Get better than new battery life from an iPhone 7 By Vincent Stevenson

What is up guys Vincent here and in this video we are going to be changing the battery on iPhone, 7, and I'm, recording this on my old iPhone 5, because it's impossible to film a camera, the phone whatever so basically, I went on Amazon and I did about two minutes of research and I found that this battery manufacturer. However, you want to pronounce that gives their product a three year, warranty, which sounds pretty good so and in addition to that weirdly. Somehow these battery manufacturers are having more William hours than the stock iPhone Apple batteries in this phone. So in theory, you might even get better battery life. Switching to this, because there's more William hours available to you, so I'm, going to, unlike other people on YouTube, just use the really cheap stuff that comes in the box and I think I bought this for about fifteen bucks or twenty bucks. I forget but yeah.

First, things first is going to be shutting off the phone and then to do that. Hopefully you know how to turn off an iPhone. By now, after we shut off the phone, then we're going to be unscrewing a few things in the bottom after I get this beautiful case off they just got, and then we are going to be replacing the actual battery and I hope that this is a half-decent. Battery will hold a charge better than this thing does so stay tuned, hey guys so to follow up with this disassembly I and one of those people who broke their iPhone screen in the process of trying to place the battery, which is fantastic. So basically, the issue here is that I had previously broken the screen and I sent it in somewhere to get the screen replaced and while I was taking this screen out, they used a ridiculously strong adhesive right here, and it did break this glass.

So I have a broken phone screen to deal with on top of this, but fortunately I have a backup, iPhone 5 that I'm now going to be using, but anyways trying to stay positive here be doing. Is these screws right? There are things you need to come out, and then we're going to be removing the iPhone 7 battery and placing in a new Chinese battery that hopefully will last a little. So this phone has definitely seen better days and I do now need to replace a screen as well. So with that we are going to keep chugging away at this repair. Okay, and so I have got in the pool tabs.

Now on the battery token off the plates, I've taken off the display connector to let the display completely swimming out and now the pull tabs I think a good technique is probably just to just do this with them and rotate it like, so there's two of them. So there's another one right there pulling off this one right now and then once we get that off we're going to take off the battery connector thing here and then hopefully, this old battery can come out, and we can put in an own good one. Okay, and so now, I have gotten the battery mounts, which was tricky. This was the little connector on it, and I did need to pry up kind of hard on this thing, because I got one of the mounts successfully, but the other one was still on there. So I just pulled up on the battery may have slightly bent the aluminum here, hopefully not too badly, but now that we have the old battery on this job is actually harder than I thought.

But anyways we're going to see you put in the new battery and the new battery. They give some new pull tabs if I really wanted to have adhesive inside my iPhone to hold down the battery. But to be honest at this point, I don't really know. If that's what I want. Also, you can see here that the battery is kind of dented or slightly because I was pulling up on it to get it out.

I know this is dangerous, and so you should dispose of this properly. So I'll just set that aside very carefully, and I'm going to put in the new battery now and put this phone back together and pray that it actually turns on. So we will see how things are looking okay, and so we are almost done putting this all back together. I am just putting a screen back in with the cover that goes over all these ribbon cables. This is a very tiny try ring screwdriver that is pretty difficult to work with, but what I do find helps.

The only have two hands like me is to kind of hold the screen in one place by putting your iPhone against I, don't know, maybe a cardboard box like this. That way, it should be a lot simpler and now is the moment of truth, where I will plug in this iPhone. That is now been cracked in the process of trying to place the battery I'm going to see if it powers on, and I'm, probably along, because I bet you they have. Oh okay, so cool you've got a life with a new battery on our iPhone, and so now, I'm going to put this all back together and for a new screen to get this thing fixed. Your hope that this is now a good working phone.

Okay, a very point, important point to make when you are putting an iPhone screen in or taking it out- and this was the mistake that I made in this video is that I did not as I was taking this screen out, move it down slightly as in this way, and you just need a few millimeters. But if you notice here there are some plastic tabs that you can barely see that are on the underside of this, and so, if you don't move your iPhone screen down this way, you know keep prying up on it from here. You will crack your screen, just like I did right there. So that is a very important lesson to take away from the mistake that I made here so as I'm putting this back together, I just realized the mistake I made taking it apart. This is my own iPhone, so I'm not too terribly concerned, but yeah to avoid making mistakes that I make you put in you slip on the top part.

You let the plastic slip underneath like that. This should be flush like that, but before you begin pressing down on this, and so when you're taking it apart, the trick is to first lift it up very slightly on the left side of the iPhone and then once you've gotten it up. Then you pull the screen down to release the little levers, the plastic hinges or hooks at the top of the screen, and now this thing should clip back in. So that is the mistake I made, and so do you remember that this is a note to future self as well. So what this helps, and thanks for watching.
