Genuine iPhone 16 Charging Port Replacement

Restore USB-C charging, data transfer and bottom microphone function on the iPhone 16 in Black with this genuine Apple Charging Port Flex Cable, part 821-04743-06, supplied in reclaimed condition. Professionally removed from a working donor device, fully cleaned and bench-tested by our QA team, the assembly delivers Apple's original charging behaviour, microphone response and antenna routing — the same hardware fitted at the factory.

This flex is colour-agnostic at the part-number level — the same Apple module is used across all iPhone 16 colour variants, with only the visible USB-C port socket differing by finish. The Black socket on this unit is matched for the Black iPhone 16, giving a tidy OEM-finish at the bottom edge of the chassis once installed.

Common Faults Resolved

• Intermittent or non-responsive USB-C charging
• Failure to recognise USB-C accessories or external displays
• Bent, damaged or worn USB-C connector pins
• Liquid or corrosion damage inside the charging port
• Faulty bottom microphone affecting voice calls and audio recording
• Cellular signal weakness related to antenna routing through the charging port flex
• Failed prior repair using a poorly matched aftermarket flex

• Three-in-one assembly: USB-C connector, bottom microphone and cellular antenna routing on a single flex
• Black USB-C socket: matched for the Black iPhone 16 for an OEM-finish
• Plug-and-play fitment: board-to-board buckle connectors, no soldering required
• QA-tested: every flex is cleaned, bench-tested for charging, microphone and antenna response, and verified before dispatch

What's Included

• 1 x Genuine reclaimed iPhone 16 Charging Port Flex Cable with Black USB-C socket (Apple part 821-04743-06)

Important Notes

• Colour-matched part: this is the Black variant. Although the underlying flex assembly is identical across iPhone 16 colour variants, the visible USB-C socket is colour-matched. Fitting a Black socket to a White, Pink, Teal or Ultramarine device will produce a visible mismatch at the bottom edge of the chassis.
• USB 2 data speeds: the iPhone 16 base supports USB 2 (480 Mbps) data transfer over USB-C. USB 3 speeds are exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max — this charging port flex does not unlock higher-speed transfer on the base model.
• Run Apple Repair Assistant after fitment: navigate to Settings → General → About → Parts & Service History → Restart & Finish Repair and follow the on-screen prompts. This pairs the new charging port to the device for full feature support.
• Parts & Service History entry: because this is a reclaimed module rather than a factory-paired one, the device may display a "Genuine Apple Part" or "Unknown Part" entry under Parts & Service History depending on pairing status. This is informational only and does not affect charging or data function.
• Bench-test before final fitment: verify USB-C charging, accessory detection, bottom microphone function and cellular signal before sealing the device.
• No soldering required — the flex connects via standard board-to-board buckle connectors.
• Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician using suitable heat, separation and ESD-safe tools to avoid damage to the chassis, flex cables or logic board.
