Title
iPhone X, XS, and XS Max Battery Adhesive Strips Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to correctly apply replacement battery adhesive strips for “L-shaped" iPhone batteries, including the dual-cell batteries in iPhone X and XS Max, and the single-cell battery in iPhone XS. Anytime 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. 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:
* [guide|103390|iPhone X Battery Replacement]
* [guide|117346|iPhone XS Battery Replacement]
* [guide|117345|iPhone XS Max Battery Replacement]
To replace the battery adhesive strips in a different model iPhone, use one of the following guides:
