Apple has made repair manuals available for its entire range of new devices: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Proe iPhone 16 Pro Max. These technical manuals provide detailed instructions for replacing original Apple components, especially for technicians with advanced skills in electronics repair.
An interesting aspect of the new models iPhone 16 e iPhone 16 Plus is the greater ease in repair operations compared to previous versions. Apple has introduced a battery removal process based on electricitya first for the company. Following Apple’s detailed instructions, technicians can use a 9-volt battery and special clamps to dissolve the adhesive holding the battery to the device. This makes battery replacement faster and less complicated.
However, this new technology is limited only to the base models, namely the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. For the models iPhone 16 Pro e Pro MaxApple continues to use the classic adhesive tabs that require a delicate manual extraction to avoid damage.
Despite the improvements, DIY repairs are not within everyone’s reach. Apple’s instructions for replacing the battery, for example, require the use of expensive equipment, such as a battery press specific to iPhone, needed to properly position a replacement battery. The high cost of these tools, combined with the price of original components, makes self-repair almost as expensive as a repair at an Apple Store or authorized service center. This suggests that repair manuals are primarily aimed at independent repair shopsrather than to consumers.
Apple has made some other interesting changes to the internal structure of the iPhone 16 to make it more easily repairable. For example, you can now configure the Face ID directly on the device after a repair and repairs can be performed on the scanner LiDAR . Additionally, Apple now supports swapping camera modules TrueDepth among the iPhone 16 they iPhone 16 Proincreasing flexibility during repairs.
In addition to providing detailed repair instructions, these manuals also offer an in-depth look at the internals of new iPhones, which are usually explored only through teardowns. Interestingly, the model iPhone 16 Pro presents a metal case for the batteryintroduced to improve heat dissipation. Additionally, both iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max feature a new internal design that further improves thermal management, confirming Apple’s continued focus on the thermal efficiency of its devices.
