replacing a battery

The battery in my phone burned out, so I ordered a 
replacement from Amazon. 
 
Examining the case, I can't find any fasteners. 
Do I open it with an oyster knife?

     Check YouTube.   It's surprising how many people put how to 
videos on it.   Rumble might have some too.

A sharpened paint scraper is the unofficial tool of choice.

Be careful though missing fingers are hard to replace.

     iphones were never designed to be repaired.

   You Tube is your friend.

If you want to make an "official tool purchase" to ameliorate
the lawyers, buy a "spudger" on fleabay or amazon :)
E.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273230031587

I recently had to replace the timer on our clothes washer. I would
have really messed up without YouTube.

It may take a while to find it, but Youtube has repair/replace for 
allmost anything that has been made.  Ioften go there even if I think I 
know that to do as there is often a small bit of information that makes 
the job much easier.  YOu do have to pay attention as some of the advice 
will really mess up you item as some do not know what they are doing.

iPhones use screws, they are special screws but the matching screwdrivers are easy to get these days.

Not sure what version but here is a place you can get a kit fro about $ 
30 including the battery to do the job.  There is vidio on how it is 
done.  From a quick look you force it open and there are screws inside 
to hold some things in.

   Maybe you are talking about an Apple 'phone made by slave labor in 
Communist China..
