Common iPhone 16 Plus issues we check at inspection
- Screen burn-in on OLED display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on OLED panels after extended use. The iPhone 16 Plus, with its larger OLED screen, is susceptible to this over time.
- Battery degradation below 80% health. Original battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use. This is a standard wear item for all lithium-ion batteries, and the larger battery in the Plus model will see similar degradation.
- Cracked or damaged screen glass. Physical damage to the screen from drops or impacts. The larger display of the 16 Plus makes it more prone to such damage.
- Face ID not working. The TrueDepth camera system for Face ID can fail due to hardware issues or software glitches, often requiring expensive repair.
- Charging port issues (lint, damage). The Lightning port can become clogged with debris or damaged, leading to intermittent or no charging.
- Water damage indicators tripped. Internal liquid contact indicators may have been tripped, indicating past water exposure, even if the device currently functions.
