The new Apple iPhone 16 is much more repairable than its predecessor. So says no less an authority on the subject of digital device repairability than iFixit. The tip-top teardown troop has scored Apple's newest handset seven out of 10 for repairability, a hefty upgrade from the mere four out of 10 that the iPhone 15 scored. So, what accounts for the iPhone 16's improved repairability?
First, Apple had a full, detailed and reportedly very well-written repair manual ready to go for the launch of the new handsets. Next, the internals are well laid out for easy and independent access to numerous components.
