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.
