Hello:) First of all this is dangerous...follow these steps.


How to handle an iPhone, Mac, or Apple Watch with a swollen battery

  1. Don’t press on the swollen battery (or screen or casing that’s popping up)
  2. Stop charging the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, or other device that has a swollen battery
  3. Power down your device
  4. Take it to your local Apple Store or nearest AASP (all Best Buy locations are AASPs) for replacement or proper recycling (appointments for the Genius Bar are a good idea if possible)

A swollen battery can present a fire safety risk, so it's important to take caution with any device that has an expanded battery. It's also important to note that swollen batteries can't be fixed or healed, just recycled and replaced. This info is on 9to5mac.com.


Please be extremely careful as your personal safety means more than an iphone as they are replaceable.
