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.

Step one: take to Apple Store
Step two: get repaired at Apple Store

oop sorry it would cost $1,999.99 to repair this face ID scanner, would you like to purchase our new iPhone 18 Ultra Pro Max Lite ++ with Wii motion+ inside instead?

The closest Apple store to me is a 90-minute drive. The closest place to me selling Apple devices is a Walmart a few miles away.

There is a place in town which repairs Apple devices. It is not an Apple store.

Which place would I rationally take it to if I wanted to get it repaired?

See the 'rationally' part and explain how the 90 minute drive is the rational option.

My front facing camera on my iPad stopped working. My device is pristine, has always been in a case, has zero cracks, and has never been dropped. I brought it in to an apple store and they said they could fix it for half the price of a new one. Fuck 'em. I'd rather just do it myself. It was out of warranty by a few months maybe. I don't remember. The front camera isn't worth half the price of a new device.

Same experience every time I’ve gone only repair cost is always more than 50% of the cost of replacement.
