    The main thing for me is the quality of the pull tabs. It might partly be a skill issue but in my experience they break 3 out of 4 times, and then it transforms into a miserable experience. I’ve changed iPhone batteries maybe 6 or 7 times now and I’ve never managed to get better at it, even by being super careful.

    They need to find a better system to stick those batteries, at this point I’m convinced pull tabs are terrible by choice.

      I’ve had lots of luck removing them, but I’m usually very patient with the pull. Slow, relatively level pulling with the end wrapped around my tweezers twice always seems to work. I think I’ve only snapped one out of dozens, and a dropper of IPA dissolved the adhesive in a couple seconds, so it wasn’t that big an inconvenience in the end.
