This is a genuine Apple Proximity Light Sensor Flex Cable removed from an iPhone 16 Pro Max, fully tested and confirmed working prior to dispatch. Designed for professional repair technicians and refurbishers resolving proximity sensor or ambient light sensor faults on iPhone 16 Pro Max handsets, this reclaimed genuine part ensures full compatibility and restores original sensor performance.

The proximity and ambient light sensor flex cable is responsible for two key device functions: detecting when the device is held to the ear during calls to turn off the display, and adjusting screen brightness automatically based on ambient lighting conditions. Damage or failure of this flex cable results in the screen remaining on during calls, loss of auto-brightness, or complete sensor failure. Replacing the flex cable with a genuine component restores both functions reliably.

Common Faults Resolved

• Screen not turning off during phone calls
• Auto-brightness not working or missing from Settings
• Proximity sensor unresponsive or behaving erratically
• Ambient light sensor failure following a drop or water ingress
• Sensor fault persisting after display replacement
