Is it safe to replace a swollen battery on my iPhone 5?
Apple has determined that my iPhone 5 has a swelling battery but will not replace it for free since it is over 3-1/2 years old. The swollen battery has separated the touch screen slightly but it still works perfectly. I saw this web site and I'm sure I can replace the battery but I'm concerned that there may be a safety issue since the current battery is swollen. Buying a battery will be a lot less expensive that paying the replacement cost of $269.

This is manufacturing defect and apple must support. It does not matter how old phone is. Under warranty or not. It is legal responsibility to correct apple iphone. You see how many car called back to fix issues...so apple must do it.

Can I remove the sticker of the battery so the air can be released?

I have the same problem. Not only is the battery defective, but they want to replace my phone because the battery damages the phone. The problem is they want me to pay for the battery ($79). Apple is very unethical!

I have replaced a few batteries on my old iPhone 5 and it is perfectly fine and super easy. It only cost me about $20 because I bought the kit too, which I would definitely recommend buying. Just be careful, go slow, and make sure it is only the iPhone 5. Anything above that gets MUCH more complicated. If you have Touch ID it is NOT the iPhone 5 and I would recommend watching a lot of videos before getting into it. If it has touch ID there s a cable running from the screen to the body of the phone, if you snap that cable you will have to replace the home button and will not be able to get Touch ID back. Only Apple can do that and they wont if you have opened the phone.
