Apple reveals how it's made the iPhone 16 series (much) easier to repair

Apple has released new updates on iPhone 16 repairability and addressed parts compatibility, ease of access and more.

Apple has slowly been making its devices easier to fix, but the iPhone 15 fell short in a couple of key areas, according to the repairability site iFixit. Namely, the battery was hard to remove and the device suffered from a "parts pairing" issue that meant you couldn't easily replace the LiDAR sensor with one from another phone. Repair shops previously needed to order official components directly from Apple and get on the phone with an employee before iOS would accept individual parts replacements.
