Does the iPhone 14 still have the battery glued to the back? Couldn't figure it out from reading the article. I recently replaced the battery on my old iPhone 6s using the ifixit repair kit. Of all the steps I found removing the tape attached to the battery was the flakiest/hardest operation. After many attempts I did remove it but I also ended up cracking the battery a bit :sigh:. Any changes that make the removal of the battery easier would be a great win for repairability.

They are still gluing it however they use "pull tab" strips. Although they are somethimes PITA to remove, they are not the worst thing.

If you tear one off you can usually use a little bit of IPA to loosen it.
