It's time to speak out for your right to repair
We have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronic
equipment—like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment. This is a once-in-a-generation
chance to protect local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that
keep getting squeezed out by manufacturers.
Join the cause and tell your state representative to support Right to Repair. Tell them you believe repair should be fair, affordable, and accessible. Stand up for your right to repair!
I think it's a question of safety, not yours but the phones.
When you replace the battery for the first time it's glued down and won't budge even if you chuck it in a tornado.
Trying to remove it whilst the screen assembly is still on is going to be a nightmare, removing it might be a bit challenging but it sure helps with removing the battery clinging to the case for its dear life.
after the first replacement i agree, you can swap it without disconnecting anything other than the battery itself, but for the first time it's better to not risk breaking the ribbon cables
