Phone works like new again, but battery is too fat.
I purchased this to replace the battery in an iPhone 6s. The original battery was failing, and while the phone was actually still eligible for the $29 battery replacement, I wasn't interested in driving an hour to the nearest Apple place that would do it, so I purchased this battery and installed it myself instead. The tools that come with it are good quality. Phone's working great again!*Update* - Apparently this battery is a tad fatter (deeper) than the original battery. There is a faint vertical line that runs along the screen where the edge of the battery runs (middle screen area) that’s most noticeable on a white background. I also now get colors show up when I push the home button, near where the bottom inside corner of the battery is. This battery works fine, but it would be better if it was the same size as the original battery.

Battery shorted itself out after 3 days.
I think I already tossed it in the trash, so it's too late to return it. Phone died after 3 days with new battery. Took it to repair shop and they advised me to never buy a battery from Amazon. The reason they are so cheap is that a high percentage are defective. I really don't care about the money. All the heartache this thing gave me was far worse than losing a few dollars. In my own defense, I did look for a more expensive battery, but couldn't find one. Should have kept looking.

Great battery life
Works great. Just be sure to break it in by charging it fully and then letting it completely discharge. Repeated this process 3x and the phone holds a charge for nearly 2 full days

Good replacement
Great replacement so far. Was super easy to install once you get the old battery pried out of the phone. I was a little worried at first because after I got the phone put back together, it wouldn’t turn on, even after charging. I did a little research online and found a post about problems with phone not turning on after battery replacement and they suggested you hold down power and home buttons and shake the phone at the same time. Crazy I know but I tried it and it worked. Phone powered right up and has been perfect so far.

Be careful removing the adhesive tabs, go slow.
Battery works great (only in for one day). The instructions were pretty good with one exception the adhesive tabs; the adhesive tabs holding the battery did not come out as shown. With the tabs breaking off when I rolled them is as described in the video, I was left with no instructions (what if this happens). I found some ideas inline but they did not help much. I ended up using the plastic picks and plastic tools to slowly pry the battery out. This was not easy as the adhesive works really well. After I got the battery out the next issue was my fault (make sure you are putting the adhesive tabs on the battery correctly there is no going back). So I ruined the adhesive tabs trying to take the tabs back off. Fortunately I had some double sided tape that I could use. The tape that I had was made for high heat automotive applications so I was comfortable using it. Everything else went as planned and worked well.

great price and better than crappy apple store
great price if you have the 15 minutes and steady hand to remove the cover, screws and battery. replaced it on my mother-in-law's hone and turns on. We missed the $29 apple repair deal that expired in Dec 31st. Apple was fixing their own problems for a charge but NEVER notified its users of the battery problem until class action lawsuit and media attention. stay from apple, let them go downhill and their blind cult followers.

Recommend for the price
Had the battery in about a week now with about 5 charges. Seems like the battery isn't quite as good as the original but that may be because I have some apps stealing my juice. But now my battery lasts a full day with moderate use so I have no complaints. As for the kit it made replacement a snap.

If you have never done this before
To whoever has never opened up their Iphone and changed their battery... This battery is good, i have installed and have used it for more than a week and it has improved my phone performance AND battery life, i no longer think i will need to buy the next iphone and save myself some money, the hard part about this is taking the old battery out, since apple uses adhesive to hold the battery who every has never done this before dont panic! it just requires a little bit of patience and strength
