How fuckup-proof is replacing your own iPhone battery? - Lemmy.World

I’d love to replace it but it would be a big problem if it didnt turn out well. How “self-repairable” is replacing your own iPhone battery?

Apple and ifixit have complete guides for take apart and replacement on their websites.

My recommendation is to buy a real Apple battery if you’re going to do this. Lithium ion batteries from shady sources are a good way to ruin your phone or worse, start a fire.

Apple actually offers a flat rate battery replacement for recent iPhones and in my opinion it is worth the money.
