| + | [* black] Use the clear plastic pull tab to gently lift the battery out of the iPhone. It is held in place by adhesive along the edges of the side facing away from you. |
| + | [* black] Be careful when removing the battery with the plastic pull tab. On some units, Apple uses an excessive amount of adhesive, making it virtually impossible to remove the battery in this fashion (with the tab possibly tearing due to excessive force). |
| [* black] For batteries that "stick", you could use the iPod opening tool to assist (take extra care whilst doing so). | |
| [* black] Remove the battery. | |
| [* icon_note] Before reconnecting the battery connector, be sure the pressure contact (shown in red) is properly positioned next to the battery connector. | |
| + | [* black] The cable between the battery and the connector may seem to be too long. Instead of extending straight out from the side of the battery, you need to bow it inwards towards the case. Refer to the battery you just removed for an example. It may help to attach the connector first, then (carefully) bow the cable as you put the battery into its proper place. |
| [* icon_caution] Before reassembly, be sure to clean all metal-to-metal contact points on the pressure contact as well as its contact point on the rear panel with a de-greaser such as windex. The oils on your fingers have the potential to cause wireless interference issues. |
