it house news on september 27th, technology media macrumors published a blog post today (september 27th), reporting that the repair team ifixit team disassembled two models of iphone 16 pro and iphone 16 pro max.

battery

iphone 16 and iphone 16 plus adopt a new battery removal method.users can use 9v low-voltage current to flow through the new ionic liquid battery adhesive to easily remove the battery from the body., this method makes battery removal faster and safer than previous stretch-release adhesives.

however, the two more expensive models, iphone 16 pro and iphone 16 pro max, do not use the above solution, but traditional stretch release glue.

another thing to note is that the iphone 16 pro, like the iphone 16 and iphone 16 plus, has a battery wrapped in metal;the iphone 16 pro max does not have a metal casing, the reason is currently unclear. it home attaches relevant pictures as follows:

optimize lidar scanner position

apple has adjusted the position of the lidar scanner to make it easier to repair. in previous iphone pro models, the lidar scanner was located below the main camera assembly.

camera module

the camera module doesn't change much, but it's not completely interchangeable as the cable lengths are different and the screws are in two different places inside each model.

mmwave signal

ifixit said that due to the titanium frame of the iphone 16 pro models, mmwave signals may still be affected.

simplified usb-c port removal

apple simplifies usb-c port removal, but apple doesn't sell replacement usb-c ports.

design adjustments

users can simply remove the upper speaker assembly to pull out the logic board, which is a major improvement to the design.

maintenance score

ifixit gave the iphone 16 pro models a 7 out of 10 for repairability due to design changes and the availability of repair manuals.
