Turn your iPhone upside down and slide the rear window up to disengage it.

Carefully remove the rear window from your iPhone 4s.

Unscrew the cross-head screw that holds the battery connector on the motherboard.

Carefully lift the battery plug with a plastic spatula.

Grasp the plastic tab and pull it to remove the battery from the chassis.
