Samsung’s approach to its ill-fated iFixit partnership only makes Google look better.

    It takes an hour and a half to swap a pixels battery if you have all the right tools.

    Google is not embracing repairability. They are doing just enough to say they are doing something.

    Sincerely, my Pixel.

      At least (according to them) they want to Get to a point where you can reach into a kitchen drawer and be able to replace your Screen.

        For now at least. Google has company ADHD and will probably forget about it in a few years.

    To absolutely no-one’s surprise. Their devices are not only a colossal pain in the ass to work on, but the part prices are absolutely draconian. What they quoted me for a broken display is close to what I’ve paid for the device to begin with

    Samsung can’t stop the coming wave of consumer rights laws. Pretty short sighted of them.
