If you’ve already smashed your iPhone 16 screen or destroyed its battery somehow, repair parts for Apple’s latest smartphone are now available on its self-service website.
As MacRumors reports, users can now purchase replacements for the iPhone 16’s displays, battery, back glass, cameras, speakers, primary microphone, and more. Apple already shared repair manuals for all four iPhone 16 models in September, and now the necessary parts and tools are available to customers.
A replacement iPhone 16 display costs between $279 and $379, depending on the model. An iPhone 16 or 16 Pro back glass will cost $169, whereas a 16 Plus or Pro Max back glass will cost $199. Batteries for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are $99; the same for iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models are $119.
As PCMag reports, Apple is also renting out repair toolkits. A set costs $49 a week. Once you have the parts and tools, you can refer to the repair manuals released in September to complete your DIY repair session. While Apple encourages self-service repair, it warns that only those “experienced with the complexities of repairing electronic devices” should do it.
Launched in 2022, Apple’s self-service program provides customers with access to genuine parts, tools, and manuals to repair select iPhones and Macs, as well as the Studio Display. The company has said the program is “intended for individuals who are experienced with the complexities of repairing electronic devices.” Some of the repair manuals on Apple’s website have warnings outlining important information, such as safety risks.
Apple iPhones have generally been hard to repair, but a recent iFixit teardown found the iPhone 16 to be the most repairable Apple smartphone. It earned a seven out of 10 repairability score, up from four on the iPhone 15.
