Phone & Device Guides

Your iPhone 16 Pro screen is black — but is the phone alive behind it? The alive-or-dead test, the safe fixes in order, and what it costs if the display or battery has failed.

An iPhone 16 Pro screen that ignores your taps is rarely a broken screen at first. Work the safe ladder — force restart, a patient charge, a bare-glass test, a computer update — and learn the signs that mean display hardware, plus Apple’s $329 screen fee.

No button-only Apple price exists for iPhone 16 Pro — the $649 tier, $99 AppleCare+, free case and grit checks, workarounds and the SOS angle.

There is no published microphone price for the iPhone 16 Pro — Apple puts a failed mic in its $649 “other damage” tier, or $99 with AppleCare+. This guide isolates which of the four studio-quality mics is failing with four quick tests, rules out permissions, cases, Bluetooth and debris, and explains the repair routes.

Crackling, quiet or silent iPhone 16 Pro speaker? Split the symptom first — earpiece or loudspeaker — run the free checks, and see what a real repair costs.

An iPhone 16 Pro that has been in water needs action before prices: power it off, do not charge it, skip the rice, and get it assessed fast. This guide covers the first hour, why liquid damage has no fixed price, Apple’s $649 tier and $99 AppleCare+ route, and how an assessed repair works.

Apple lists iPhone 16 Pro rear camera repair at $249 ($99 with AppleCare+) — but a black screen, spots, blur or a buzzing image are not all the same fault. Run the free per-lens checks first, learn what the fee covers, and see when an assessed repair makes sense.

iPhone 16 Pro back glass repair cost explained: Apple’s current $159 fee (down from the $169 launch fee), $29 with AppleCare+, the $419 combined screen-and-back fee, and the damage factors that move an independent quote.

Diagnose before you budget: swap in a known-good cable and adapter, then test MagSafe — if wireless works and wired does not, the fault sits in the cable or the port path, and compacted lint may be the whole story. If the port itself is damaged, Apple’s route prices it as “other damage” at $649 out of warranty ($99 with AppleCare+), while an independent repair is quoted after assessment.
