Overview
What this part is
On the iPhone 16 Plus the USB-C port is part of a flex cable that runs along the bottom of the phone to the main board. The port surround shows through the frame, so this part comes in colours to match your phone. When the port wears or the flex is damaged, charging becomes slow or stops, the cable feels loose, or the phone no longer connects to a computer.
This part replaces the whole port and flex assembly. Before ordering, clean the port gently with a wooden or plastic pick, because pocket lint often stops the cable seating. The old listing notes that this flex also supports the lower microphone connection, so test calls and voice memos after fitting.

- Power the iPhone 16 Plus off and open it with gentle heat and the right tools.
- Disconnect the battery before touching any other connector.

- Lift the old flex away, fit the new one and screw the port back in line with the frame.
- Reconnect the battery and test charging, data sync, calls and the microphone.

Check that the part matches the device before fitting it or removing any adhesive backing. Once a part has been fitted, it cannot be returned for a change of mind. Faulty parts are always covered.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my iPhone 16 Plus?
Yes, if Settings › General › About shows iPhone 16 Plus. It fits models A3082, A3289, A3290 and A3291.
Does it fit the iPhone 16 or iPhone 15 Plus?
No. The iPhone 16 is smaller and the iPhone 15 Plus has a different internal layout. This flex is for the iPhone 16 Plus only.
Which colour should I choose?
Choose the colour closest to your phone's frame, because the port surround shows at the bottom edge. The colour does not change how the port works.
Is it made by Apple?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality usb-c charging port flex cable made to fit the iPhone 16 Plus, and every part is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. The iPhone 16 Plus needs heat and fine tools to open, and the battery must be disconnected before the flex is removed.
How quickly will it arrive?
Orders placed before 4pm on a working day are dispatched the same day from Manchester by Royal Mail Tracked. Delivery is free on UK orders from £5.
