Google will soon let you repair your Pixel phone yourself

Google has finally joined Apple and Samsung in allowing you to repair your smartphone by yourself. This marks another win for right-to-repair campaigners who have been pushing for smartphone companies to make phones easier to repair without needing to go directly to the company. The program will go live in counties where Pixels are sold later this year through a partnership with iFixit. Unlike Apple and Samsung though, Google says it’ll make this available to phones as old as the Pixel 2 all the way through the Pixel 6 Pro.

“Starting later this year, genuine Pixel spare parts will be available for purchase at ifixit.com for Pixel 2 through Pixel 6 Pro, as well as future Pixel models, in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and EU countries where Pixel is available,” Google’s Ana Corrales, Chief Operating Officer, Consumer Hardware, said in a blog post. “The full range of spare parts for common Pixel phone repairs — things like batteries, replacement displays, cameras, and more — will be available either individually or in iFixit Fix Kits, which include tools like screwdriver bits and spudgers.”

“If we’re going to build a sustainable electronics industry, consumers must have options to repair products themselves. Google is making repair more affordable and accessible, even in places without repair shops. We are committed to enabling repairs at a place and time of your choosing,” iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens said.

As smartphones matured and advanced, most phones grew into now the typical glass and metal sandwich form factor. While elegant to look at and hold, they are often prone to damage due to being made mostly of glass. In fact, a cracked screen is one of the reasons people often replace their phones, next to batteries with dwindling capacities, or even faulty cameras. Although there are services like Applecare that would allow having your phone repaired for a fee, right-to-repair campaigners have been pushing for manufacturers to make it easier for them to take apart and repair phones themselves.

Not only does it make it cheaper to repair a phone yourself if you have the know-how, but it also keeps phones in circulation and out of landfills that much longer. You no longer have to bin that Pixel 2XL with the poor battery and shattered screen. You’re now able to buy a new battery and screen, take it apart, and do whatever you want with it. Reusing is better than recycling, and these right-to-repair campaigns will help in raising reuse rates.

Other than the new repair program, Google also reiterated its five-year security update promise for the Pixel 6 and newer, as well as stressing that all Google hardware would be made of recycled materials to some degree going forward.

When you buy a Google Pixel 9 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro, you know how much you're paying. Both phones have retail prices of $1,000. They're expensive, but they're in line with other flagship smartphones.

But is that the real price of the phones? That's how much you pay, but how much do Google and Apple pay to make the handsets? Thanks to some new data, we finally have an answer.

Someone holding the iPhone 16.

Apple’s iPhone 16 has arrived, and it’s quite an impressive offering this year. Not only does it come in some of the best colors we’ve seen in a while, but it closes the gap between the base and Pro models even more.

That's all to say the iPhone 16 is a fantastic phone, but if you’re thinking about buying it as your next smartphone purchase, you should also consider some of these alternatives.

The Google Pixel 9a will reportedly get a much-needed battery boost
Pixel 9a 5K render.

News about the Google Pixel 9a budget phone continues to emerge, and the leaks are promising. According to a new report from Android Headlines, the new phone will feature a larger battery than its predecessor, the Pixel 8a.

The Google Pixel 9a is expected to have a battery capacity of 5,000mAh, which is an increase of 11%. Phone battery capacities typically rise between 3% and 4% yearly, meaning this could be significant news. The Pixel 8a has a 4,492mAh battery, which Google promises should last over a day between charges. That's about what we found during our review. It will be interesting to see whether the Pixel 9a offers improved battery life because of the larger battery and/or enhanced efficiency.
