The Morning After: Google and iFixit collaborate on parts to help you repair Pixel phones
Google is the latest phone maker to join Apple and Samsung in giving you resources to fix phones yourself. It’s partnering with the tinkerer of all tinkerers, iFixit, tofor Pixel phones later this year. Notably, the initiative will cover models ranging from the Pixel 2 through to the Pixel 6 Pro and beyond.
It’s shaping up to be an interesting year for people willing to repair their own phones. We still haven’t had a chance to see how Apple’s iPhone repair proposal will fare in real life — how hard is it going to be? — but Google is being smart by pairing with, arguably, the go-to people for those willing to take their phone’s life into their own hands.
