Hi I noticed in the battery replacement guide that it shows to remove the Taptic Engine and speakers but several YouTube videos I watched don’t show removal of any of those. Is it necessary to remove those or can I not remove those as long as I remove all the battery adhesive tabs?
I would follow the guide if you’re DIYing this repair. By removing the speakers and taptic engine you’re allowing more room to get the tweezers in there to remove the adhesive tabs. You can also pull the adhesive at a lower angle which makes it easier to remove and less likely of breaking the tabs.
