iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max Microsoldering Repair
The newest iPhone generation we support at the board level. As the newest board on our list, every repair here — including the bottom board swap — shares a single price across the whole 16 lineup.
We ship your device to our third-party repair partner, who performs the board-level work in their clean, dedicated microsoldering facility. Lake Forest Computer handles intake, logistics, insurance and communication end to end — you deal with us, not them. Current lead time is 4–6 weeks door to door. All parcels ship USPS with signature required.

What these faults actually are
One flat price, every repair on this page
Unlike earlier generations, the bottom board swap on the 16 series costs the same as the simpler repairs above it. We still diagnose which fix your phone actually needs before starting — the flat pricing just means you're not penalized if it turns out to be the more involved repair.
As the newest board we support, expect careful diagnosis
Board-level parts and reference data for the newest iPhone generation are still maturing industry-wide. We diagnose thoroughly before committing to a repair and will tell you plainly if a fault on a 16-series board isn't yet safely repairable.
How depot repair works
You contact us and describe the fault. We confirm the price from the table above, take payment for shipping, and send you the details to get the device to the depot. Our repair partner diagnoses it, performs the board-level work, and tests it. It ships back to you USPS with signature required. Door to door, budget 4–6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is every repair the same price on this page?
On this generation the bottom-board-swap repair doesn't cost more than the simpler faults to perform, so we pass that through as one flat price rather than a range.
Will I lose my data?
No, aside from CPU-swap data recovery work, which is destructive and always confirmed first.
What if the repair is unsuccessful?
No fee in most cases, return shipping only. A $60 bench fee applies to devices already opened elsewhere.
