Hello, iLevante community! ? If you're already thinking about the future of Apple and are curious about what comes after the iPhone 15, you've come to the right place. Today we dive into one of the most anticipated and rumored models: the hypothetical iPhone 16e. A device that, according to leaks, could be the perfect option for those seeking cutting-edge technology without opting for the Pro models.
In this article, we'll break down all the specifications, dimensions, and possible repairs of this future device. Because at iLevante.com, we not only sell you the spare parts, but we also provide the information you need to know your phone inside and out.
Think of the iPhone 16e as the "essential" of the new generation. It's not an SE with an old design, nor a Pro with all the bells and whistles. It would be the perfect balance: a modern design, a next-generation processor, and some intelligent concessions to maintain an attractive price. It would be the spiritual successor to the standard models but with an even clearer focus on value for money.
This approach makes it an ideal candidate to become one of the most popular phones and, therefore, one of the ones we'll see the most in repair shops! That's why knowing its components is key.
Based on the most solid rumors and Apple's historical strategy, we've put together a spec sheet of what we can expect. Here are the key components and spare parts you'll probably find in our online store iLevante.com to keep it like new.
For the more technical among you and those looking for the perfect case ahead of time, here?s a table with the estimated measurements of the device. These dimensions are crucial when buying replacements like the chassis or screen adhesives.
Feature | Measurement / Specification |
---|---|
Height | ~ 147.6 mm |
Width | ~ 71.6 mm |
Thickness | ~ 7.8 mm |
Weight | ~ 173 g |
Screen Size | 6.1 inches |
Screen Resolution | 2556 x 1179 pixels |
Screen replacement is the most common repair, but in modern iPhones, it's a more delicate operation than it seems. If not done correctly, you could lose vital functions. Here, we list the most common issues to consider before getting started.
The Problem: Suddenly, the iPhone doesn't recognize your face, and you can't unlock it or authorize payments. Why does this happen?
The Technical Cause: The Face ID system relies on a set of sensors (dot projector, infrared camera, etc.) that are on a small and delicate flex cable attached to the back of your original screen. This sensor set is digitally paired with your iPhone's motherboard from the factory. If during repair, when detaching this flex from the broken screen to pass it to the new one, it gets damaged, a micro-circuit breaks, or the cable tears, the connection is lost, and Face ID dies permanently. It's not an Apple software lock?it's a hardware failure!
Prevention: Maximum delicacy. Use moderate heat (with a heat gun or an iOpener) to soften the adhesive and use very thin plastic tools to carefully detach the flex without applying tension or bending it abruptly.
The Problem: After changing the screen, the colors look fine, but you've lost the True Tone function, which automatically adjusts the screen's white balance to ambient light.
The Technical Cause: Each iPhone screen has a small memory chip that stores its unique code or serial number. The motherboard reads this code to enable the True Tone function. When you install a new screen (even an original one taken from another iPhone), it has a different code. The motherboard doesn't recognize it and disables the function for security reasons.
Prevention and Solution: The only way to avoid this is with a special tool called a screen data programmer. This device allows you to read the code from the broken original screen and "write" or clone it into the chip of the new screen. If you don't have access to this tool, unfortunately, you'll lose the function.
The Problem: You install the new screen, and bright spots, vertical lines, or areas that don't respond to touch appear.
The Technical Cause: This is usually due to a poor connection of the screen's flex cables to the motherboard or excessive pressure applied on them during assembly, damaging the connectors or the cable itself.
Prevention: Before closing the phone, connect the new screen and turn on the device to test that everything works (image, touch, etc.). Make sure the connectors "click" gently into place and aren't forced. Always use the frame adhesive (like those sold at iLevante.com) to ensure a perfect seal and avoid pressure points.
