Most of those ads say OEM but in the description show non Apple batteries. You want a genuine Apple battery with the Apple logo. Every Original battery I have seen has the Apple logo.

Ya replacing anything on the iPhone is a pain to do. Has too many tiny screws. Androids are easier

I don't recommend to buy from these sellers since their tools are very weak and will be broken within a sec. Also, detaching the original battery from the case is extremely difficult since the original adhesive is super strong. Also, the original battery covering is super weak. With your weak broken tool, super weak battery covering, and the super strong adhesive, it is very possible to bend the original battery and the bending will cause very small breach. You know when the li-ion is exposed in the air, the instant chemical reaction, fire, will be ignited. And, your precious and expensive iPhone will be burned. I definitely do not recommend.

starting in late january 2018 apple will replace your battery for $29 https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/28/16827248/apple-iphone-battery-replacement-price-slow-down-apology

Apple just dropped the price from $79.99 to $29.99 as part of their apology for throttling old phones. At $30, I'm going to let them do it!

Ice cube tray is great for sorting screws

It's a good idea to get tiny bags to put the different tiny size screws in as you go, labeling them with the step of disassembly.

FYI - IF your phone has any form of waterproof (like the 7 ), you can forget about THAT after the battery is replaced...

I've done this a few times, and it is a good post on here. One thing I should add without watching the videos, if you use a pry tool to unclip the battery from the motherboard, DO NOT USE A METAL PRY TOOL. I've done that once and it shorted the battery clip to the metal shielding on the motherboard, and my phone wouldn't boot up for 3 days. Use guitar picks or buy a plastic pry tool if you plan on doing this.
