Apple has revealed that the internal construction of the iPhones 16/16 Plus was completely “redesigned” aiming at a high level of repairabilityespecially when changing the battery, which can extend the lifespan and performance of the device.
As reported a few months ago, it was speculated that the iPhone 16 would have its internals redesigned to make it easier to replace the battery. This was confirmed by the company with the launch of the new models:
The internal design of iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus has also been redesigned to accommodate a larger battery and better dissipate heat, as well as make battery repairs easier.
As you can see, this only refers to the entry-level/mid-range models, and not the top-of-the-line models — so it’s not clear if they all have the same battery-related changes, so we’ll have to wait for the first teardowns of these models to confirm (or not) this.
These internal reformulations certainly contribute to Apple’s compliance with a European law that will come into force from 2025. The legislation provides for a series of requirements on the issue of batteries in general:
- Fasteners must be provided or reusable.
- The replacement process must be feasible without tools, or with a tool set provided with the product or replacement part, or basic tools.
- The replacement process must be able to be carried out in a usage environment.
- The replacement process must be able to be carried out by a layperson.
As we reported, pre-sales of the iPhone 16 will begin next Friday (9/13) in some countries; in Brazil, it is scheduled for September 24.
