Need to learn how to replace your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus’s battery, display, or other components? Our friends over at iFixit, the same ones that regularly tear apart the newest devices to have a look inside, today published its latest iPhone repair guides for the recently released iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
For both devices iFixit has guides on the most common repairs including battery replacement, front panel assembly/display replacement, and getting out those nasty proprietary Pentalobe screws. The iPhone 6 guides can be accessed here, which are quite similar to the almost identical but larger iPhone 6 Plus model here.
All the tutorials walk you through the process and also provide links to purchase any necessary tools you might not have. The battery replacement, for example, requires 13 steps and a handful of tools like a suction cup, tweezers, a screwdriver, and other tools for prying up any glued down or pressure-fit components. iFixit happens to sell its own tools for the ones that might be harder to find such as its P2 screwdriver for Apple’s Pentalobe screws.
In case you need a closer look inside the devices before starting your repair, you can also access the company’s recent teardown.

this is great! thanks for posting
Wow.
I can replace the battery in my Samsung Galaxy S5 in less than two minutes ans without any tools. That’s a great feature so I can have a spare on the charger but, really, battery life is amazing so I don’t need a spare!
What a contrast!
So what youre saying is its pointless to replace the battery but you wasted money on a replacement anyway….umm okay then
Please don’t feed the trolls.
Perhaps they might spend time reading about their platform of choice instead of their platform of hate, but I won’t get my hopes up… the internet is full of a$$holes with way too much time on their hands.
At the end of the day its still a samsung lol
Yep. But, at the end of the day, at least my phone doesn’t have a dead battery.
nor does my iphone
Happy to make another $2 for the day are ya, you soulless paid shill?
Your piece of Sam Dung could shit out gold on an hourly basis and I still wouldn’t be interested. Ever. Capiche?
Let’s not kid ourselves here; of course you don’t. Because you’re a moron of epic proportions who does nothing but repeatedly bang his two brain-celled skull against the same wall … day in, day out. Let me explain it to you another way: I’d buy a Windows device before I ever buy an Android device, let alone one encased in a craplastic product shat out by a thieving, lying, cheating, stealing, devoid-of-originality company.
Make sense, troll?
Hey Spiral, I hope you’re enjoying the “new” features that the rest of the world has had for a long time?
I’m not paid to post. You seem to be familiar with that process though.
Capiche?
It is a good thing your Samsung has an easy to remove battery. I mean, how on earth would you be able to recover your phone from an Android bug without removing the battery.
Yes, because with a samescum phone, you need to change your battery, 5 times a day. Ha ha.
I think there’s a dark dingy corner of the room you can scamper back to, cockroach.
If you do this don’t expect your warranty to be valid at Apple afterwards. And if Apple sees tampering you will be denied service completely. Good luck getting parts that work as good as what you can get from Apple. Remember those cheap power blocks that shock and kill people. Lot’s of cheap parts out there that could be dangerous, just saying.
Just buy your parts from ifixit. They will be good. And eventually the warranty ends on Apple products. Replacing the iPhone battery is a necessary step I think for long term ownership. The battery is much worse after a year and a half of hard use.
Good to know if one chooses to hold on to their phone for a few years and the battery gives out.
I still wish apple had a solution for battery life though. While it’s nice to have a solid frame and such, I do wish I could come home and swap a battery real quick and be on the go again. Instead I have to put my phone down for a while and let it charge.
Why would you do any of this when every iPhone 6 still has a warranty?!
OMG iFixit is AMAZING! I have their app
is it possible to put in a bigger battery in the iPhone 6
I really like the way you have described everything here. Your blog really helps me a lot for changing mine Iphone 6 battery and display. I didn’t face any type of issue in changing battery and display by following your instructions.
