Changing the iPhone 16 battery gets even easier with this new tool — here’s what we know

IPhone 16 family.

If you have recently bought a new iPhone 16, perhaps as part of the Prime Day Sale, then you'll be glad to know that iFixit has a new tool to help replace the battery.

Apple has worked to make the iPhone 16 series much easier to repair thanks to three changes in design. One of the most important is the new bonding agent for the battery. In the past, batteries were held in place by hard-to-remove tape that could damage the phone if the user tried to force the battery out. However, Apple's iPhone 16 series batteries can be removed with low-voltage current, making them much safer to pop out at home.
