iPhone 16e Gets Self-Repair Option: Here’s What You Need to Know

Apple has expanded its Self-Repair Program to include the iPhone 16e, providing owners with tools and instructions for repairing their device's display and other components. The program offers a series of written and video guides that walk users through the delicate process of opening up their iPhone and accessing parts like the display. Apple rents out 21 specialized tools needed for repairs for $49.99 per week, but does not include replacement parts which must be purchased separately. For instance, replacing the display costs around $229 plus additional accessories, bringing the total to approximately $294.20. Despite these options, many experts, including a former Apple service insider, recommend getting repairs done by professionals or opting for AppleCare coverage instead.
