Apple Launches Self-Repair Program for iPhone 16: Access Official Spare Parts and Save on Repairs

Telset.id, Jakarta – Apple continues to innovate in providing better services to its users, including in terms of device repair. Now, iPhone 16 users, including the Plus, Pro, and Pro Max variants, can get official spare parts to repair their own devices.

This step to provide spare parts for iPhone 16 is part of Apple’s initiative which aims to provide convenience and flexibility to the users in repairing their iPhones.

Through Apple’s self-repair program, users can choose different types of additional parts for their iPhone 16, such as back glass, battery, camera, main speaker, TrueDepth camera, SIM tray and more. These components are available making the iPhone 16 easier to repair than before.

In this case, the iPhone 16 received a score of 7/10 in repair according to iFixit, which is much higher than the iPhone 15 which received only 4/10.

Spare parts prices vary depending on the iPhone 16 model you have. For example, the price of the battery and screw kit for the iPhone 16 Pro Max is $ 119 or Rp.

However, Apple offers a very profitable used parts return program. If you return the old battery after replacing it, the price of a new iPhone 16 Pro Max battery can drop to about $61.88, about IDR 960 thousand.

This self-service repair program was first launched by Apple in 2022, allowing customers to access authorized parts directly from the company.

However, Apple also reminds that this service is aimed more at those who have knowledge and experience in repairing electronic devices. This is important because the repair process of the iPhone, even if it is supported by official parts, still requires special skills to be carried out safely and correctly.

With the availability of iPhone 16 spare parts, Apple is not only trying to make it easier to repair, but is also supporting sustainability efforts by reducing e-waste.
