Do-it-yourself repairs coming for Google’s Pixel smartphones

By Joe Rossignol, MacRumors

Google today announced it is partnering with iFixit to make do-it-yourself repairs available for Pixel smartphones in select regions.

Starting later this year, genuine Pixel parts will be available for purchase on iFixit’s website for the Pixel 2 through Pixel 6 Pro, as well as future Pixel models, in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and European Union countries where Pixel smartphones are available, according to Google. Batteries, displays, cameras, and other parts will be available both individually and as part of iFixit toolkits.

Google’s announcement comes one day after the European Parliament voted in support of proposed “Right to Repair” legislation planned for later in 2022. Samsung last week announced plans to launch a similar self-service repair program for some Galaxy smartphones, also in partnership with iFixit.
