Apple has locked down the iPhone battery, which means that once it can’t hold a charge, you need to send it in. If you’d rather just buy your own battery and replace it yourself, we’ve got your hookup. Nate and I got together to film this this tutorial, which shows how to replace your iPhone battery. Heck, even if you have decided that you will never open up your iPhone on your own, we think it’s still pretty cool to see the process - so just hit play, okay?
Oh, and just to be sure we’re all clear, we take absolutely no responsibility if you try and replicate what you see in our video and end up bricking or damaging your phone. Okay, happy viewing!

You can avoid any problems with shorting out the wires by desoldering the ground wire first.
Alternatively, as the new battery seems to be supplied with wires, just snip the old wires from the old battery and then desolder them from the phone.

umm… Correct me if I’m wrong but the iPhone did not work properly after the battery was replaced.

Considering that the iPhone battery lasts longer and holds a longer charge than most every phone on the planet, and that the whole battery “issue” was way overblown, I’m not sure many people will get much from this video.
Never mind the fact that your iPhone didn’t work properly after installation…
Also, I wouldn’t take advice from someone who thinks that 100 degrees Celsius is 600 degrees Fahrenheit. You’re only off by a couple hundred there buddy.

For starters, 300 Degrees C is 572 Degrees F, so our friend above is bashing others to make himself feel better without realizing that he is very wrong, himself.
Secondly, if you haven’t screwed your phone’s warranty by unlocking it, just take it to an apple store or mail it off. The Apple store will give it back to you right away and if you have to mail it off, just throw your SIM in an old phone (borrow one from a friend if you switched from Verizon, etc.)
It’s fantastic you can replace your battery for under $30. I got my AppleCare off of ebay for $50, so I’ll worry about spending $30 after my battery was replaced a couple of times for me under my 2 year coverage.

Buy some lights and leave the iPhone alone.

Nate....true. I love it

Just wanted to see if this message board is filtered for offensive lanquage like #### #### ##### DICK CUNT BASTARD AND OF COURSE making love.

Since you’re not re-using the wires, why don’t you just cut them before unsoldering? Then you don’t have to worry about shorting the battery.

Love the comments guys - as Danny Elfman said, “now is that gratitude?” I hope this video is still around when my battery needs replacing. Just one note to improve the process:
Shouldn’t he remove the black and white wires first since one of those is ground? Your risk of shorting the battery is greatly reduced if done in this order since you then only have to prevent the wires from touching each other - much less likely than preventing the hot wire from contacting any part of the phone while still grounded.

why not discharge the phone to reduce the risk of shock/discharge!?!

why the hell didn´t you take another surface...i would kill you if this was my iphone .. and you rubbing it over them tiles… omg
but else.. good work :D

Nice video. Do you plan on making one for the iPod touch? Thanks.
link to this comment
Ok this video was pointless because in it you did it on tile and stated “this is probably better if you do it with you’re 2nd iphone so in case it breaks you have a backup” oh yeah because alot of people walk around with backup iphones hmmm...not hell to be honest i couldn’t afford one but i was lucky enough to find one! so yep i won’t be buying a “backup” one and 2nd it didn’t even work after you replaced it wow you can still use it for notes and the notes were comming out even all ragedy when time comes for me to replace it I won’t do it myself because not even you guys could do it you’reselves and you’re the “experts” STOP BEING CHEAP PEOPLE! AND LET APPLE OR A 3RD PARTY REPLACE IT! YOU WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR IT!

negativity attracts negativity. negative comments are a wasted energy. if you cant say something nice, better not say anything at all.
Cruel words can make or kill a person’s well being. Be careful on what you write because words have the power to hurt other people’s feelings and if not counseled properly, hatred can cause many saddening problems to the psyche of those you have offended.
nate did something nice that many appreciate. i for one is thankful to you Nate for sharing the video.
My constructive advise is make a new video with the right soft surface and research a bit on the soldering iron’s working temperature.
BTW Nate thank you for iBricker
God bless.

hmm posting again, my first post didn’t seem to work, the url there isn’t my site, it’s ipodjuice.com..
Laura
Wow I’d never break into my iPhone myself! Before I bought mine I checked into my options when the battery wears out and found that ipodjuice.com has added an iPhone battery replacement service. I trust them too, got my new ipod mini battery from them a while back and they are a great company to work with. Yikes, let them do it, don’t break your phone!

It’s good for us people that have bought an iPhone but do not live in the US. I really doubt Apple in Australia are going to replace the battery in an iPhone.
