iFixit Launches VoltClip for Easier iPhone 16 Battery Removal

The new tool simplifies battery replacement with a low-voltage electric current, enhancing repairability for iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models.

  • iFixit's VoltClip is a USB-powered tool designed to remove the iPhone 16's battery by debonding its adhesive with low-voltage electricity.
  • The tool uses 9-12V of power to facilitate battery removal in about 60 to 90 seconds, making the process quicker and safer.
  • Priced at $10.95, the VoltClip requires a USB-C PD power source, which is not included in the purchase.
  • The new adhesive removal method is exclusive to the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, while Pro models retain traditional stretch-release adhesives.
  • iFixit plans to integrate the VoltClip into future iPhone 16 battery repair kits, enhancing accessibility for DIY repairs.
