Battery Expanding - Pushed Screen Out of Frame!
Hi All
Wondering if anyone is aware of software issues on apple side / hardware issues on Ifixit side regarding iphone 7 battery (ios 14.7.1).
Replaced the battery as health was low with one purchased through website. Within a couple of months I found the screen to have been pushed out of the frame from the battery expanding - battery health still 100% , but phone dying within 20 minutes of taking off full charge.
Purchased a second (never reported the first) as Apple is such a sh** company i put it down to their firmware. However i’ve now encountered the same issue with this battery.
Has anyone encountered anything similar? Or any suggestions? (worth reporting this issue to the ifixit team or not?).
To clarify - i’m not seeking any returns/money etc. Simply want to know what the !&&* has happened to my phone. Thanks
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
Battery expansion could be caused by an internal short in the phone, faulty ICs, excessive heat, or a completely discharged battery. Did you follow iFixit's battery calibration procedure?

@andrewsawesome Hey Andrew - Thanks for the reply. Yes I did indeed follow the calibration procedure.
Sounds like its unfortunately time to shell out for a new phone :( Was unhappy to shell out £40+ within a year on this current one!
