iPhone 16 Pro Microphone Installation

Use tweezers to remove the old microphone adhesive from the bottom of the frame.

Use isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab or lint-free cloth to clean any residual microphone adhesive from the frame.

Remove the solid white adhesive liner from the new microphone adhesive.

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

Remove the plastic backing from the microphone adhesive.

Set the microphone in the frame, aligned with its screw holes.

Partially install the three screws securing the microphone:

One 3.6 mm‑long standoff screw

One 2.9 mm‑long standoff screw

One 1.3 mm‑long tri-point Y000 screw

Press the microphone against the bottom of the frame, and hold it for 15 seconds to seal the adhesive.

Fully tighten the microphone screws.
