Introduction
Use this guide to replace the battery in your iPhone 16.
This iPhone and the iPhone 16 Plus use a battery adhesive that requires an electrical charge to loosen it. [link|https://support.apple.com/en-us/120642|Apple's repair manual|new_window=true] recommends connecting a 9V battery for 90 seconds, but you can use a power supply or a power bank at a 5–20V output instead—the time required to loosen the adhesive will vary.
The guide below recreates Apple's method of using a 9V battery. If you're using a different method, follow the guide normally and supplement your power source's operating procedures during the necessary steps.
