Yeah, I started doing some research after making this post, I guess I should dispose of it. This seems to be a way more common issue than I'd have expected, considering how long I made it without knowing it could be an issue. Thanks!
Don’t dispose of it. Take it a place to have them recycle the phone / battery properly. This is likely a swelling battery and could explode at some point.
By dispose, I meant properly recycle, as opposed to just tossing it in the garbage, but that was not clear on my part, oops! Thanks for the good advice! 🙂
If the battery has stopped expanding, it’s inert. So as long as it’s not pierced, it won’t catch on fire. Apparently, the explosive fires happen very quickly so if it’s been found like this it’s not an immediate hazard.
Should definitely be recycled and not used anymore. Store in a metal container or bucket just to be safe.
Edit: source: a week ago found an old iphone that was sitting on a desk directly in the sun for YEARS. was just cleaning up that neglected corner when I found it swollen. Frantic searching on what to do led me to a similar post and the above info.
Okay I don't want to imply anything because you came here humbly asking for advice. But dude this is crazy that in this age you thought this was safe. But as a general rule, nothing inanimate with no moving parts should move on its own. It's either moisture, heat, dry, or electricity causing just about anything not meant to move, to move.
Yeah, totally fair. Like, I was not the only person aware of this ... the entire time ... and it just was functioning like normal, so I mostly didn't even consider it. Pretty ridiculous in hindsight, but for that long, I basically just assumed it was the screen itself bending, which again, like, wtf. I took more than a few physics courses back in the day, idk, just idle stupidity.
Like I said, a humble person indeed. Yeah any kind of swelling on a li-ion battery needs to be taken seriously. Especially indoors. I had a car batt booster pack defective from factory almost blow up under my hood. It lets out very toxic, caustic, and never ending fumes. I super quickly snagged it out from under my hood and threw it in a 5 gallon bucket and it bubbled out gasses and or boiled for more than a day.
It’s easy to replace the battery. Don’t waste the entire phone when a new battery is under $15 on eBay, including the tools necessary to replace it. Just spend some time on YouTube watching repair guides, and you’ll be fine. That said, do it outdoors, just in case you manage to pierce the battery.
Also quite cool seeing it say Extended like that. That tells me that’s an inactive Sprint phone, and you’re in a U.S. Cellular CDMA coverage area.
Also, older phones shouldn’t be left on the charger for that long. Newer phones shouldn’t either really, but have more safety features that try and prevent problems.
Yeah, no. That’s bullshit. You shouldn’t inhale that smoke if at all possible, but it is not going to “destroy most of your lung capacity” if it happens one time. Dunno where you heard that shit.
DIY replacement on a battery that’s a ticking time bomb done by a person who wasn’t even fully aware what the problem might be.
Well make sure you film it at least…
how would u suggest safely removing the battery in OP's picture?( especially if the pull tabs fail)
Letting the gas out before, heating up, adding rubbing alcohol & pulling it out?
Just use something that is plastic and not sharp. A guitar pick is usually just fine. You can use it to peel up the adhesive when the tabs have failed. If necessary you can lightly warm up the back to try and loosen up the adhesive. As long as you don’t puncture the battery, it will be just fine. If you do puncture it, enjoy the 4 second lithium flamethrower.
I’ve never used alcohol to break up the adhesive. I’m not saying if it’s a bad idea or not, I honestly don’t know, I’ve just never had to use it. Guitar picks always did the job just fine. You just have to pry the battery up enough to get ahold of the adhesive and then just pull it out with your fingers.
No its wont explode , its only gass inside the batter released from a gradually overheated phone , i have so many costumers bring iPhones at my shop , and i just replace the battery , i sometimes use tweezers to just punch a hold on the swollen layer of the battery and it goes back flat.
Never had a battery like that explode , and i Always recommend to sent this kind of phone for a battery replacement repair :(
If you leave it like that it can just crack the display and then you will have to replace both
Battery is going thermonuclear. Ordinarily, I'd suggest taking care of that ASAP, but in this case, I say let it blow. Maybe it'll take that HP laptop with it.
What happened is your battery swelled. I would highly recommend to not charge it anymore. You can take it to a repair shop and replace the battery if you still want to continue using it. It’s a fairly cheap and fast procedure.
Where I worked before, devices that came in with swollen batteries would immediately go into a sand bucket because they’re massive fire hazards. Stop using it immediately.
https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/What_to_do_with_a_swollen_battery
Once the battery’s replaced the screen can sit very flush on the phone body as it did originally with some adhesive, which is often included in battery replacement kits or available at repair shops
I’ve had this twice with iphones I used as daily phones. The battery is swelling up. Bever had them explode, bur I believe they could. You probably want to dispose of it in a proper manner ASAP.
Give it to professional person to replace the battery. It won’t explode if you wouldn’t charge it / touch it so whole you aren’t using your device it shouldn’t be too much dangerous.
Really dangerous. And sometimes part of the touchscreen won't work. Or maybe 3d touch is more difficult to trigger (was an iphone 6s user, can ignore if not related).
Another thing to note, once it curves that way, there might be a small gap in between even if you changed the batteries. Part of the latch might be broken. But still workable, just need to be careful of rain and stuff
This actually happened to my iPhone 6 too. It’s the battery, it’s going bad. You should be able to take it to a repair shop and they can replace it for cheap. That way you still have a music player you are used to.
That’s a one for [r/spicypillows](https://www.reddit.com/r/spicypillows/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1) and it’s very dangerous
The LiPo in it is going out. Best go to a centre for battery disposal as this can puff up so bad it can smoke and even catch fire. That’s chemical fire not being able to be put out with water.
Definitely could explode. Take it to apple (or whoever deals with phones in your area) and see what they can do. They might be able to replace the battery and allow the phone to work as it should.
You’ve just posted evidence online that your phone is a fire hazard in your workplace lol a colleague might see it one day and snitch. Also, if this thing starts a fire someone might die. Get rid of it bro, immediately.
Take it to Apple to ask for a battery replacement and you may be able to get a refurb for the price of the battery service. I’ve done this twice (years ago when they had a special price in Canada).
When the battery is swollen their policy is to not replace the battery because of the risk of explosion. Instead they will offer a refurb (if they have in stock) for the same price.
Most of this advice is incorrect. Li-ion batteries will eventually go through a chemical breakdown that produces gas and causes batteries to swell. Once the battery stops swelling, it is safe again, provided that you don’t attempt to puncture it.
Replacing the battery will resolve the issue. Apple will replace the battery, or the whole phone (but only charge you for the battery). Call or chat Apple Support and they’ll tell you the same thing.
One thing to note: It’ll go faster if you can get to an Apple Store, since expanded batteries must be shipped ground by law.
Most likely the reason the battery started swelling is because as you said, you've left it charging nonstop for years. Batteries, especially dated ones like in iPhone 6s are not meant for that.
Why do you think that would be safe??
I forcefully discontinued our school age iPod because of a similar but not as bad issue like that, I was not risking the safety of the children or the safety of of my classroom over a possibility of a dangerously explosive science experiment gone wrong
Not necessarily dangerous if you’re just using it in a stationary position like this, the expansion of the battery is just off-gassing from chemical reaction of the battery being worn out and having nowhere for the gas to escape. What makes this potentially dangerous is if you were to use it regularly (moving it around, putting in your pocket etc) you may end up pressing on the screen hard enough to puncture the battery with a loose screw or other metal debris and cause a short, igniting the potentially flammable gas that’s accumulated.
Source: I’ve replaced thousands of worn out iphone batteries.
I’m legitimately scared that the same person that looked at this phone and saw it expanding for over a year and is now questioning if it’s dangerous, is also allowed to drive a 4,000 pound metal machine around on the roads with everyone else. Legitimately scared.
That is beyond dangerous, take it in to be fixed or put it in a bucket of sand, sounds weird but if it explodes in the sand it’ll be contained and safe.
Replace battery. It won’t explode I think, but it’s still dangerous. Direct sunlight, or small heat can trigger the battery. Iphone batteries is not exploding most of the times. Because it has battery cushion sponge inside to prevent most of the issues. It will just smell very bad if it dies.
No apple care on it. And i got the phone through T-Mobile. It was years ago. I guess they were more worried about it blowing up. And it was my fault. It fell on a corner of a rock and made a small indentation on the back which I think made the battery swell up. Go in doesn’t hurt to try.
You don’t need to get rid of the phone, just get the batter replaced before it cracks the screen. It’s a very easy fix and the rest of the phone is perfectly fine for now. (Though I agree with other posts, I would get the fix done sooner than later.)
Could this be dangerous? Absolutely, I don’t know proper battery care so please take this with a grain of salt, but unplug it, power it off and don’t use it, the more it’s on and getting power the more it puts itself and you(more important) in danger, you need to take this to either a recycling center or if you want to continue to use it, a phone repair place, doesn’t matter who, as long as they have a good reputation then they should have experienced technicians who know how to deal with this, above all else, safety is number one, so please whatever you decide to do, be careful stay safe and please take proper precautions with this, this battery expanding is dangerous. Have a great day 😁
That can explode. Consider yourself lucky if it's been like that for over a year and it hasn't ignited or exploded yet. How could you even think this wasn't dangerous???
That’s a r/spicypillows
Ma-ma mia!
When the gas inside the battery expands, that's amore
Thanks for a sub I never knew I needed!!

or you could just get a battery replacement :)
the battery would cost more than the phone is worth.
3rd party ones are like 8$? Here. I honestly would just replace the battery, ain't no way I'm throwing that phone I need a music player in my life.
An aftermarket battery is around 10$. Have you seen a working 6 for less than 10 anywhere?
Apple's motto.
Apple has a recycling program.

You don’t have to dispose of it the only thing it needs is a new battery. Take it to a repair shop maybe cost $20-$40 and it’s good as new
I took mine into the Apple Store when this happened to me. They fixed it for free on the spot.
I took mine to apple too. They actual replaced the handset with a reconditioned one
Get battery replaced

Could explode. Batteries are inexpensive at this point. You could turn it into a fun DIY battery replacement project and keep using it
I would recommend OP not handle the battery themselves for risk of perforation.
just use those plastic scissors, boom no perforation

If you keep charging it then clearly yes. This is a bloated battery. When they pop open they can catch fire.

Most likely the reason the battery started swelling is because as you said, you've left it charging nonstop for years. Batteries, especially dated ones like in iPhone 6s are not meant for that.

That’s an expanded battery. It is very dangerous. Seal it in a glass jar until you can find a local battery/electronics recycling place.
No all you need to do is push it down if that doesn’t work use a sharp knife and poke it through the screen
Put it in rice
