Apple iPhone battery and two main PCBs - back

Apple iPhone battery and two main PCBs - back
After removing the several small screws which secure it in place and disconnecting the two antenna wires, I gently removed the battery and main PCBs as one unit. The iPhone's battery is soldered to the main PCBs and I decided against removing the solder. I wanted the unit to work when I put it back together.

If you need to replace the battery on an out-of-warranty phone, be prepared to send the unit back to Apple and pay $85.95. According to Apple's Web site, the process takes three business days and you will lose all data on the phone.

Because of the time involved in actually replacing these batteries, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple just sent each customer a refurbished phone instead of replacing the battery.
