I damage wireless charging circuit

Hello, today I try to change my iPhone 8 Plus battery but the glue was so strong so I take a knife to get the battery out of place. So, the battery was taken out but I damage the half (black thing under the battery) wireless charging circuit. The phone is working good, but I want to ask if this damage will make any issues in the future.


thanks

iPhone 8 Plus

Can't be sure as I'm not sure what exactly happened to your iPhone. It could be fine or it could be dangerous. I really can't tell just from your description. Perhaps there aren't Apple Stores, but I'm pretty sure that Apple's service provider network exists in most countries and definitely in countries where the product is sold through official channels. But at this point it's probably better to find out where there's a good third party repair shop in case you have any further problems.


There may be better places to discuss this like DIY repair forums.


And I don't judge anyone for seeking third party repair or perhaps self repair. I've done it myself, although I went in knowing the risks if something went wrong.

Maybe... We are not psychic. We don't know how much damage you caused or what, exactly, was damaged.


Installing a non-Apple battery, which is all you would have access to since Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all, is dangerous enough as it is. Every documented case of an iPhone catching fire or 'exploding' can be tracked back to a botched installation of a knockoff, counterfeit, or salvaged battery by an unauthorized party.
