iFixit now sells a USB-powered tool for removing the iPhone 16’s battery
Don’t steal the nine volts from your smoke detector.
The VoltClip, available now for $10.95 through iFixit’s online store, features a pair of alligator clips attached to short wires on one end and a 12V DC adapter on the other that converts a barrel connector to a USB-C port. Apple’s repair documents say that using up to 30 volts of power “will result in faster removal times,” but iFixit wanted to “keep things simple and low cost out of the gate” for the first iteration of the VoltClip. iFixit plans to eventually bundle the VoltClip with iPhone 16 battery repair kits, though those aren’t expected for at least a few months.
