+====Copy Note(s)====
+To transfer a single note (ie, sending one note at a time)
+  - On your iPhone, open your Notes app.
+  - Tap one note, tap the three dots inside a circle in the upper right corner
+  - Select "Send a Copy" and then choose "Email"
+  - Send
+To copy more than just one note at a time, you need to install software to do this.\\
+Alternatively you can go to iCloud.com, login, and edit or view your notes and copy them to your computer.
+Some applications smi found via DuckDuckGo search, that may help at a cost.  Prices are as of 2/4/2024, Windows computer use.  I'm not making any recommendations as I haven't tried any of these.

+Tips when replacing battery:\\
+Before
+  * Before replacing battery, discharge phone battery to 10% or less (prevents fire risk during replacement process)
+During
+  * When removing battery from iPhone, be careful not to puncture or bend the battery
+  * Heat the phone w/hair dryer to loosen adhesive; or put in refrigerator to deactivate glue
+  * When removing adhesive, try to grab the adhesive strip with your small screwdriver turned sideways and then pull and roll the adhesive to it
+After
+  * Rick Makes suggests: Charge battery to 100%. Let it discharge completely. Charge battery to 100%.  It's calibrated.
+  * Another opinion: Calibrate the new battery.
+    * Drain phone till it dies.
+    * Charge completely don't turn it on.
+    * Then turn it on and don't touch for 30 mins.
+    * Plug in the charger and let it charge for 30 mins without using.
+    * When it's fully charged, your battery is calibrated.
