The coil's location directly under the battery requires specialized strip placement.Damage to the coil can occur if the adhesive strips are not properly applied.The four adhesive strips provide secure battery retention.Contouring around the coil prevents interference with wireless charging functionality.Careful adherence to these instructions is crucial for a successful repair.A thorough review of the linked battery removal guide is essential.The compatibility list will confirm if this guide applies to your specific iPhone model.Reusing an existing battery may compromise adhesion and battery performance.Pre-installed adhesive strips ensure optimal battery security and wireless charging functionality.The contoured shape of the strips is specifically designed for the coil's proximity.A backup set of strips allows for correction of any application errors.Damage to the strips can occur through improper handling or stretching.The strips' adhesive properties are critical for battery stability.

The coil's delicate nature requires precise strip placement.Following the linked guides ensures a safe and effective repair process.The rectangular battery shape necessitates a specific adhesive strip design.Wireless charging functionality depends on the correct strip positioning.

Prior models utilized a simpler adhesive strip design without coil considerations.The coil's location necessitates a contoured adhesive strip profile.The four strips work in conjunction to secure the battery and coil assembly.Proper strip application prevents potential damage to the coil and battery.Refer to the linked resources for detailed battery removal procedures.

Step 1 | iPhone Battery Adhesive Strips

Should the replacement battery already feature affixed adhesive backing, proceed directly to the eighth step of the procedure.
If not, meticulously peel away the substantial blue plastic protective layer covering the adhesive surfaces, then dispose of it appropriately.
Refrain from physical contact with the adhesive material after it is revealed.

Step 2

After the adhesive bonds firmly with the battery surface, separation or adjustment becomes impossible.
Verify the precise positioning of the adhesive strips prior to securing them to the rear of the replacement battery.
Position the two shorter adhesive segments close to the battery cable connector location.
Ensure the strips are centrally located, allowing the two pairs of black tabs to project uniformly from each side of the battery.

Step 3

Securely affix the adhesive strips to the battery's surface using either your fingertips or a pristine cloth.Applying even pressure, ensure the adhesive strips establish a strong bond with the battery.To guarantee proper adhesion, utilize a clean cloth or your fingers to press the strips.A firm, consistent application of pressure is essential when attaching the adhesive strips to the battery.Employing either your fingers or a clean cloth, press the adhesive strips with sufficient force to ensure they adhere to the battery.

Step 4

Carefully invert the battery and remove the two blue plastic liners that protect the adhesive strip terminations.
Dispose of the removed plastic liners.

Step 5

Securely grasp the pink plastic liner near the battery's lower boundary, ensuring it is stretched evenly.
Carefully fold the liner over the battery's surface, applying consistent and substantial pressure.
Allow the liner to detach, verifying that the two black extremities of the adhesive strips are still affixed to the battery's lower edge.

Step 6

To complete the battery's upper edge construction, duplicate the prior procedure, securing the terminations of the remaining two strips.

Step 7

To ensure proper adhesion, detach and dispose of the diminutive, orange-colored protective backing that shields the upper portions of the adhesive strips.The purpose of removing this liner is to expose the adhesive surfaces for secure bonding.This small, orange release liner is not a reusable component and should be discarded after removal.

Step 8

Ensure the extensive, rose-colored protective backing remains attached before positioning the battery within the iPhone's housing.The battery should be placed inside the device while the sizable, pink release liner continues to cover its surface.Prior to installing the battery, maintain the integrity of the large, pink release liner's adherence to the battery's surface, then carefully insert it into the iPhone.

Step 9

Ensure the battery connector is properly positioned, then apply pressure to secure it.

Step 10

Carefully raise the battery upward from its peripheral border, angling it to expose the remaining adhesive backing.The final protective layer is referred to as the release liner.To ensure correct alignment, it is essential to leave the battery physically attached to the main circuit board.
Maintaining this connection prevents unintended displacement during subsequent steps.

Step 11

Detach the adhesive backing, identified as a pink release liner, from the component.Properly discard the detached pink release liner to prevent accidental reapplication or interference.Ensure complete removal of the pink release liner before proceeding with subsequent steps.

Step 12

Carefully position the battery component within the iPhone's internal structure.The battery, a critical power source, must be handled with precision.Ensure the battery is correctly aligned before proceeding with further assembly.Avoid applying excessive force during placement to prevent damage to surrounding parts.Proper battery installation is essential for the iPhone's operational functionality.

Step 13

Ensure the superior and inferior borders of the battery are held securely.The battery component must be positioned.The rear case serves as the contact surface.The adhesive strips require contact to create a bond.Applying pressure facilitates the adhesion process.This action ensures the battery is properly affixed.Proper alignment is critical for secure attachment.

Step 14

To ensure safety and prevent electrical shorts, detach the battery.Proceed with reassembly of the iPhone following this step.The iPhone is the device being repaired.Maintaining electrical isolation by disconnecting the battery is critical.
Electrical damage to delicate internal circuitry can occur if the battery remains connected.Sensitive electronic components are vulnerable to damage from power surges.Protecting these components requires careful attention to electrical safety.Complete disconnection of the battery is essential for preventing component failure.
