tab, the left edge will come up, but the right edge will not. You'll remove the remaining film and the battery in the next step.
With one hand firmly holding down the frame of the phone, use firm, steady force to lift the blue pull tab straight up until the battery separates from the bottom layer of adhesive film.
If you're having trouble, apply 1-2 drops of high‑concentration (90% or more) isopropyl alcohol to the left edge of the battery. Raise the left edge of the phone to let the alcohol flow under the battery and wait one minute for it to soften the adhesive.
Lay the battery over the right edge of your phone.
Be careful not to bend the battery on the right edge of the phone frame. You may need to peel up some of the bottom layer of adhesive film by pulling the battery up before laying it over the edge of the phone.

Peel up the remaining film from the frame.
Remove the battery.
If you used isopropyl alcohol, wait ten minutes before installing the new battery to allow the alcohol to completely evaporate.
