    You can take the battery out without removing the taptic engine.

    •  3 роки тому +49

      That could lead to broken pull tabs and forcing you to pry the battery out making easier the break of cables going under the battery, and they are so fragile.

    Nice. Seems like quite a surgery with sophisticated methods & tools, compared to the battery replacement I did back in 2014 of my iPhone 4S with just a screwdriver and a battery purchased on eBay. We have come a long way since then. Thanks for the video.

      Exactly, my phone stopped working but I can hear a rattle on the inside (probably the battery connector) and figured I'd just open the phone and plug it back in. Nope, got to have 3 one of a kind bits made specifically for this phone. $20 for each bit. Not to mention the $30 sealers and more overpriced junk. Had it for a whole 2 years before I have to spend another $1000 so I can have the same problems in another 2 years.

      at that point bruh just buy a new phone that already will come with a better battery anyway. Like an iPhone 11 from apple or something, or even a XR although it's not great value anymore at 500. The XR right now imo is worth depending on the storage I guess in the 400s.

    I have Apple Watch Series 3
    Today I experienced with a big problem.
    The watch turned off and when pressing the side button its not turning on, even apple logo is not showing up.
    When put to charge, apple logo appears then goes away then comes back and goes away again and this keeps on repeating until I remove from charging
    I have no idea what to do, tried resetting/hard reset the watch by pressing power button and digital crown together for 10-15 seconds
    Still no apple logo shows up
    I don’t know what to do! Tried contacting apple, they say if its hardware problem I will have to replace the whole watch because apple watches are unrepairable.
    Please let me know if you have a solution, I am in real need for help. Thank you in advance!

    Now at step 741 be extremely careful and remove the 4,362 polyangonal screws that hold the filter swan screen on and then pop off the seven 3 way octagonal 14 pin ribbon cable swivel heads. step 742 place the smudgepuffer against the heating slodger and pull ever so gently so as to not undo the frozen hinge gap point swagger node pin assembly. Keep in mind this will have to be replaced exactly the same way or a reverse image will be not unavailable. Then simply do the 742 steps in reverse and you will end up with one extra screw. Throw it in the junk drawer and use your iPhone XR as a paper weight.

    I know Apple is anti-repair, but I am glad that Apple didn't patent their pentalobe screwdrivers or bits so that way no one can manufacture them.

      It doesn't matter, you will always have people that manufacture them especially those in China.

      If Apple is “anti-repair” then why iPhones get better iFixit scores than most of the other phones?
      Samsungs, for example, are much more difficult to repair.

      @@veke1372 I think Samsung's are easier to repair than apples. It's really easy to replace the back glass on a Samsung compared to an apple. Also Apple phones have a lot of different screw types and brackets.
