Preface
Use the following picture guide to easily change the battery on your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus. You should make a backup of your iPhone before changing the battery and then turn it off.
Step 1: Remove pentalobe screws
Remove the two pentalobe screws on the bottom of the iPhone.
Step 2: Remove display
Carefully lift the screen out of the frame using the suction cup and the thin metal spatula.
Step 3: Remove Display from frame
Carefully slide the metal spudger along the other side to break up the adhesive holding the display in place. Be careful along the top edge of the phone and only loosen the adhesive, as you risk damaging the plastic clips holding the screen in place.
Step 4: Release Metal Cover
Open the screen like you would a book so you are able to reach these these screws securing the metal cover. Note exactly which screw goes where!
Step 5: Remove Connector
Remove the battery connector from the logic board using the plastic spatula.
Step 6: Release Battery
Very carefully pull the black ends of the adhesives stuck to both ends of the battery. Pull them steadily, one by one, with a maximum angle of about 60° and maintain tension until they slips out from under the battery. The strips will lengthen considerably, simply grab them near the battery and continue pulling.
Step 7: Installation of new Battery
Remove all remaining adhesive from the frame. Place two strips of double-sided adhesive tape in the frame to hold the new battery in place and install it into the device. Attach the connector to the logic board.
Step 8: Attach backcover
Reattach the metal cover with these screws.
Step 9: Secure Display
Press the screen into the frame of the device and secure everything with the two pentalobe screws.
