Just so you know, apparently it's reasonably straightforward to replace the battery of the iPhone 5s, even easier than the iPhone SE (same form factor) for whatever reason.

A few years ago I bought a replacement battery kit that came with everything needed for probably something like $10 from aliexpress. I never actually got around to doing the replacement yet but maybe this update will give me the excuse to dig it up and replace the battery too ha!

Curious - what makes it easier on the 5S? I've replaced the battery and screen on my SE a handful of times and from i can tell from iFixit the process to do the same thing on the 5S looks identical.

Oh maybe I'm wrong then, I felt like I read that the 5S was easier.
