Following today's launch of the new iPhone 16 models, Apple has shared repair manuals for the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The repair manuals provide technical instructions on replacing genuine Apple parts in the ‌iPhone 16‌ models, and Apple says the information is intended for "individual technicians" that have the "knowledge, experience, and tools" that are necessary to repair electronic devices.

And they've almost certainly only released this due to the upcoming EU laws related to user replaceable batteries and wider right to repair.

Apple isn't doing this because they grew a conscience. They're doing it because it's a legal requirement they can't lobby (bribe) their way out of.

Never forget. Corporations are not your friend, and never will be.

As far as releasing these manuals and making parts available is concerned, we already have these laws going into effect in the US
