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.

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.
