iPhone 16 Plus Microphone Installation

Peel away the new adhesive strip from its white liner, keeping the blue liner in place.

Align the two holes in the adhesive with the three holes in the microphone, and stick it into place.

Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the blue plastic liner.

Align the microphone with its screw holes and set it into the frame.

Press the microphone against the bottom edge of the frame once it's perfectly aligned.

Partially install (don't fully tighten) the four screws securing the microphone:

One 3.3 mm‑long standoff screw

One 1.3 mm‑long tri-point Y000 screw

One 1.5 mm‑long Phillips screw

One 1.3 mm‑long Phillips screw

Squeeze the microphone against the bottom of the frame for 15 seconds to compress the adhesive.

Fully tighten the four screws securing the microphone to the frame:

Two Phillips screws

One Tri-point Y000 screw

One Standoff screw

Use the flat end of a spudger to connect the microphone's press connector.
