Apple’s done a lot to make iPhones easier to repair over the years, especially with things like the Self Repair Program and a redesign that allows repair technicians to open iPhones from the front or back — depending on the repair in question. But with the iPhone 16, Apple has confirmed it’s taking repairability to a whole new level.
According to Apple, the iPhone 16 has been designed for longevity in mind, following three core tenets: Durability, repairability and ongoing software updates. Durability and ongoing software updates are both things Apple has been doing for many years now, and this year has seen some key changes to improve the repairability aspect of the phone.
