iPhone XS Battery Replacement
Introdução
Vá para o passo 1iPhone batteries are rated to hold 80% of their capacity for up to 500 charge cycles, which lasts roughly 18-24 months for most users. After that, your iPhone may need to be charged far more frequently, and iOS may warn you that performance is affected (in other words, your phone will run slower). Use this guide to replace your battery and restore your iPhone to like-new performance.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Note: After the repair, your iPhone may display a warning about the “genuineness” of the battery, even when using original Apple parts. If your iPhone functions normally, you can safely ignore the warning.
For optimal performance, after completing this guide, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least two more hours. Then use your iPhone until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.

Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 6.9 mm-long pentalobe screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
-
-
Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
Got to step 2 and realized the fix kit doesn't include an opening pick! Looks like a guitar pick, and I have those lying around. Is that expected? Looks like the pick is used in many steps below. There's a little blue crowbar that isn't mentioned in the instructions. Perhaps that replaces the opening pick?
Hi! I can't see which guide you were using when writing this comment. Can you reply here with which guide and fix kit you used?
I see you posted this in Meta. I hope it's resolved soon! In the meantime, a guitar pick may work well enough for your repair.
what fix kit?
My fix kit didn't include an opening pick either
My AliExpress refurbished screen came with a pick that has a coin-like circle that pops out, so no modification was necessary
It's not an Ifixit KIT if it doesn't include everything. You'll need to order the opening pic separately. Or head to Walmart like myself and look for guitar pics. Hopefully, this will work just as well.
No pick in mine as well. It’s really not clear that you have to order this separately when ordering an IPhone SE 202/2022 screen repair kit. Is this the case?
Frustrated, I ordered a compact package where everything was encapsulated. Useless suction tools could not separate the screen. If it is unable to decouple the screen, then why sucking suction tools you have provided.
For my kit the triangle pick was stuck inside the box with the screen not with the other tools maybe it's also there for you
Y’all are getting far, FAR too detailed with some of this stuff…. Measuring and marking the pick that you won’t actually use to open the device?!? lol that’s kinda funny. Just heat it up, grab a spudger, and the back just pops right off! The iFixit tech need to stick to the KISS method more often, you know KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!! Like l, for reals, I’ve been doing this stuff for YEARS and using iFixit guides regularly and this is just ridiculous at this point!
Will the phone still work if the sensor assembly on the back of the screen is damaged?

-
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's screen until the whole face is covered.
-
If you can't get the suction cup to stick in the next few steps, fold a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lift the screen with that instead.

-
Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.
-
Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Heat an iOpener and thread it through the arms of the Anti-Clamp.
-
Fold the iOpener so it lays on the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap under the screen and the plastic bezel, not the screen itself.
-
Skip the next three steps.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the front panel and rear case.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap under the screen and the plastic bezel, not the screen itself.
It seems like I need a third hand to do this. To hold the phone; hold the suction cup; and push the pick in the space.
-
-
-
Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.
-
Lean the display against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.

Remove five screws securing the logic board connector bracket, of the following lengths:
-
Three 1.0 mm Y000 screws
-
One 1.3 mm Y000 screw
-
One 3.7 mm Phillips screw
FYI: I used a tiny piece of scotch tape to hold those 1mm screws in place while aligning the magnetic screwdriver. Otherwise they are so tiny the magnetic bit pulls them right out the hole.
-
-
-
-
Use a spudger or a fingernail to pry up and disconnect the front panel sensor assembly connector.
In my phone the connector made poor contact with the socket resulting in no sound audible through the phone receiver/headset. There was an overhang of insulation close to the socket which I believe may have prevented a good connection. So if you have these kinds of audio problems you might see if this is the problem.

-
-
Use a spudger or fingernail to pry the digitizer cable connector up from its socket.
Reassembly: reconnecting the press connectors upon reassembly was so hard, even for the ones not seated in a recessed location !! It took me two days to get them reconnected. What helped me was to shine bright lights on all sides of the iPhone and then hold the iPhone vertically like a book and press it in that way. They are now all in, but the touchscreen functionality has disappeared :( so I will need to reconnect that one.

-
-
Carefully lift the cable until the adhesive separates.
Will replacing camera and sensors fix damaged face I'd
No, FaceID will be disabled because the original sensors are paired with the logic board.

Remove the five screws securing the two brackets below the Taptic Engine and main speaker:
-
One 1.0 mm tri-point Y000 screw
-
Two 1.3 mm Phillips screws
-
One 1.7 mm Phillips screw
-
One 1.8 mm Phillips screw
Bonjour,
Plus pratique avec une Y000. Dans mon cas c’était impossible en Y00.
Bonne journée. :)
got stuck on the 1.8 mm screw and had to abort. The Phillips head provided “PH000” didn’t quite fit and stripped the screw.
I ended up skipping this step through 32. It’s not necessary to take the speaker and taptic thing off. I just used the thin black spudger flat edge and pried under the battery on the L-shaped edge and dislodged the adhesive and then did the same on the top edge. You will end up bending the old battery but that’s ok—just don’t poke it. keep poking the flat edge of the spudger in there kind of like a knife to break the adhesive. once you get at least two spots of the adhesive pulled, the rest comes up quite easily when you lift the whole battery.
I agree with R.J. The bracket screws are minute. They are much easier to remove than to put back. Avoid taking them out if you can.

Remove the speaker.
I thought my speaker gasket was also missing, however looking back into the part box I found it tucked under the flap at the other (unopened) side of the box. Glad I took a second (and closer) look. IFIXIT needs to do a better job securing very small parts as it is very easy for these types of parts to get jostled during shipping and then could fall out or stuck in the box unnoticed. I've purchased iFixit products for more than 10 years and am super satisfied their quality in parts and provided instructions. Hopefully they'll make some adjustments to their shipping containers as I'd love to continue using them.
My speaker gasket was stuck to the inside of the box also. Unfortunately it has the back peal removed and has stuck itself to the cardboard box. I tried to remove it but it was firmly attached. Bummer. This is my first iFixIt. Please package it more carefully as the other person said.
I can't find mine in the part box. Is it possible it was excluded?
It might have fallen out. Search in the crevasses of the box. If you still cannot find it contact iFixit.
Update to last comment, I looked again at the listing for the battery with and without the "fix it kit". I ordered without, and apparently, the speaker gasket is part of the kit. Will need to order separately and take the phone apart again and replace the seal and battery adhesive again to install the gasket.
It's kind of ridiculous that the gasket is ONLY included with the kit, that includes a bunch of tools that I already have too many of (yes, I've bought several screen kits...). The fact is, to properly do the repair, you require the gasket. As such, it really should be included with the battery part and not only sold with the entire kit. Most of us do not need yet a nother suction cup, more screwdrivers (ok, maybe the bits), etc. My first few orders, I bought the kit because the extra cost gave me more bits, handle, spudgers (always need more), etc. However, I didn't need any of those for this repair so I opted for only the part - the battery.
I am so irked that I have to redo this again just because ifixit put the gasket with the kit and not the part that requires it. It's not even highlighted AT ALL that the gasket is required and not included. I'll have to find a way to bring this up to ifixit.

Use a spudger to disconnect the Taptic Engine flex cable by prying it straight up from its socket.
-

-
Remove the Taptic Engine assembly.
Where's the rest??? Help!

Each piece of adhesive has a black pull-tab at the end, which is lightly adhered to the side edge of the battery.
-
-
-
Separate the first battery adhesive tab from the bottom edge of the battery.
The adhesive we're meant to pull is affixed to another layer of heavier material affixed to the battery. Be sure to peel only the first layer.
-
-
-
Repeat the above step to separate the remaining two adhesive tabs from the bottom edge of the battery.
The tabs are stuck on with the same glue that is holding the battery down. It is fairly strong but will come off with some patience and consistent progress.
Despite the photo, I do NOT suggest using the tweezers for this but the black plastic spudger that comes with the kit. I say this after having the tweezers lose grip and slide across the bottom black ribbon attached to the case. If you must use the tweezers because of the strength of the glue, use a downward force into the case bottom, not an outward force. That way, you will not have the same happen to you…
Here is hoping the slight scratch did not damage anything vital…

To increase your odds of success:
-
Don't press down on the battery. Hold the iPhone firmly by its sides.
-
Keep the strips flat and unwrinkled as you pull.
-
Pull very slowly, giving the strip time to stretch and separate. It takes around 15-30 seconds of stretching to remove each strip.
-
Pull at a low angle so the strip doesn't snag along the bottom edge of the battery.
-
If a strip does break off underneath the battery and cannot be retrieved, move on to the other strips and then continue with the additional steps below.
Pour cette étape, vous pouvez saisir les bandes adhésives avec une pince à bouts ronds (pour éviter de percer la batterie) et l’enrouler petit à petit.

-
Grab one of the outer battery adhesive tabs and slowly pull it away from the battery, toward the bottom of the iPhone.
-
Pull steadily, maintaining constant tension on the strip until it slips out from between the battery and the rear case.
-
-
-
If any of the adhesive strips broke off and the battery remains stuck to the rear case, remove it by adding a few drops of isopropyl alcohol (90% or greater) underneath the battery near the stuck strip(s).
-
After about a minute, gently lift the battery.
It's mentioned elsewhere, but it is worth emphasizing that when using the alternative method of dissolving the adhesive with isopropyl alcohol, it is important to exercise great caution when prying under the battery. My spudger got away from me due to my impatience, and I accidentally bent and slightly severed the ribbon connector underneath, rendering my volume buttons and muting switch inoperable.
-
-
-
If any of the adhesive strips broke off and the battery remains stuck to the rear case, prepare an iOpener or use a hair dryer to heat the rear case directly behind the battery.
-
Flip the iPhone back over and thread a strong piece of string (such as dental floss or a length of thin guitar string) underneath the battery.
-
Pull the string from side to side in a sawing motion to separate the adhesive. This can take some time since the adhesive is slow to deform, but with patience it will come free. Do not deform or damage the battery.
-
Start from the top or bottom edge of the battery, and pull toward the middle. Don't pull the string through the middle third of the battery, or you may damage the ribbon cables or the wireless charging coil directly underneath.
I didn't have any of the alcholol, so came in straight here. Can't over stress the need for patience, but once I put the phone on my microwaved sock of rice (that's how we roll) and started to gently saw away with the floss - it all came good.
-
-
-
Grasp the battery from the bottom edge and remove it from the iPhone.
-
Adhere the battery, disconnect it, and continue reassembling your device.
For those that plan to proceed with the hack that eliminates the “battery is not genuine” message and no battery health information (requires extra tools that most don’t have), be careful not to bend the original battery’s flex cable too much. I found out the hard way that the flex cable doesn’t really “flex” much and ended up snapping in half when trying to hook it up to a programmer. So much for trying to do the hack :(
How do I force restart and calibrate the battery at the same time?

i don’t know what happened but now my iphone xs will only boot into recovery mode and there is nothing showing up on the display. i have double triple quadruple checked and dont know what my issue is. any feedback on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
My iPhone has been turned off completely for the past few weeks, I have tried to hard restart it but nothing seems to work. It has a black screen and isn’t responding to anything. Nothing has ever been wrong with the phone it just shut down one day and hasn’t restarted since. Do you have a suggestion to get my phone working again?
Anyone have an issue where the phone won’t charge after replacing the battery/
Yes, I cant figure out why. I wonder if because its not the original battery, it wont let the new one charge? Idk.

It is possible the you went to deep with the plectrum, knocking of a capacitor from the logic board. I think it’s best you take it to a really good repair shop where the owner has expert solder skills to replace it.
Good luck
I ended up skipping steps 20-32. The kit didn’t come with the right screwdriver top and I realized it’s not necessary to take the speaker and taptic thing off.
I just used the thin black spudger flat edge and pried under the battery on the L-shaped edge and dislodged the adhesive and then did the same on the top edge. You will end up bending the old battery but that’s ok—just don’t poke it. keep poking the flat edge of the spudger in there kind of like a knife to break the adhesive. once you get at least two spots of the adhesive pulled, the rest comes up quite easily when you lift the whole battery.
Hey, after changing the battery the volume and silent buttons stopped working. There is no apparent reason as why they would, what could it be and can it be fixed before I close the phone ??
you've likely damaged the volume flex cable that lies under the battery, it is very thin and easily damaged. unfortunately pull tabs rarely work as intended. alcohol is the best method for loosening adhesive.
I skipped removing the taptic engine and speaker because I knew I was going to break the adhesive strips when pulling as they break very easily. Just dripped some alcohol, waited 10 minutes and with a bit of force the battery came right off without even bending. Makes the process much quicker although that’s not the intended way of removal.
Ive got a metal protection plate of some sort in-between the screen and the battery around the inside perimeter of the phone. it is blocking access to most of the bottom screws. and does look like it pulls out. might be fixed at the bottom or sides.
anyone found one of these plates in their attempts? might have been placed by a repairer at some point
that is the display frame you have damaged it and you will need to replace the display because the display has its own frame and that frame holds it in place.
My phone's touch screen and camera were unresponsive after reassembly. I prised it all apart and checked all the connections 3 times unfortunately ruining the glue around the edge and then after Googling found a Forced Restart cleared the problem. Press and release volume up button then the volume down button then hold and keep holding the on off button on the right until the apple appeared. And hey presto it all worked!!! I'm well chuffed as I'm a 64 year old 'girl' with no experience of this sort of thing but am pretty competant with practical things - I thought 'how difficult can it be?' Not too difficult, except for removing the adhesive from behind the battery (should have read the detailed instructions properly) which I eventually did with some Isopropyl alcohol following the further instructions.
My top tip! I found putting all the screws on a bit of 'blue tac' kept them safe and in order.
Very tricky indeed but thankfully I managed to replace battery and screen and it worked 😊
After the change of battery the lower speaker has stopped to work. The battery it's ok and works fine but i have only speaker working right now.
I have tried to connect and disconnect it, with and without the battery connected but nothing. I don't thing that the speaker is dameged, but maybe the connector? What i can verify?
After replacing battery, I am getting ghost typing and activity on the touchscreen without touching it. And the phone is hot. What did I do wrong? Replaced a battery in my iPhone 6s prior to trying battery replacement on the XS, thought I would have equal success, not! Also noted the warning about the genuineness of the new battery, don't mind that but I also lost the health of the battery status; was that supposed to happen?
Friendly Suggestion: would have purchased the full fix kit had I know I would need to replace the adhesive gasket during reassembly. Having purchased many kits before, I have all the tools. When looking at the photo, it didn't seem to include anything other than the battery, so I just ordered the battery. Missed the tiny adhesive gasket! Might want to highlight items like that so when people order, they don't make a similar mistake.
Der Original Akku ist codiert. Egal, ob man einen zweiten Apple Original Akku oder einen neuen Fremdakku einbaut erscheint bereits in den Einstellungen eine "Wichtige Batterienachricht" mit einem roten Punkt. "Unbekanntes Bauteil" und die "Informationen zum Batteriezustand" sind nicht verfügbar. Diese Nachricht verbleibt immer und nervt auf Dauer immens.
Der Akku muss angelernt werden und dieses können von jetzt an nur authorisierte Apple Servicebetriebe und diesen ist es durch Apple verboten die notwendige Info weiterzugeben.
Dies ist nicht zu verwechseln mit der bereits bekannten Rekalibrierung seit iOS 14.5.
Seit dieser neuen Codierung kostet der Akkutausch bei Apple auch nicht mehr 75 € sondern aktuell 99 € (Stand Novmber 2023 in Deutschland).
Damit sind künftig alle nicht authorisierten Servicebetriebe raus - denn wer will schon dauernd diese Mitteilung auf dem Bildschirm haben?
Überlegt vorher, ob unter diesen Bedingungen ein eigener Akkutausch noch sinnvoll ist .....
