In 2021, Apple announced it would offer a self-repair program for iPhones. Although the program still doesn’t have a name or a launch date, it will allow anyone to buy kits to repair their smartphone. In March 2022, Samsung launched a similar program in collaboration with iFixit.
Not one to be left out of the fun, Google has now announced its own Pixel self-repair program. Like Samsung and Apple, Google’s program doesn’t have a name or an explicit release date. Like Samsung, Google’s program also involves a partnership with iFixit.
