The iPhone 11 Pro battery has two connectors, one on the logic board and one on the lightning connector. The procedure is the same for both connectors:

The display connectors are detached from the logic board. Remove the display connectors with same procedure.

The battery of the iPhone 11 Pro is fixed in the case from three sides with adhesive tape. To make it easier to remove the adhesive strips, we recommend that you first detach the Lightning connector and remove the bracket plate over the Lightning cable set.

Then separate the two connectors of the Lightning connector by carefully lifting them off the logic board with a spudger.

Detach the Taptic Engine connector by carefully lifting it off the USB board with a spudger. Loosen the three screws that hold the Taptic Engine in place. 

6. Removing the battery and preparing the new battery

The battery is glued in with three adhesive strips. These can be pulled out by their tabs, which are attached to the edge of the battery. To begin, remove the black tabs of the adhesive strips from the edge of the battery using tweezers.

Pull the adhesive strips slowly one after the other from under the battery. Pull them out as flat as possible so that they do not tear. When all the adhesive strips are released, you can remove the battery.

Once the old battery is removed, you can prepare your new spare battery by applying adhesive tape to it. Align the adhesive strips on the back of the battery as a test. Remove the blue protective foil and attach the adhesive strips to the battery.

7. Inserting the battery and the Taptic Engine
