How to replace the battery in an iPhone 5 (plus 5C or 5S)
Step 1. Turn off your phone by holding down the power button, then sliding the on-screen button to the right.
Step 2. Use your Pentalobe screwdriver to remove the two screws on the bottom edge of your iPhone. Keep all screws somewhere safe, as they're extremely easy to lose if left loose on your work area.

Step 3. Using the suction cup, apply strong (but not sudden) force just above the home button, or to either side of it. You need to open up a small gap so you can begin to pry the screen open. NOTE: if you have an iPhone 5S be extremely careful at this stage. The TouchID cable connects to the bottom half of the phone and is easily damaged if you pull the screen up too far.How to replace iPhone battery
Step 4. Using the pry tool, work your way from the bottom to the middle of each side to release the clips holding the screen to the phone.

Step 5: You can replace the battery without disconnecting the screen from the phone, but you'll have to hold it carefully at 90 degrees throughout. If you do want to remove the screen, use your Philips 00 screwdriver to remove the metal plate securing the screen's cables to the phone. Then, carefully pry up each connector and remove the screen.

Step 6: Remove the two screws from the metal plate which secures the battery contacts to the motherboard. Each model differs slightly, but they are in the same positions as shown on our iPhone 5 here. The plate remained stuck to the battery connector when we swapped our battery, but it's easy to pry off.

Step 7: Try pulling on the plastic battery release tab to unstick the battery from the case. Usually this will not work as the glue is too sticky. Again, constant pressure is the key, and you should hear the battery slowly unsticking. Our preferred method is to use the pry tool very carefully against the motherboard to ease it up, but there is a risk you could damage a component on the board, so don't apply too much pressure.How to replace iPhone battery
Step 8: With the battery out, carefully align the new one, ensuring the cable is routed and bent so the connector is lined up with the motherboard. Gently press it into place and screw the metal plate down to secure it.
Step 9: If you removed the screen entirely, reconnect the cables - they should positively click back into place - and then replace the metal plate, inserting the lugs first.
Step 10: Hook the top edge of the screen into the body of the iPhone and make sure it isn't protruding by more than half a millimetre. If it is, you haven't seated it properly. Then, gently press the screen down working your way from the top to the bottom. The clips should click into place and you should have no resistance when replacing the two Pentalobe screws.
Step 11: If your phone won't turn on, don't panic: it's likely the battery was sent fully discharged for safety, so connect your charger and wait for the phone to turn on.
How to replace the battery in an iPhone 4 or 4S
The only other thing you'll need is a screwdriver. Some iPhone 4 models have standard Philips 00 screws, so a Philips 00 screwdriver is all you'll need. If you find your iPhone has five-pointed star screws, you'll need to buy a 'Pentalobe' screwdriver - again, these are cheapest from eBay - to remove them.
1. Turn your phone off by holding the power button for a few seconds until the red slider appears. Slide it to power the phone off.

3. Slide the rear cover upwards by a few millimetres and lift it off. If it's stuck press the palm of your hand against the entire back panel to get the maximum friction.
4. Remove the single Philips screw which secures the battery connector to the motherboard. If you have a 4S (shown below), there are two screws which need to be removed.

5. Use a plastic pry tool to carefully lift the connector up from the top and bottom edges. Note that on the iPhone 4 there's a black contact clip below the connector which the screw threads through. You can carefully remove this or leave it in place. Take note of how it fits, so you can replace it if it falls out.

6. Use the clear plastic tab to pull the battery up and out of the phone. The battery is glued into place, and will require considerable force on the tab to lift it. Pull the tab with progressively more force, and use a pry tool carefully against the motherboard if necessary to help release it.Battery plastic tab
7. Before fitting the new battery, make sure the contact clip is properly positioned. The iPhone 4 clip is shown below, and fits in this orientation. Press the battery connector into place, and tighten the screw to secure it.

8. Replace the rear cover and two screws to secure it in place. Connect your mains charger to initially charge the new battery.
Step 1 — Display Assembly
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.
This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.
Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

Step 2
Before disassembling your iPhone, be sure it is powered off.
Remove the two 3.6 mm Pentalobe screws next to the Lightning connector.

Step 3In the following steps you will be pulling the display up out of the phone body. The display is composed of a glass screen and a plastic bezel with metal clips.
Regardless of the tool you use, you need to be sure you pull up the entire display.
If the glass begins to separate from the plastic, as shown in the first image, slide a plastic opening tool between the plastic frame and the metal phone body to pry the metal clips out of the case.
If you are reassembling a phone with a separated display bezel, you may want to place a thin strip of adhesive between the plastic bezel and the glass to keep the phone closed.
Step 4 — iSclack Opening Procedure
The next two steps demonstrate using the iSclack, a great tool for safely opening the iPhone 5 that we recommend for anyone doing more than one repair. If you aren't using the iSclack, skip to step 5.
Close the handle on the iSclack, opening the suction-cup jaws.
Place the bottom of your iPhone in between the suction cups, against the plastic depth gauge.
The top suction cup should rest just above the home button.
Open the handles to close the jaws of the iSclack. Center the suction cups and press them firmly onto the top and bottom of the iPhone.
Step 5
Hold onto your iPhone securely and close the handle of the iSclack to separate the suction cups, pulling the front panel up from the rear case.
The iSclack is designed to safely open your iPhone just enough to separate the pieces, but not enough to damage the home button cable.
Peel the two suction cups off your iPhone.
Skip the next three steps and continue on step 7.

Step 6
Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.
Be sure the cup is completely on the screen to get a tight seal.
If you're opening an iPhone with cracked glass, neatly lay a couple strips of packing tape across the front and squeeze out as many bubbles as you can. This will give the suction cup a surface to grab, and minimize the spread of broken glass.

Step 7Make sure the suction cup is firmly attached to the front panel assembly.
While holding the iPhone down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the front panel assembly from the rear case.
Take your time and apply firm, constant force. The display assembly is a much tighter fit than most devices.
With a plastic opening tool, begin to gently pry the rear case down, away from the display assembly, while you pull up with the suction cup.
There are several clips attaching the front panel assembly to the rear case, so you may need to use a combination of the suction cup and plastic opening tool to free the front panel assembly.
Step 8
Continue to pry up around the sides of the front panel assembly, detaching the clips along the left and right side.
Step 9
Do not try to completely remove the front panel assembly from the rear case, as there are several ribbon cables still attached at the top of the iPhone.
Once the clips have been released on the bottom and sides of the front panel assembly, pull the bottom of the assembly away from the rear case.
Open the display to about a 90ยบ angle, and lean it against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.
Add a rubber band to keep the display securely in place while you work. This prevents undue strain on the display cables.
