| Use this guide to correctly apply replacement battery adhesive strips in many late-model iPhones. 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. |
|
| The larger iPhone "Plus" models use three strips instead of two, but the procedure is the same. |
|
| Before you begin, you should have removed the battery by following a guide like the ones linked below. Note: iPhone 5 and earlier models do not use any adhesive strips. |
