Step 1: Gather Necessary Tools and Materials

Before starting the battery replacement, make sure you have the following tools and materials ready:

• New battery for iPhone 13
• Pentalobe screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
• Spudger or plastic pry tool
• Suction cup
• Tweezers
• Heat gun or hairdryer (optional)
• Isopropyl alcohol (for adhesive removal)

Step 2: Power Off Your iPhone

Ensure your iPhone 13 is completely powered off to prevent any electrical hazards during the replacement process.

• Press and hold the side button and either volume button until the power off slider appears.
• Slide the power off slider to turn off the device.

Step 3: Remove the Screen

To access the battery, you need to remove the screen carefully.

1. Heat the edges: Use a heat gun or hairdryer to warm the edges of the phone. This helps soften the adhesive.
2. Use a suction cup: Place a suction cup near the bottom edge of the screen and pull gently to create a small gap.
3. Insert a spudger: Once the gap is created, insert a spudger or plastic pry tool to carefully lift the screen. Work your way around the edges to detach the adhesive.

Step 4: Disconnect the Battery

Once the screen is removed, locate the battery connector.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws securing the battery connector cover.
2. Gently lift the cover to expose the battery connector.
3. Use a spudger to carefully disconnect the battery from the motherboard.

Step 5: Remove the Old Battery

Now, it's time to take out the old battery.

1. Look for the adhesive tabs underneath the battery. If they are not accessible, you may need to apply a few drops of isopropyl alcohol around the edges to loosen the adhesive.
2. Gently pull the adhesive tabs to lift the battery out of its compartment. If they break, use the spudger to pry the battery out slowly.

Step 6: Install the New Battery

With the old battery removed, you can now install the new one.

1. Place the new battery into the battery compartment.
2. Connect the battery to the motherboard by aligning the connector and pressing it in firmly.

Step 7: Reattach the Screen

With the new battery in place, it's time to reattach the screen.

1. Replace the battery connector cover and secure it with the screws you removed earlier.
2. Align the screen with the frame and press down gently to ensure it snaps back into place.

Step 8: Power On Your iPhone

Once everything is reassembled, power on your device to ensure the new battery is functioning correctly.

• Press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.
