Removal

  1. Place the enclosure in the repair tray with the USB-C connector facing the cutout.

    • Note: Three adhesive strips underneath the battery adhere it to the enclosure.

  2. Hold down the iPhone. Use ESD-safe tweezers to grasp either bottom battery adhesive tab. Gently peel the adhesive tab away from the battery (1).

    • Warning: Don’t scrape or puncture the battery with the tweezers.

    • Important: Peel the adhesive tab completely from the battery before twisting it around the tweezers.

  3. Keep the tweezers close and parallel to the battery. Twist the tab around the tweezers until you see the white adhesive strip on the tweezers (2).

    • Important: Don’t pull the tweezers until the white adhesive is wrapped around them.

  4. Pull the tweezers toward the bottom of the iPhone (3). Continue to twist the adhesive strip until you’ve removed the entire strip.

    • Caution: Don’t pull the adhesive strips against parts or screws.

    • Important: If the battery adhesive tab or strip breaks off and you can still see it, attempt to retrieve it with the tweezers. Wrap the tab or strip around the tweezers and repeat step 3 and 4. If you can’t see the tab or strip, continue to the next step.

  5. Repeat the steps 2 through 4 with the other bottom adhesive tab.

    • Important: If the battery adhesive tab or strip breaks off and you can still see it, attempt to retrieve it with the tweezers. Wrap the tab or strip around the tweezers and repeat steps 3 and 4. If you can’t see the tab or strip, continue to step 6.

  6. Rotate the repair tray. Hold down the iPhone. Then use ESD-safe tweezers to gently peel the battery adhesive tab from the top of the battery (1).

  7. Twist the tweezers to wrap the adhesive tab around them (2).

    • Important: Hold the tweezers close and parallel to the battery as you twist.

  8. Keep the tweezers close to the channel between the battery and the camera. Continue to slowly twist the adhesive until you’ve removed the entire strip (3).

    • Caution: Avoid touching the TrueDepth camera or nearby parts.

    • Important: If the battery adhesive tab or strip breaks off and you can still see it, attempt to retrieve it with the tweezers. Wrap the tab or strip around the tweezers and repeat steps 7 and 8. If you can’t see the tab or strip, continue to step 9.

  9. If all three battery adhesive strips were fully removed, skip to step 11. If at least one strip was fully removed, continue to step 10.

    • Warning: If all three strips were broken and can’t be retrieved, don’t forcibly pry the battery. Stop the repair. You can find a service option at support.apple.com/repair.

  10. Insert the flat end of the black stick only into one of the insertion points as shown. Ensure that the black stick is inserted into a point where the battery strip has been fully removed. Don’t insert the black stick into a point where the battery tab or strip is broken.

    • Caution: When using the black stick to remove the battery from the enclosure, don’t damage the flex cables. Don’t scrape, rip, tear, or otherwise damage the polyester film or other outlined areas. If damage occurs, replace the iPhone.

  11. Slightly lift the battery with the black stick just enough to grasp underneath the battery.

    • Caution: To avoid damage, don’t press the black stick on the edge of the enclosure as you lift the battery.

  12. Lift the battery from the top to avoid damaging the wireless charging module. Remove the battery from the enclosure. Then inspect the enclosure for damage. If the enclosure is damaged, replace the iPhone.
