After a long night of disassembly we have our provisional repairability score for the iPhone Duo 👀 Score predictions?

Dust + Duo = Crunch

iPhone Duo is officially in the building. Let the teardown begin.

Before they went out of style, foldable phones ruled the world. Now they're all the rage again.

Apple has released its repair price sheet for the iPhone Duo and owners should be prepared to spend some serious cash when things break.

Need to fix the back glass? $199. What about the rear camera? $229. Did you damage the inner display? Better get your wallet ready. While we don't have our hands on the Duo just yet, the numbers make it clear this will be a difficult and expensive phone to fix. Read more at the link below.

Happy International Repair Day! 🛠️ We teamed up with Google to put ChromeOS Flex in more repairers’ hands!

We’re sending repair groups care packages with preloaded ChromeOS Flex USB sticks, iFixit tools, and repair materials. Because sometimes an old laptop doesn’t need new parts, it needs new software.

For every stick distributed, Google’s partnership with Closing the Loop’s One for One service collects an equivalent amount of e-waste from unregulated waste sites!

Apple finally folded. The iPhone Duo lands October 23, so here's how it stacks up against the Galaxy Z Fold8 on paper. The spec that's missing? Repairability. We'll fill that in when we get our hands on one.

Do you think the iPhone Duo will be the most repairable foldable phone yet?

iPhone Duo preorders go live tomorrow and we can't wait to tear it down. Is there anything specific you want us to check out? What do you want to see first? Let us know in the comments!

The Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 are both disappointments when it comes to repairability.

The Ultra 4's frustrating repair experience remains unchanged. The Series 12 sees improvements, sporting a stretch-release adhesive tab and a simpler display connection. But these updates don't mean much if the only repair channel available for the Apple Watch is to take it back to Apple.

We think it's time Apple stepped up to the repairability plate.

The Steam Frame is finally here. While it’s not perfect, we’re happy to see Valve think ahead with its newest headset.

Getting to the fan is an absolute chore, but the optical stack is straightforward and simple to remove. Expanding the storage is also easy, as is replacing the controller batteries. There's definitely room for improvement, but when a cushion wears out or a display breaks, there’s a plausible repair ahead of you. Read more at the link below.

We cracked open the new AirPods 5 expecting the same disposable trash Apple has sold for the last 10 years. They're still bad, but these AirPods may be the first that can actually live longer than their batteries.

The case is a disaster and you won't find any parts or repair manuals from Apple. But the earbuds themselves are an ever-so-slight improvement over previous models. Read more in our full blog.
