✨ Screens for iPhone 16 Plus: Restore Clarity to Your Vision
One of the most exposed components, and therefore most susceptible to damage, is the screen. An unfortunate drop, a knock, or even pressure can cause cracks, dead pixels, or touch issues. At iLevante.com, we offer various options to replace your iPhone 16 Plus screen, tailored to your needs and budget:
- Original Screens (OEM Service Pack): These are the highest quality option, identical to the one your iPhone has from the factory. They guarantee the best colour reproduction, brightness, touch response, and durability, including perfect integration of the Dynamic Island and Ceramic Shield resistance.
- OLED Screens (Soft OLED): Considered the best aftermarket alternative. They use a flexible OLED substrate, very similar to the original, offering excellent image quality, intense colours, deep blacks, and good durability. They are a premium option if you're looking for a high-quality repair without the exact cost of an original.
- OLED Screens (Hard OLED): They also offer good image quality thanks to OLED technology but use a rigid substrate. This makes them slightly more fragile than Soft OLEDs and, occasionally, they might have slightly thicker bezels or a slight variation in colour tone. Their price is more competitive.
- INCELL Screens: This LCD technology integrates the touch panel into the LCD screen itself. Although a more economical option, they represent a significant downgrade for an iPhone 16 Plus that originally has an OLED screen. Colour quality, contrast, and viewing angles will be inferior.
- TFT Screens: These are the most basic and economical LCD option. Their image quality and viewing angles are limited compared to OLEDs. Although functional, they are not recommended for a device of the iPhone 16 Plus's calibre if you wish to maintain a visual experience similar to the original.
Which screen to choose? To maintain the integrity and premium experience of your iPhone 16 Plus, we recommend opting for Original or Soft OLED screens. If budget is a determining factor, a Hard OLED can be a viable alternative. Choosing an INCELL or TFT screen will noticeably affect visual quality.
A technical note: When replacing the screen, especially on recent models like the iPhone 16 Plus, it's crucial to ensure the correct transfer of certain data (like True Tone, if the original screen's chip isn't transplanted or reprogrammed) and the functionality of sensors associated with the Dynamic Island. Using low-quality spare parts can lead to compatibility issues or loss of functions.
🔋 Battery for iPhone 16 Plus: Renewed Energy for Your Device
The iPhone 16 Plus is expected to be equipped with a high-capacity lithium-ion battery, possibly around 4674 mAh, offering excellent battery life. However, all batteries have a limited lifespan and, with time and charge cycles, their ability to retain energy diminishes.
How to know if your iPhone 16 Plus battery is faulty or needs replacing?
- Your iPhone drains much faster than before.
- It shuts down unexpectedly, even with remaining battery percentage.
- The phone's performance has noticeably decreased (iOS may slow down performance to protect severely degraded batteries).
- In Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging, the "Maximum Capacity" is below 80% or a service message appears.
- The battery overheats excessively during charging or normal use.
- In extreme cases, the battery may swell, deforming the phone's chassis or lifting the screen. Warning! A swollen battery is dangerous and must be replaced immediately by a professional.
Brief guide on how to change the battery (General Procedure):
- Turn off the iPhone and remove the two Pentalobe screws located on either side of the USB-C port.
- Apply moderate heat to the edges of the screen to soften the waterproof adhesive.
- Use a suction cup and plastic opening tools to carefully lift the screen. Open it cautiously, being mindful of the fragile flex cables connecting it to the logic board.
- ALWAYS disconnect the battery connector first to avoid short circuits. Then, disconnect the screen flex cables.
- Remove the adhesive strips holding the battery to the chassis. This may require pulling them in a specific way or applying a little isopropyl alcohol to dissolve the adhesive. Do not puncture or bend the battery.
- Place the new battery, secure it with new adhesive strips if necessary, and reconnect its flex cable.
- Reconnect the screen flex cables, secure the metal shields, and close the phone. Replace the Pentalobe screws.
About OEM batteries without a logo: An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) battery is, in theory, manufactured by the same company that supplies Apple. These batteries can offer quality and performance identical to the originals but are sometimes marketed without the Apple logo for the spare parts market. They are an excellent option if you are certain of their origin and quality. However, the term "OEM" is sometimes used loosely. At iLevante.com, we strive to offer the highest quality batteries, whether original or from reputable manufacturers that meet the most demanding standards. It's important to know that iOS may display an "unknown part" message if the battery is not recognised as genuine by the system, even if it works perfectly.
🛡️ Back Covers for iPhone 16 Plus: Restore Your Mobile's Elegance
The glass back of the iPhone 16 Plus, although resistant, can break after a fall. A cracked back cover not only affects the aesthetics but can also compromise water resistance and expose internal components to damage.
Changing the back cover is one of the most complex repairs on iPhones. The glass is strongly adhered to the frame and very close to sensitive components like the wireless charging coil or the button flex cables.
General back cover replacement process (may vary):
- Manual method: Requires applying intense and constant heat with a heat gun to soften the strong adhesive. Then, with prying tools and a lot of patience, the broken glass fragments are removed. It's a laborious process with a risk of damaging other components if you lack experience.
- Laser machine: Professional repair services often use special laser machines that burn away the adhesive under the glass, making it easier to remove without applying as much brute force and reducing the risk of damage.
Once the damaged glass is removed and the frame is cleaned of adhesive residue, new adhesive is applied, and the replacement back cover is fitted. At iLevante.com, you'll find back covers that meet quality standards so your iPhone 16 Plus can regain its flawless appearance.
⚙️ Essential Spare Parts for Your iPhone 16 Plus: Solutions to Common Problems
Beyond screens and batteries, other components can fail. Here are some of the most in-demand spare parts for the iPhone 16 Plus and similar models, with relevant information:
- Magnetic Ring for iPhone 16 and 16 Plus (internal or for cases): The MagSafe system uses a set of magnets. If the phone's internal ring is damaged (very rare, usually from a strong impact), it would affect wireless charging and accessory attachment. More commonly, magnetic rings are sold to stick to cases to make them MagSafe compatible.
- Wi-Fi Antenna Flex for iPhone 16 Plus: Essential for wireless connectivity. If you experience weak Wi-Fi signal, frequent disconnections, or an inability to connect to networks (and you've ruled out software or router issues), this flex cable may be damaged, often from a knock or during a previous repair. The iPhone 16 Plus is expected to feature Wi-Fi 7, so a quality replacement is crucial.
- Rear Camera Bezel for iPhone 16 / 16 Plus: These metal rings protect the camera lenses. If they get scratched, dented, or broken, they not only affect the aesthetics but can leave the lenses exposed to further damage. They are often replaced along with the lens if both are affected.
- Earpiece Speaker Flex Assembly for iPhone 16 Plus: This component includes the speaker you use to listen during calls, but it can also integrate vital sensors like the proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, and TrueDepth system components for Face ID (such as the dot projector or flood illuminator). If you have audio issues during calls, the proximity sensor doesn't work, or, in critical cases, Face ID fails, this flex cable could be the culprit. Caution! Replacing certain components on this flex cable can disable Face ID if a specific chip micro-transplant isn't performed or if calibrated original parts are not used.
- Rear Camera Lens for iPhone 16 and 16 Plus: The sapphire crystal covering each lens is very resistant but not indestructible. A direct impact can crack or shatter it. This will result in blurry photos, spots, or flare. Replacing just the lens glass is a delicate repair that requires precision.
- Vibrator (Taptic Engine) for iPhone 16 Plus: Apple uses the Taptic Engine to generate haptic feedback. If your iPhone stops vibrating, the vibration is weak, erratic, or sounds strange, the Taptic Engine likely needs replacing.
- 20W USB-C Charger (or higher) for iPhone and iPad: Although not an internal spare part, a quality charger is vital. The iPhone 16 Plus uses USB-C. A 20W charger provides fast charging. If your charger fails, make sure to replace it with a certified one to avoid damaging your iPhone's battery or charging port.
🔧 Other Important Spare Parts for Your iPhone 16 Plus
The complexity of an iPhone means a large number of small components may need replacing:
- Charging Port Flex (USB-C Port): If your iPhone 16 Plus doesn't charge, charges intermittently, or isn't recognised by your computer, the USB-C port or its associated flex cable (which often includes lower microphones) could be damaged from wear, dirt, or a tug on the cable.
- Volume Buttons and Action Button Flex Cable: If these buttons don't respond, are stuck, or work erratically.
- Power Button (Side Button) Flex Cable: Similar to the above, for issues with the power/lock button.
- Loudspeaker: If the sound from your videos, music, or the speakerphone during calls is low, distorted, or non-existent.
- Microphones: iPhones have multiple microphones. If people can't hear you well on calls, Siri doesn't understand you, or your videos have poor audio, one of them might be faulty.
- Front Camera (TrueDepth System): If the selfie camera fails or you have Face ID issues not related to the earpiece flex. Its replacement is complex and can affect Face ID.
- SIM Tray (on international models that retain it): If lost or damaged.
- Internal Screws and Brackets: It's crucial to use the correct screws in each place during a repair. Full screw kits are available.
🩺 Common Hardware Problems in the iPhone 16 Plus and Their Solutions
The most common hardware problems leading to a repair usually are:
- Cracked screen: The number one cause. Solution: screen replacement.
- Worn-out battery: Loss of battery life. Solution: battery replacement.
- Charging port issues: Due to use or dirt. Solution: cleaning or charging port flex replacement.
- Liquid damage: Can affect multiple components. Requires professional diagnosis.
- Cameras not working or poor quality: Broken lenses, focus failures. Solution: lens or camera module replacement.

At iLevante.com, we provide you with the spare parts to undertake these repairs, whether you're an experienced technician or a handy user кто dare to repair (always at your own risk and with proper research).
💡 Software vs. Hardware: iPhone 16 Plus Issues from a Technical Perspective
Sometimes, a problem that seems like hardware can originate from software. As technicians, it's important to consider this before opening a device:
- Unexpected reboots or freezes: Can be caused by a conflicting app, lack of storage, or an iOS error. A forced restart, updating iOS, or even a factory reset (after a backup!) can solve it. If it persists, it could be a logic board or battery issue.
- Slow performance: Often software-related (many apps in the background, full storage, outdated iOS). Optimising the system can help.
- Connectivity issues (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data): Before blaming an antenna, try resetting network settings, updating iOS, or checking with your carrier.
- Overheating: Some demanding apps or indexing after an update can cause it temporarily. If it's persistent and without an apparent cause, it could be the battery or logic board.
- Touch interface failures (ghost touch, dead zones): Sometimes, a software error can cause this. A restart or restore are the first steps. If not, the screen is the suspect.
Ruling out software problems is a crucial step in diagnosis. For a technician, this involves knowing iOS restore procedures via recovery or DFU mode, and being aware of known bugs in each operating system version.
🛠️ Basic Guide for Common iPhone 16 Plus Repairs (General Considerations)
If you decide to undertake a repair yourself, keep these general steps and tips in mind. Remember that repairing an iPhone is delicate, and you can damage the device if you're not careful or don't have the right tools. Proceed at your own risk.
- Research thoroughly: Look for specific guides (videos, written tutorials) for your exact model (iPhone 16 Plus) and the part you're replacing.
- Get the right tools: An iPhone repair kit is essential (Pentalobe, Phillips, Y-Type screwdrivers, suction cups, plastic picks, spudgers, anti-static tweezers).
- Organisation: Prepare a clean, well-lit, and tidy workspace. Use a magnetic mat or containers to organise the tiny screws. A misplaced screw can cause serious damage!
- Safety first: Always disconnect the battery as soon as you have access to its connector to avoid short circuits. Use an anti-static wrist strap.
- Patience and care: Don't force parts. Flex cables are very fragile. If something doesn't fit, recheck the steps.
- Adhesives: Many components (screen, battery, back cover) use adhesives. You'll need to apply moderate heat to soften them and, when reinstalling, use new adhesives to ensure a good seal (although factory water resistance is difficult to fully restore in DIY repairs).
Repairs like screen or battery replacement are feasible for users with some skill, but others, like logic board or soldered component repairs, require microelectronics knowledge and equipment.
