For those ready to take on this task, a good place to start is iFixit, which offers very in-depth explainers of how to proceed for example, here is one to use if you own an iPhone There are also a variety of YouTube videos available that offer step-by-step instructions.
The process involves unscrewing the back of the phone, mildly heating the lower edge of the phone, using suction cups to remove the display, and follow several steps to remove and replace the battery. You can either ship in your phone for repairs or head to an Apple store. A physical store repair could be completed in one visit or, in more complex cases, take up to three to five days, according to Apple.

Update September 17th, , PM ET: This article was originally published on December 21st, , and has been updated to account for service, device, and OS changes. My iPhone 6 needed a new battery. Here's what happened when I replaced it myself at home. But that excitement quickly dwindled when I realized the battery had aged to the point where the software throttled its performance. But instead of casting off the phone and getting buyer's remorse, I decided to buy a replacement battery and tools from iFixit to have a go at replacing the battery myself.
After an hour of work, I swapped out the battery, and the iPhone 6 was running perfectly again. I'm not giving step-by-step instructions here -- head to iFixit and grab a kit if that's what you're after -- but I do want to describe my experience, including how easy this was to do, and hopefully answer some of the questions you may have if you also need a new battery.
Batteries age over time, and considering that the iPhone 6 was released six years ago, it was no surprise that the one I bought wasn't running in prime condition. One time, the phone unexpectedly restarted while in use, and it flashed a warning dialogue that read, "This iPhone has experienced an unexpected shutdown because the battery was unable to deliver the necessary peak power.
Performance management has been applied to help prevent this from happening again. In short, a phone's performance can be throttled if it can no longer cope with power demands.
There is the option to turn throttling off, but this will result in more frequent crashes.
