Battery replacement iPhone 4S

I just replaced an iPhone 4S battery (using the iFixit replacement battery and tools). Everything went fine.

The instructions mention (and also show in picture) a "plastic pull tab" to pull the battery out. Although my iPhone 4S was purchased new some years ago and I never before had to do any repair for it, its battery did not have such a plastic pull tab.

No problem for me, I could still do everything - but I just wanted to let you know that there may be some units without this tab.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Thanks for the feedback! I've never heard of this but I suppose it could be an assembly error. We do see those from time to time. (Googling around turned up one other person with your specific issue, and Apple accused them of tampering with the phone.)

Anyway, congrats on a successful repair!
