Introduction
Use this guide to replace a broken, cracked, or non‑responsive screen on your iPhone 16 Plus.
You'll need replacement screen adhesive to complete this repair.
Note: Since you can't disconnect the battery during this repair, make sure your phone stays powered down, don't use metal prying tools, and be careful not to touch exposed contacts.
After a screen replacement, True Tone and auto brightness may be disabled. Calibrate genuine screens using Apple's Repair Assistant to restore this functionality.

With the screen facing up, slide the arms over the right edge of your phone, with one suction cup on the screen and the other on the back glass. Center the suction cups near the bottom edge.

Turn the handle one full turn (360 degrees) or until the cups start to stretch.
