Sorry, whats happening around 2:40-3:00, where he discharges (?) the adhesive tape? Or is he heating it with current?

  electrically-released adhesive. https://hackaday.com/2024/09/22/hands-on-with-new-iphones-electrically-released-adhesive/ https://hackaday.com/2024/09/22/hands-on-with-new-iphones-el...

    That's such a great idea.

      Certainly beats using a heat gun and a prying tool to dislodge a battery.

  The new adhesives they use for their metal batteries can be undone by applying 9v for like a minute or something.

  Looks like the battery is glued down with heat sensitive glue. Those are the terminals to connect to a built-in heater (i.e. piece of wire). This replaces a finicky 3m-command-strip-like thing. That's what I gather; I've never opened a modern iPhone.

    The glue isn’t heat sensitive- there is no built-in heater. The glue is chemically changed by the electric current to no longer adhere.
