Was looking for this as well. For anybode else, Fixje (a Dutch webshop where you can buy replacement parts) has also made a video on how to replace an iPhone 12 battery. In that video it is explained how to re-install the display adhesive. Keep in mind the video is in Dutch but shows how to re-install it. In that video, at 28:30, the guy starts to apply the adhesive.
I’ve put batteries in I phone 5 and 6 and they were quite straightforward, but this looks like it would try the patience of a Saint. Still going to give it a go when the time comes 👍
I skipped taking out the haptic engine, speaker etc. just took off the plates for the connectors, total of 6 screws not counting the bottom two on the outside
I placed the battery slightly lower than the connector and didn't realize in time, I then followed the rest of the instructions in the video and screwed everything else in place and by the time I had realized my mistake it was too late. Not to worry tho, I ended up straightening the end of the connector and bending it to fit the socket about 16 times, it eventually clicked and I was able to screw on the little plate on and close the phone. I did in fact cry tears of joy when I saw the apple logo appear, Thanks iFixit
I had great trouble when installing one of the standoff screwer back for the taptic engine. I spent like 30 minutes on that single screwer alone. So my advice is if you have isopropyl alcohol to resolve the glue, do NOT uninstall the taptic engine.
I don't understand why they removed so many parts. Like removing the speaker, Sim card reader and taptic engine didn't change anything about the accessibility of the battery...
I skipped removing the sim card holder and the taptic engine and it was fine. I was only able to remove the largest of the stickers from underneath the battery. A trick to make removing the battery easier, is to apply the alcohol underneath it and then use a suction cup on top of the battery and slightly and gently lift and release repeatedly to gradually peal the battery away from the phone. Be careful not to bend the battery. Took me about 2 hours total.
I tried to skip removing the SIM reader and Taptic Engine but all my pull tabs broke off. So I removed both, then ended up using alcohol under the battery which helped sooo sooo much. Next time I'm applying alcohol first, and only removing the right-side Standoff screw from the Taptic Engine as Apple's official repair guide recommends.
Never treat any smartphone as 'waterproof' especially an iPhone. I remember seeing reviews of my XR saying it was fine to take swimming or immerse in water. 5 minute accidental dip in a pool killed it. Phones lose waterproofing over time so never ever risk it, even with those that have the highest ratings.
Its insane how tightly integrated and engineered phones are nowadays to fit as much technology in the smallest of spaces. Its fascinating to look at, but I can also understand how it could be a headache when it comes to battery replacements/repairs.
i remember me, when u could just buy a new battery for 10 euro/dollar and remove the back cover and replace it just with a few clicks and done. But now its like lock-pick to replace it (by yourself)
Hello, just a question. Why do I need to take apart the taptic engine, speaker and the sim card holder first? I thought I can just disconnect the battery and replace it? Thank you
@@shadmansakib5742 no, he’s right, he doesn’t have to. Those can be accessed without doing all these steps mentioned. It will be a bit more tricky to pull the tape out, but it is completely doable (have done it myself)
What a great tutorial. I’ve repaired older iPhones before but this one was a little different. Definitely helped me perform a successful repair. Thank you!🙏
why do all the components seen removed here need to be removed? as far as I can see, you open that first panel to be able to unplug the battery, then remove it. Same as the iphoneSE1- support the screen on an object like a soup can or something.
Dont count on IP68 rating to be maintained after you do this job. Biggest possibility is, when you insert the guitar pick to take the display out, you'd have bent or dinged the edges ever so slightly that your naked eye wont catch it. THAT is all the water needs to get into despite of the new seal. Chances are pretty darn high of water getting in after this job!
Actually iphone is the most repairable phones out there, but they only want their technician to do it for profits. Your iphone will easily last 7-8 years with good care. It's good for the environment
@@franky-161 I just saw some footages. My point still stands for last gen iphones. But they don't want you to repair it. They want monopoly over repair.
It’s just removing screws tho. If they didn’t want them to be repaired me they’d just solder everything they could. Plus you can take it to a store that fixes phones and get it done for like $100 or a bit more which is a good deal since it will make you phone last way longer.
To me… this seems like you removed a lot of things that were not hindering the removal of the battery. Was it for safety concerns , or removing some things to avoid being damaged. Again. Seemed like a lot more removed than what was holding that battery in. Based off previous designs is how this opinion was formed.
Exactly. I saw no reason to remove any of the other parts. Once you have access to the battery strip and can disconnect it…the next step is removing the tape straps. This was over complicated.
@@kenankajtezovic946 agree this is overly complicated, just changed mine and as you said, once you have access to the battery strips, there is no need to remove all the other parts. Makes me feel that the video was intentionally made this way to put people off doing it.
Very good idea but i actually think that the measuring data from the old battery doesn't fit to the brand new one so the iphone thinks there is something wrong. Maybe there is an option to reset it before the replacement?
If that’s the case, it would be very disappointing. Thinking about it again, apple would definitely do such thing as they lately went above and beyond to make it harder to repair their devices.
@@jasonvoorhees3282you will dont have alert about not recognised part but in battery option u will have old precentage. To have full exprience of new battery you have to resolder bms and connect it to battery cycle reprogramator like JCID.
i think that's called transferring BMS board from an original battery to an OEM battery to get the battery health back. Otherwise it will display unknown part message in settings.
It will if it’s done correctly if done with genuine Apple replacement parts, with aftermarket parts definitely not, that’s when I sell that phone quickly
in my opnion it looks easier to do than iphone 4/4s back then, yes it is still so many parts needs to remove but the components looks easier to remove even if compared with previous iphone series like ipX or Xs.
@@Narucas dude, replacing the battery on iphone 4/4s literally takes 2 minutes. i owned tons of those devices for collection during years and they are so easy to repair compared to recent iphones
I’m thinking about having it done on 3rd party repair shops in the future. We don’t have any apple authorized center in our place. Will it affect the software? Or by chance will it stop getting software updates?
How much editing do you do on screen removal? Also when you put the screws back in how do you get them to stay on the tip of the driver? I would get them going to hole the magnetic screwdriver would change alignment. Any suggestions there?
It will never be the same as it was when new out the box but then again no iPhone is truly water proof, the speakers will get jacked up and will never be the same unless you get that replaced
Hello, my iPhone 12 is not detecting my SIM card after the battery replacement. Any suggestions? Everything is assembled and working except the phone is not recognizing any sim.
do NOT do this yourself. I've replaced a dozen iphone batteries in the past, but it took me nearly two hours to get the display off on this one, even tho I have a temperature controlled heat gun I replaced the battery just to find out that the display is broken now. I was already being really careful, that's why it took me so long, but this thing is so fragile, it's absolutely not worth it if you don't have the specialized apple repair tools!
This video looks easy because it’s under a magnifying glass, imagine how difficult it really is , gotta use a magnifying glass to determine which screw goes where, I’ll just go to the Apple store and get this done for 89.99
Nice. Doesn’t look too bad except for that fancy suction cup tool. Doing a 6s & 8 battery replacement was very easy. Always had to use fishing line to saw the battery glue though. Thinking of grabbing a 12 . The 6s while a great solid device is just too small of a battery. And a battery case kills my LTE signal so I just need a bigger phone. Really should try an android but whatever, I’m anchored to 🍎.
anyone can help me? i installed new battery it was 3800mah but screen its not working sometimes it shows yellow screen idk why but touch is working because i can turn the flashlight on
So, there was adhesive scraped off the edge of the screen. Is that adhesive not replaced? I was in a battery store and overheard the clerk quote a price of $189.00 to replace the battery in this iphone 12! I thought the battery must be really expensive, but no, they run around $40.00! So, the labor, at least at this one shop, is $150.00!!! I thought "I wonder if I can do this at home?" Yup! Here I am watching this video! I already have an iFixit toolkit, and the job doesn't look difficult, so I'll do it myself if ever needed.
I have been using my iPhone 12 pro for a year and already the battery needs service. Been using it pretty extensively watching hours of videos in 2x speed but still very disappointed in the longevity of the battery. Now the battery goes very quickly down to 1% and it can last hours at 1%. Tried calibrating it but replacement seems like the only way to keep using it...... At this point I'm considering switching back to my OnePlus 5T and give apple the middle finger tbh.
You’re probably using a non-certified cable. Non-certified cables use cheap parts and have almost no proper chips to properly charge the phone. Commonly, the tristar chip goes out due to this issue. In other cases, further motherboard damage happens. In rare cases, the whole battery literally just dies. But usually, the battery cells are damaged causing the battery to die out quickly.
Why would your iphone 12 battery be broken as of now? It has literally only been 5 months since the release date when this vid was uploaded. What's going on.
I have replaced my iPhone battery and I noticed that they could have avoided burying the wires so deep under other parts. I believe they did this intentionally, making it time consuming so that more people will just get a newer faster phone than fixing the old one that could last another 2 years. Since when iPhones have become consumable？
I am not really a fan of giving apple all my money but battery replacements arent that expensive and you get the best quality and you wont get the battery message
But why should Apple be the ONLY option for repair. Say your running something like an IPhone 5, I doubt Apple still repair a those, even if they did then the repair would cost as much as the device. What happens when newer unrepairable devices like the X/11/12 become that old? Your screwed.
You could still do it yourself or go to your local repair shop they would still charge you about 60-80$ but then you are greeted with a important battery message so when X/11/12 get older you may be thinking of getting a new phone. For instance take the iPhone 5, you can get one on E-bay for 25-50$ and if you need to replace the battery if you use a good battery like from iFixit they are still 20$ so you may be thinking of just getting a new phone as the other models drop down more and more in price every year. My iPhone 6s plus had a dead battery (Would shut off randomly and the battery lasted like 10min) and also a cracked screen I also had the phone for 3 years so i just upgraded to an XS Max. Sure the parts weren’t that expensive to repair it but you don’t know how long it will get software support or how much will it be worth in 2-3 years, I sold mine for 80$ which wasnt a bad offer at the time.
@@tospoooky4me-417 the issue is that if you replace the screen on newer Iphone and samsung A series phones, you end up losing support for things like trutone, in screen fingerprint scanners and you get warning messages. Similar thing with batteries. Modern devices have gotten fast enough that upgrade cycles more than every 3ish years serves no real purpose to the average person. Although resale values will still plummet, I believe current devices need to be longer lasting, not the other way around. This argument does go for software too, although I could care less about software updates, because I run custom OS skins, I realize that devices should ship with at least 3 years of OS updates with another year or two of security patches. I think my argument can be summed up in this one sentence - we as consumers should demand better, more cost effective and resource concious devices. I was going to end this with a smiley face but realized that the animated RGB keyboard I have loaded on my kindle lacks a colon...
@@Carterthielftw_ I agree, I have been wondering if phones like the 11 pro max will feel faster at the 3/4 year mark than something like my 7+ which by the way does still feel relatively snappy
@@BeyondWoWJunkies not if you use a mixed solution of 99% iso, and some acetone. You can pry the battery out using that mixed solution, just be careful and patient.
It cost $69 to have it replaced by Apple to purchase the battery from a 3rd party company you’re looking at $40 plus you need all the proper tools why risk it just bring it to Apple it’s covered under warranty if they break it…. if you break it you’re stuck with a broken phone that has a bad battery.
Remember those days where you can remove the battery by opening the back panel?
No one holds you back to use such a phone. There are still phones out there like the Fairphone. But if you don’t want to use it, it’s your fault! 😉
Yep, Galaxy S4 had an easily removable and replaceable battery :)

There is difficult to have waterproof… and phone working all the time. If you could pull out the battery some apps can not working in background

Is this any harder than doing it the reccomended way?
Where do we install the new adhesive to ensure water resistance is still operational?
Before you put the screen back on. And yeah, the video skipped that part aparently
OK, My brain and eyes have learned, but my hands have not learned.
do you always lose water proof after opening the phone? can’t have it back?

how about waterproofing after changing the battery? any issue?
Ya the water seal haven’t been put back in so it will be water damage
If you replace the seal before reinstalling the screen, it will still be waterproof.
But it’s not as water proof as the one which came originally installed from the factory
Never treat any smartphone as 'waterproof' especially an iPhone. I remember seeing reviews of my XR saying it was fine to take swimming or immerse in water. 5 minute accidental dip in a pool killed it.

I was in a battery store and overheard the clerk quote a price of $189.00 to replace the battery in this iphone 12! I thought the battery must be really expensive, but no, they run around $40.00! So, the labor, at least at this one shop, is $150.00!!! I thought "I wonder if I can do this at home?" Yup! Here I am watching this video! I already have an iFixit toolkit, and the job doesn't look difficult, so I'll do it myself if ever needed.
dang that's insane. a store near me quoted for 60 bucks...but I already bought the kits haha. I'm just gonna do it.
Apple store will practically replace most new iPhone batteries for 100.00 or less, iPhone 12 only cost 89.99
@@johnjkizer6399 yea my repair shop does it for about the same price as well, i think it was just that repair shop. oem as well
Reinstall your display adhesive… why not show this step? Waterproofing the phone is pretty important.
Doing it half ass.
Thanks for the video! It makes me realize why it is so expensive to replace the battery than iphone 11

By complicating the simple procedure of replacing a battery, Apple earned many millions from the service.
I have been using my iPhone 12 pro for a year and already the battery needs service. Been using it pretty extensively watching hours of videos in 2x speed but still very disappointed in the longevity of the battery. Now the battery goes very quickly down to 1% and it can last hours at 1%. Tried calibrating it but replacement seems like the only way to keep using it...... At this point I'm considering switching back to my OnePlus 5T and give apple the middle finger tbh.
it didn't even come out for a year
You’re probably using a non-certified cable. Non-certified cables use cheap parts and have almost no proper chips to properly charge the phone. Commonly, the tristar chip goes out due to this issue. In other cases, further motherboard damage happens. In rare cases, the whole battery literally just dies. But usually, the battery cells are damaged causing the battery to die out quickly.
I’m a profesional phone repair technician btw.
@Joshua Black loool
@@Ciso_diagnostics cables are just cables… no chips inside them. Maybe the charger, but good quality ones (especially if slow) do the job well too
The voiceover sounds very much like The Lockpicking Lawyer 😅
What a nightmare!
Slide that pick!
Omg this is too much I’m gonna pay someone 🤣
Why would your iphone 12 battery be broken as of now? It has literally only been 5 months since the release date when this vid was uploaded. What's going on.
you can come back and watch the video in a few years when your battery does need replacing.
Uncertified cable chargers can cause damage to the battery or even motherboard in worst cases.
I have replaced my iPhone battery and I noticed that they could have avoided burying the wires so deep under other parts. I believe they did this intentionally, making it time consuming so that more people will just get a newer faster phone than fixing the old one that could last another 2 years. Since when iPhones have become consumable？
Good jop thanks ☺️
Aren’t all iPhone 12 models still under factory warranty including the battery?
I am not really a fan of giving apple all my money but battery replacements arent that expensive and you get the best quality and you wont get the battery message
But why should Apple be the ONLY option for repair. Say your running something like an IPhone 5, I doubt Apple still repair a those, even if they did then the repair would cost as much as the device. What happens when newer unrepairable devices like the X/11/12 become that old? Your screwed.
You could still do it yourself or go to your local repair shop they would still charge you about 60-80$ but then you are greeted with a important battery message so when X/11/12 get older you may be thinking of getting a new phone.
For instance take the iPhone 5, you can get one on E-bay for 25-50$ and if you need to replace the battery if you use a good battery like from iFixit they are still 20$ so you may be thinking of just getting a new phone as the other models drop down more and more in price every year.
My iPhone 6s plus had a dead battery (Would shut off randomly and the battery lasted like 10min) and also a cracked screen I also had the phone for 3 years so i just upgraded to an XS Max.
Sure the parts weren’t that expensive to repair it but you don’t know how long it will get software support or how much will it be worth in 2-3 years, I sold mine for 80$ which wasnt a bad offer at the time.
@@tospoooky4me-417 the issue is that if you replace the screen on newer Iphone and samsung A series phones, you end up losing support for things like trutone, in screen fingerprint scanners and you get warning messages. Similar thing with batteries. Modern devices have gotten fast enough that upgrade cycles more than every 3ish years serves no real purpose to the average person. Although resale values will still plummet, I believe current devices need to be longer lasting, not the other way around.
This argument does go for software too, although I could care less about software updates, because I run custom OS skins, I realize that devices should ship with at least 3 years of OS updates with another year or two of security patches. I think my argument can be summed up in this one sentence - we as consumers should demand better, more cost effective and resource concious devices.
I was going to end this with a smiley face but realized that the animated RGB keyboard I have loaded on my kindle lacks a colon...
@@Carterthielftw_ I agree, I have been wondering if phones like the 11 pro max will feel faster at the 3/4 year mark than something like my 7+ which by the way does still feel relatively snappy
I like the video clip 👍
I really don't see the need to remove those bottom parts to access the battery strips.
Strips will rip if not pulled out at an angle
@@BeyondWoWJunkies not if you use a mixed solution of 99% iso, and some acetone. You can pry the battery out using that mixed solution, just be careful and patient.
Landfill here they come. But don’t use plastic straws and bags! 😂
I just burnt the display module by over heating 😬😬😂😅
Ah…that simple!!
This waaaaaay tooo hard for me
of course its the last screw that I can't get out
I just took my 12 pro to Apple and had them replace the battery. $89+tax and done in an hour.
What was your battery percentage prior to the appointment?
@@YuhBoiJeremiah 78%
@@travr1131 is there a difference in performance?
@@YuhBoiJeremiah Honestly, it doesn't seem any faster since the new battery, but the battery life is way better than the old one was!
this is insane
Where do I get an official apple battery? lol and will my phone stop working if i replace the battery?
It cost $69 to have it replaced by Apple to purchase the battery from a 3rd party company you’re looking at $40 plus you need all the proper tools why risk it just bring it to Apple it’s covered under warranty if they break it…. if you break it you’re stuck with a broken phone that has a bad battery.
As of today, I checked and Apple store will replaced batteries on most newer iPhones 12 and up for under 100.00, my iPhone 12 only cost 89.99
