That is actually a very good Idea. I have repaired a number of older iPhones and these adhesive strips ALWAYS rip when pulling them, no matter how careful I am. After some years of being exposed to heat I guess it just doesn't work right anymore.
This is actually different, it's an electrochemical release. (Too hard to make an adhesive/heater combo that both doesn't fail in extreme conditions and doesn't cook off the battery when activated)
@@RobertSzasz Specifically, the voltage causes the aluminum to oxidizes and this sends ions from the aluminum in the form of, Al3+, to debond the adhesive. Think of it like a shell that you can't see separates from the aluminum and that is the part that was adhered to the battery. You could most likely reapply it by removing the oxidation and neutralizing the Al3+ with chloride ions.... though that does not sound safe. You'd also have to add an ionic liquid of some sort, good luck finding a safe one there. Oh yeah btw, that glue is really toxic.
the adhesive strip is likely mildly conductive and heats up when connected to the battery which would loosen the glue. Same concept as using a heat gun to heat up the adhesive. I rarely say this, but good job apple.
I hope there's more to it than that, because the phone and battery already heat up naturally during use. I can't imagine it'd be good for the adhesive to constantly be loosening and re-adhering.
Also is a tactic to, at least for some time, make it more difficult to get non apple batteries. When you modify a part like that, it forces third parties to spend more money and get longer lead times for replacements, thus making apple the sole provider for a while (allowing them to charge more money).
No, it's a chemical reaction. Quote from the research paper: "Anodic delamination is caused by the oxidation of the surface of the aluminum substrate and migration of Al3+ into the adhesive. This will lead to fast debonding since the substrate layer bonded to the adhesive is no longer supported." This would also imply that the polarity is important when doing this repair
This and the fact that the phone opens from the back instead of the front now, is the best thing that Apple has done for their phones in years. At least there’s no worries to break the screens when you replace some part in your phone!

As an EE i have a guess My guess is a very thin trace loop similar to copper wire though thinner and wider my guess is a long weaving loop of 40 gauge, lets assume 18 inches of trace underthe adheasive smear at 9v by 1.5 mA sustained would raise the wires temp to a range of 45-70C or about 115-180F and if the adheasive contains silver which it looks like it does you need even less heat due to silver having the highest conductivity of the elemental metals
Also, in case you don’t know, there is the reason why they didn’t give you wall chargers anymore! You can charge new 16th directly from 110v outlet. Put your iPhone to your pocket, take couple nails to each hand of yours and stick it to the wall power outlet! Voila! Your iPhone charged in a seconds.

It’s called “memory cloth.” Regularly flexible but if you put a current through it, the molecules realign and become rigid. It can be tailored to fit any structure based on a rigid skeleton.
Basically because if somehow this new thing causes problems , atleast the premium customers don't get affected , also the fact that those premium customers will probably buy a new phone than do this hence earning them more earning while they can earn goodwill here
@@Yui-ys5cvtbh, I have pro because it is more powerful and durable so I wont need to replace it as soon as regular. I would guess “let’s better test this first on cheaper phone so in case of problems it costs us less to replace units”
It was a problem, you just don’t realize. Batteries need to be replaced on iPhones, which is a service Apple offers. If the repair technician breaks the tabs the battery cannot be removed in store so the whole device gets replaced at the cost of a battery repair. Apple technicians suck, so this occurred frequently, which adds up to extremely high costs for Apple. It’s been an issue for a very long time. It will remain to be seen if this solves it but it is definitely a problem. 😂
I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure the change was for adhesive longevity. I say that because some people don’t replace their batteries often. Take someone like me if I was to have my battery replaced I’m 90% sure the adhesive is dry and would need to be soaked in alcohol to be safely removed. However hypothetically the new way would allow the battery to be removed just as easily 3 years later just as if it was new. But I’m not Apple nor a genius so I could be wrong
This is objectively the best midpoint between making sure the battery stays in place and is easily removable as the old swappable batteries could accidentally detach themselves from inside
I am not an Apple fan and would go back to a Princess Phone before I buy an Apple phone, BUT I love when engineers are able to do things other than increase complexity!
Remember when you could just... pull the battery out? No adhesive, no glue, no screws, nothing. Just pop off the back cover, and the battery would practically fall out if you shook the phone hard enough.
Amazing just a minute and a half! So much more convenient than having the battery slide in or out! This is the future! Apple is great requiring you have a battery on standby to pull out a defective battery! Totally better!
nah this is actually a first that Apple did samsung battery adhesive is not that bad to remove but its not like this. in the case of samsung phones heat or alcohol is your best bet like most adhesives
"The battery just came right off." Ya know, besides running to the store to grab alligator clips and a 9-volt battery and also waiting for the adhesive to loosen, but yeah, the battery just came right off! So AMAZING!
This could be a huge game changer, trying to remove the ribbon cables on the iPod video/classic is a humengous pain in the ass, pull too hard or something and you've destroyed the entire ribbon cable, being able to apply a current to remove the adhesive is something we needed a long time ago!!!
I think this is a pretty good idea. Sometimes the old adhesive would get stuck to the frame or a very rare cases melt, And I’m just assuming here but I don’t think this battery can come off in any other way unless you force it
It works electrochemically. The voltage causes the aluminium to oxidise, and the oxide layer releases itself from the adhesive. If you reverse the polarity you'll get the oxide forming on the opposite surface, so the glue stays stuck to the case instead of the battery, and you'll have a harder job cleaning up the residue from the case before fitting the new battery.

Truly amazing. I have a cheapo phone that has a tool less removable back cover and the battery clicks out with ease!
Yeah, me too, but there is no apple logo on it, so US kids aren't gonna buy those.
@@neverstopschweiking I had my dads old flip phone till I was in secondary school (high school for the Americans) and it’s still the best phone I ever had
It’s called “memory cloth.” Regularly flexible but if you put a current through it, the molecules realign and become rigid. It can be tailored to fit any structure based on a rigid skeleton.
Would it be stick back to other part if put the battery back on the phone?
He's just quoting the dark knight buddy, I don't think he actually knows, but then again, he might
Ok but why not use only a slight strap than investing in a diferent type of adhesive ?
It’s strange how it’s only on the 16 and not the 16 pros
Basically because if somehow this new thing causes problems , atleast the premium customers don't get affected , also the fact that those premium customers will probably buy a new phone than do this hence earning them more earning while they can earn goodwill here
@@Yui-ys5cvtbh, I have pro because it is more powerful and durable so I wont need to replace it as soon as regular.
I would guess “let’s better test this first on cheaper phone so in case of problems it costs us less to replace units”
This is another way of apple ripping the user pocket
Theyre fixing a problem which was not present. Just go back to real batteries.
It was a problem, you just don’t realize. Batteries need to be replaced on iPhones, which is a service Apple offers. If the repair technician breaks the tabs the battery cannot be removed in store so the whole device gets replaced at the cost of a battery repair. Apple technicians suck, so this occurred frequently, which adds up to extremely high costs for Apple. It’s been an issue for a very long time. It will remain to be seen if this solves it but it is definitely a problem. 😂
Also, “real batteries”….? Dude, you are clueless 😂
You mean just go back to phones that were 3/4 of an inch thick and could only make calls and send texts?
@@stevemichael8458 are you dumb? I mean removable batteries with plastic backs which never break. the nice compact ones which were clipped in.
I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure the change was for adhesive longevity.
I say that because some people don’t replace their batteries often.
Take someone like me if I was to have my battery replaced I’m 90% sure the adhesive is dry and would need to be soaked in alcohol to be safely removed.
However hypothetically the new way would allow the battery to be removed just as easily 3 years later just as if it was new.
But I’m not Apple nor a genius so I could be wrong
Then how do you put the new battery?
New adhesive should be in box with new battery
Wellllllll ummmmm about that
What a question? Of course, switch the polarity
Do it again and it sticks again
Good the connection
in iphone 30 use another iphone to unlock your iphone
You'll need to attach it to your car battery
This is objectively the best midpoint between making sure the battery stays in place and is easily removable as the old swappable batteries could accidentally detach themselves from inside
I am not an Apple fan and would go back to a Princess Phone before I buy an Apple phone, BUT I love when engineers are able to do things other than increase complexity!
Don't act like you didn't spend half an hour prying it out before you knew this
he's a repair technician
Remember when you could just... pull the battery out? No adhesive, no glue, no screws, nothing. Just pop off the back cover, and the battery would practically fall out if you shook the phone hard enough.
The cult members must have this phone.
@@fge00 They'll never take it in one piece.
"The batree just came off this is amazing but I have no idea how to put it back together "
Amazing just a minute and a half! So much more convenient than having the battery slide in or out! This is the future! Apple is great requiring you have a battery on standby to pull out a defective battery! Totally better!
S24 watching this be like
“Bruhhhh we have that from 2020!!,”
nah this is actually a first that Apple did samsung battery adhesive is not that bad to remove but its not like this. in the case of samsung phones heat or alcohol is your best bet like most adhesives
Thats not amazing thats just extremely stupid. Can not be that hard to just glue it on normally 🤦♂️
or a simple clip, or even better just a firm fit that makes it easy to just take out and put in as needed, holy smokes this is beyond dumb.
Apple is just looking for ways to make their devices harder to repair while making them break down faster😂 Android is better
I don't think you understand the concept of this video
This is actually really cool! Im waiting for Android phones manufactures will use this
i miss cheese strings
All manufacturers should uses this method
Reminds me to Porsche 928 windscreen. Same System
That's pretty cool, the battery comes out easier and safer than the pull tabs or the adhesives that require heat.
Whoever found the trick is a genius..
That idea was smart as hell
iPhone 16 just came out. We already have people tearing them apart. 💀
So basically apple wants me to jumpstart my phone battery just to remove and replace it💀💀😭
Honestly more than Okay with this, keeps it secure and relatively simple.
some day there will be a removable door and you will just pop the battery out. The future looks amazing!
Someone designed it like that. Let that sink in.
The people that make batteries are gonna love this 😂
As an android user and iPhone hater, THIS IS FIRE! Not exactly sure how it works but this def needs to be used jn every phone.
They really went through all of that bullshit instead of just using a mechanical solution?
"The battery just came right off."
Ya know, besides running to the store to grab alligator clips and a 9-volt battery and also waiting for the adhesive to loosen, but yeah, the battery just came right off! So AMAZING!
So innovative, so user friendly.
“This is amazing”
Said no real person ever
This could be a huge game changer, trying to remove the ribbon cables on the iPod video/classic is a humengous pain in the ass, pull too hard or something and you've destroyed the entire ribbon cable, being able to apply a current to remove the adhesive is something we needed a long time ago!!!
I think this is a pretty good idea. Sometimes the old adhesive would get stuck to the frame or a very rare cases melt, And I’m just assuming here but I don’t think this battery can come off in any other way unless you force it
Apple is demanding their clients to gain a certain skill set to access their products. I love it.
They removed the pull tape because it was found to cause self discharge. This is a good solution.
Ok... this is absolutely genius. If they ever to this for the display, repairs would get waaay easier. But I doubt Apple would ever do that
Best feature apple has made this year
The way he threw his tool means that he is in total shock lol
Holy shit the 9 V gonna make a comeback. I’m not a really good weighted make a battery disconnect
It works electrochemically. The voltage causes the aluminium to oxidise, and the oxide layer releases itself from the adhesive. If you reverse the polarity you'll get the oxide forming on the opposite surface, so the glue stays stuck to the case instead of the battery, and you'll have a harder job cleaning up the residue from the case before fitting the new battery.
I don’t understand how this has a million likes and how any of this info is valuable
this is actually great
unlike a glue it is better to replace
It's simple.... the heat create from the 9v being connected loosens the adhesive.
Finally a battery repair on iPhone made so much easier
I literally thought that meant you had to literally SQUEEZE a 9 volt battery in your phone. 🤣
If you do that your phone will be void so do not do that.
