How to replace iPhone X battery

The iPhone X was released in November 2017 and features an L-shaped, dual-cell battery, which is considered unusual for a smartphone. The battery has a capacity of 2716 mAh and is made of lithium-ion technology, which allows it to charge faster than older generations of batteries. The battery life of the iPhone X can vary depending on usage, but Apple claims it can last up to 21 hours of talk time or up to 13 hours of internet use.

Steps to replace your iPhone X battery

If you notice that your iPhone X battery is not holding a charge as well as it used to, it may be time to replace the battery. Here are the steps to replace your iPhone X battery:

1. Back up your iPhone X: Before you start the battery replacement process, it is important to back up your iPhone X. This will ensure that you do not lose any important data during the battery replacement process.
2. Gather the necessary tools: To replace your iPhone X battery, you will need a Phillips screwdriver, a Y-type screwdriver, a pick, and a suction cup.
3. Remove the bottom screws: Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws located on either side of the iPhone X lightning port.
4. Detach the screen: Place the suction cup on the lower part of the screen and pull up to create a small gap. Use the pick to separate the adhesive and detach the screen.
5. Remove the screen: Lift the screen up and to the left to detach it from the iPhone X body.
6. Remove the battery connector bracket: Use the Y-type screwdriver to remove the three screws that hold the battery connector bracket in place. Remove the bracket.
7. Disconnect the battery: Use the pick to disconnect the battery connector from the iPhone X logic board.
8. Remove the adhesive strips: Use the pick to remove the adhesive strips that hold the battery in place.
9. Remove the battery: Use the pick to gently pry the battery up and remove it from the iPhone X.
10. Install the new battery: Install the new battery by following the above steps in reverse order.
11. Calibrate the new battery: After installing the new battery, it is important to calibrate it. To do this, charge the iPhone X to 100%, then use it until it completely runs out of charge. Charge it back up to 100% and repeat this process at least one more time.

If you do not have enough technical knowledge to perform the above procedure, we recommend that you do not partake. NB: YOU PARTAKE IN, AT YOU OWN RISK.

If you are not comfortable replacing your iPhone X battery yourself, you can take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or an Apple Store to have it replaced
