Replaced my iPhone 6 battery, part two

UPS (via Next Day Air) delivered the two sets of adhesive strips from iFixit. I’m glad it arrived in the morning. ☀️🛬

Before I started my second attempt, I read the instructions and watched the videos again. 🍿

Read: Part one

iFixit included three words on their box: “You got this.”

They were right. I worked in silence for less than an hour, all went well, and the battery now feels secure. 🔋

I also swapped the Pentalobe screws with Phillips screws from the included Liberation Kit (available with their iPhone 6 Replacement Battery Fix Kit).

I’m sort of ignoring the amount spent for a few reasons. 💸

• Privacy. I didn’t want to leave my device with a third party for several hours/days.
• I didn’t have a working backup iPhone to hold me over.
• I’m saving money by not upgrading to a newer iPhone, especially since my current one is fine.
• I can be confident to do the same for Amy’s iPhone 6…when she’s ready. 💪🏾
• Maybe I can do this — and replace the cracked screen (Amy did it) — on my previous iPhone 5s.
• Fun. I haven’t tinkered like this since I built PCs years ago. See image of Grandpa Simpson yelling at cloud. I’m…not going to link to it. I think you know it. 😉
