iPhone 14 Pro Battery Replacement

# Introduction

Apple battery pricing estimation tool here.

This was the price given:

I thought I could do a mediocre job and come out with some new tools.

# Parts and tools purchased

Parts Cost
iPhone 14 Pro battery $35
RELIFE 601SL Plus Multifunctional LCD Screen Separator $50

Total cost: $85

Which is still much cheaper compared the Apple’s offering. The only thing I lose is a genuine battery. It’s hard finding a good quality battery given all the listings out there. I think I found one that is reliable. I’ll have to give it some time before I can conclude anything.

# Process

## Removing screen from iPhone housing

## Removing Taptic engine, speaker, battery and cleaning adhesive around iPhone housing

## Installing new battery

## Running Apple’s parts pairing with aftermarket battery

# Notes to self

  • Wear gloves - everything inside (metal brackets/black coatings) do not like finger oils. They will stick on and is incredibly hard to clean.
  • Do not scrub the black coating with IPA. It will remove the coating.
  • Use a flat blade or screwdriver to remove screen adhesive surround the housing. Becareful of the grounding pins.
