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. | |||||||||||||||||
