sometimes phones have shorter lives than
others and that might be due to a bad
battery it sucks but it happens and hey
that's why I'm here
so today I'm going to show you how to
change the battery in your iPhone 6
hi I'm Gwendolyn with iFixit and for
this repair you're going to need a
pentalobe screwdriver a nice clack
plastic opening tools a Philips triple
zero screwdriver tweezers and in the
event things go wrong with the existing
adhesive tabs you'll need an eye opener
and plastic cards when you do your
repair be sure to follow the step by
step guide on ifixit.com not only will
it walk you through the complete repair
but you can also see comments and notes
from other users who have followed it
which is really cool and very helpful
let's get started every time you do a
repair you want to make sure your device
is completely turned off and once you've
done that you can start by removing the
two pentalobe screws at the bottom of
the phone with those screws out now I
can open my phone and to do that I'm
going to use a tool called the ice block
the ice black prise your phone opened
just enough making sure you won't damage
any of the cables inside your iPhone if
you don't have a nice black you can use
a combination of a small suction cup and
your spudger or opening tools to private
phone open just be extremely careful not
to damage any cables inside the phone
using the ice black is super simple just
position the suction cups right over the
home button and open the handles once
the suction cups are fully engaged then
press the handles together and you'll
have an open phone the first step to
removing the battery is to first remove
the screws securing the bracket holding
the battery connector in place and once
you get that off you can disconnect the
battery from the logic board with a flat
end of your spudger next we need to
remove the adhesive strips that hold the
battery in place the adhesive strips
have a tab that can be lifted up by
using some tweezers
once you've lifted both tabs
successfully carefully pull the
innermost tabs straight up making sure
to keep it flat and not twisted with the
first one done pull the second tab up
and around the corner of the battery now
that the adhesive strips have been
removed the battery will lift right out
of the phone for reassembly we recommend
