Introduction |
| Use this guide to correctly apply replacement battery adhesive strips in your iPhone 8 or 8 Plus. (For earlier iPhone models, [https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+Battery+Adhesive+Strips+Replacement/56465|refer to this guide instead].) Any time you remove the battery, these strips must be replaced. The strips are easily damaged if not applied correctly, so you may want to have a spare set of strips on hand if following this guide for the first time. | | | These adhesive strips are different from those in prior-generation iPhones due to the presence of the wireless charging coil in the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. The coil lies directly underneath the battery, which is secured with four adhesive strips that are contoured around the coil to avoid damaging it. | | | Before you begin, you should have removed the battery by following a guide like the ones linked below: | | | * [https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+8+Battery+Replacement/101279|iPhone 8 Battery Replacement] | | * [https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+8+Plus+Battery+Replacement/98260|iPhone 8 Plus Battery Replacement] |
