Hey, so Apple just made it way easier to repair the new iPhone 16 series yourself. They’ve expanded their self-repair program to include all the iPhone 16 models, and now you can order genuine parts directly from their site—stuff like screens, batteries, cameras, you name it. The repair guides are pretty detailed, and there’s even a new "Repair Assistant" in iOS 18 that makes pairing replacement parts smoother.
Prices vary, though—like, a basic camera module is around $169, while the Pro version costs $249. Apple also tweaked the design slightly to make some parts, like the battery and back panel, easier to replace. But honestly, it’s still pretty intricate work; they even offer a $49 rental kit if you don’t have the tools. So yeah, doable if you’re careful, but not exactly beginner-friendly!
