This middle frame restores the geometry, rigidity and correct alignment of the iPhone 16e when the original chassis has impacts, deformation or damage affecting the installation of the screen, back cover and internal components. The side opening is compatible with A3408, A3409 and A3410 variants. The difference between Single SIM and Dual SIM configurations is found in the corresponding SIM reader and tray, so both configurations can use this type of frame with a physical slot. The included side buttons facilitate assembly and help reduce workshop repair times.
