Thanks for the video! I just replaced the battery in my 6S Plus using (mostly) your instructions. I was able to pull out all the adhesive strips except the one nearest the volume buttons. I grabbed it twice, but it tore apart each time. I eventually pried the battery up from the side nearest the power switch using a 2" hard plastic putty knife. This left most of the adhesive strip stuck to the case, and the old battery didn't suffer serious damage. It just takes a little care and patience. I also built a holder out of wood so the back didn't need to be removed. I used a couple rubber bands to hold the back to an upright mounted on a wooden base, and this prevents the back from going over 90º. The bottom of the phone is prevented from sliding away from the upright by a small strip of wood tacked down to the base. Once this was done, there was no risk of pushing the back over 90º during handling, so only the battery connector had to be disconnected. Worked first time, phone is like new. Thanks again!
When putting the new strips of tape, would it be better to make each one into a loop, with both ends of the loop sticking out onto the front side ? That way it might be more easily pulled out, I'm thinking. Or maybe not.
It’s actually pretty easy to do. Definitely not anything I will ever be paying some guy at Best Buy to do for me anymore. Expand your horizons dude. Save some $$$.
