Be extra careful of the area near he power button, where the trim is thin and delicate and may break easily (especially if you’re trying to separate the silver from the black ;)

Once the battery is separated for enough from the phone, use your hands to fully remove the battery, using the wide end of the spudger to scrape off adhesive where necessary.
It would be nice to know if you needed to heat it up how you are suppose to do that. There are no instructions for that.
