I havent done an iPhone but a Galaxy and bought the iFixIt kit for my phone (battery replacement) which came with everything and had detailed instructions along with it.
Did you feel like the battery replacement lived up to your hype? In the past I have replaced a battery and have wondered afterwards if it actually made much difference... Maybe it was old stock, but I felt like the original battery and the 3rd party replacement were about the same :(
I gave the phone away after doing it so I can't report back on that, but way back when I had my Note 4 and LG V20, it did seem like the third party batteries I used would wear out quickly. On the other hand, I think modern phones are far easier on their batteries.
If the installed battery is failing or close to failing, you're either going to install 3rd party or toss the phone in the trash so I think its worth a shot. IIRC the actual replacement parts in the kit (separate from all the repair tools which you keep) were fairly inexpensive so it's not a big loss if it doesnt last, especially if you think you might use the repair tools again in the future.
yeah thats fair, I'll prolly wait until my battery is in pretty poor shape before attempting a replacement since I don't want to crack the phone open for a negligible increase in power, will just have to shop around and see who is offering the best replacement batteries when the time comes!
