Apple has begun selling repair parts for iPhone 16 and 16 Pro phones on its self-service repair store. That includes replacements for commonly damaged parts like cameras, displays, and back glass, and follows the release of official Apple iPhone 16 repair manuals in September, as MacRumors notes.
A replacement camera assembly will run you $169 for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus or $249 for the 16 Pro and Pro Max. And new displays range from $279 to $379, depending on the model. Batteries are either $99 or, for the 16 Pro phones, $119. And if you don’t have the tools, you can always rent out one of Apple’s heavy, specialized repair kits for $49.
Taking on a DIY iPhone repair isn’t quite as dicey as it once was, thanks to Apple’s gradual shift towards repairability. It’s also generally cheaper than paying someone else, especially if you can get your hands on used replacement parts, something Apple officially supports now. More affordable third-party components like batteries and displays may be a viable choice soon, too, after the company said it will offer better support for them this year.
