Repair experts are dissecting the iPhone 16 and discovering that Apple has kept its word on the controversial issue of parts pairing. Earlier this year Apple said that it would end the practice of parts pairing, where only authorized components can be used for repairs and replacements, in the iPhone 16.

As noted on Tuesday, Apple quietly took steps to improve the iPhone 16’s repairability. In addition to adding new items to the list of repairable components, the company introduced a clever new method for removing the phone’s battery. On Friday, Apple published step-by-step instructions for swapping out the new handset’s battery.
