iFixit today released<\/a> a collection of all-new Fix Kits for iPhone 7 devices<\/a> that guide users through replacing batteries, cracked screens, and even the front and rear camera modules and sensors on an iPhone.<\/p>\n

The new battery Fix Kits<\/a> for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus join previous kits already available for iPhones as far back as the iPhone 4s. iFixit said that these battery replacement kits help bring a dead iPhone back to life, and include all the usual tools needed for the replacement process: a collection of screwdrivers, tweezers, iFixit’s own Opening Tool and Opening Pick, and more. Battery Fix Kits start at $44.95 for the iPhone 7 and increase to $49.95 for the iPhone 7 Plus (pictured below).<\/p>\n

The cracked screen Fix Kits<\/a> are newly available for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus as well, and include parts and tools for users to replace a broken iPhone 7 screen on their own. Contents include a custom driver, steel bits, opening tools, tweezers, and a replacement screen backed by iFixit’s lifetime guarantee, but users will have to transfer their old display’s home button assembly to retain Touch ID functions. Cracked screen Fix Kits cost $134.95 for the iPhone 7 and rise to $164.95 for the iPhone 7 Plus.<\/p>\n

There are also new iPhone 7 repair components in the Small Parts Kits<\/a> section, aimed at the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus’s Lightning Connector, front camera and sensors, and rear camera. The small parts Fix Kits vary more drastically in price, with an iPhone 7 front camera and sensor cable kit costing $34.95, and an iPhone 7 Plus Dual Rear Camera kit priced at $84.95.<\/p>\n

While each Fix Kit has a guide for users to follow, iFixit has also published a few How To videos<\/a> on its YouTube channel, including an iPhone 7-specific playlist<\/a>, to make following along to some of the repair kits even easier.<\/p>\n

Depending on the issue at hand, and the iPhone model, out-of-warranty repairs directly from Apple can cost as much as $349 for an iPhone 7 Plus<\/a>. Similar to iFixit’s recent battery replacement Fix Kits for MacBook Pro devices<\/a>, users have a chance to save money if they try out iFixit’s guided replacement kits, as long as they are also up for the challenge of an at-home repair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
