Apple to Develop New Method to Make iPhone Battery Replacement a Pain No More. In accordance with InformationCupertino is experimenting with an “electrically induced decoupling” process that could replace the current system of adhesive strips that hold the battery in place. This even indicates that the technology could debut in at least one iPhone 16 model.
If you have never had to replace an iPhone battery, we will tell you that it is a labor-intensive job. Not only because you have to remove the mobile phone screen and other elements, such as the touch mechanism or the speaker. But also because removing the old battery requires a lot of effort and patience.
The component is attached to the iPhone using three or four adhesive strips (depending on the model), which must be pulled with tweezers. Usually this quite prone to cutsalthough if at least one of them resists, you can complete the battery removal using another tool, always being careful not to puncture it.
To this I add that changing the iPhone battery you need special equipment provided by Apple or external kits such as iFixit. Yes, you can rent those in the area, but this is far from a convenient option for those who do not have experience. In this video you can see how to replace the iPhone mini battery using the DIY repair program.

Apple will work on a new method for replacing the iPhone battery
It remains to be seen whether this supposed new iPhone battery replacement method will actually debut this year. Apple’s intention is to include it in all of its smartphone models, starting with the iPhone 17. That is, while removing the battery would be easier, the rest of the process, including disassembling and then reinstalling the screen or other sensors and components— it would still be the same.
However, Cupertino’s decision to explore a new method for replacing the iPhone battery will respond to pressure from regulators. Information indicates that, starting in 2025, European law will require all smartphone manufacturers to allow their users to replace a specified component using readily available tools.
This view was put forward by Ming-Chi Kuo in May last year. The renowned analyst then claimed that Apple was planning to equip the iPhone 16 Pro Max with a higher-density battery and a stainless steel body.
“Stainless steel does not dissipate heat as effectively as aluminum, but it is stronger and less prone to corrosion, so a stainless steel case not only dissipates heat, but also provides better battery protection. iPhone Battery and System Using a stainless steel case also reduces the difficulty of removing the battery, which will help Apple comply with European Union requirements for the replacement of mobile batteries in the future.”

Let’s see how this story goes. If the information is correct, Apple could be making an interesting move forward. improve iPhone repairabilityat least when replacing the battery.
