  • iFixit cuts ties with Samsung as its repairability goals misalign

    From Oscar Mayer@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 24 01:09:04 2024
    iFixit announced that it is ending its repair partnership with Samsung, effective in June 2024.

    The company states that Galaxy devices are too "glued together," making it
    hard for iFixit to provide the necessary parts consumers need without
    driving up costs.

    iFixit will continue to deliver Galaxy parts when it can, however, it will
    no longer create new guides on how to repair Galaxy devices moving forward.

    I
    have nothing against the type of poxy that would be used to create a water-sealed environment at all. However they are correct.

    We need simple devices with screws and rubber-pegs over those screws.
    Not just glue here and glue there.

    I brought a heat gun just to open devices.
