Apple has released its repair price sheet for the iPhone Duo and owners should be prepared to spend some serious cash when things break. 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. www.ifixit.com/News/119797/...

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.

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 Steam Frame is finally here. 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. www.ifixit.com/News/119488/...

We cracked open the new AirPods 5 expecting the same disposable trash Apple has sold for a decade. Surprisingly, the earbuds themselves are an ever-so-slight improvement over previous models. Read more in our full blog. ifix.gd/4e2Rk7S

If you have a GameCube sitting in your closet collecting dust, this video is for you. It may be old, but it more than likely still works. You just need to fix it. Watch our friend Camran (IG: superlevelz) bring this console back to life.

The iPhone Duo looks to be an impressive bit of engineering, but we have doubts about its repairability. We'd love to see a foldable from Apple that's truly repairable. But we're skeptical the Duo will be a step in the right direction. www.ifixit.com/News/119205/...

Don't let a couple of shorts keep you from long nights of fun. Grab some tools, open up that console, and fix it! Watch our friend Taylor (IG: tayl0rtech) bring this Xbox Series X back to life.

Are your thumbsticks dirty and worn out? Don't worry, there's a fix for that. With some tweezers, a few screws, and a little patience, your controllers will look and feel as good as new. Watch Ryan (IG: ryansrepairslk) break down this project.

The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max score a provisional 7/10 for repairability. Here's why. βœ… No battery adhesive to fight βœ… Camera modules are easy to remove ❌ Nearly every repair goes through the glued-down screen ❌ The USB-C port is a chore to replace Full breakdown on the blog. bit.ly/3T57si8

We love a mechanical iris. We'd love it more if we knew what a replacement camera module will cost.

iPhone 18 Pro power button replacement: logic board out, battery moved, cameras moved, other cameras moved, three sideways screws, one super fragile bracket. For a button.

Your battery is the first thing that's going to fail. So the first thing we check is how hard Apple made it to reach. iPhone teardowns start today.

iPhone 18 Pro preorders start today. What's new: a faster chip, a bit more battery, and a variable aperture lens. What's not: pretty much everything else. Teardown incoming to see if Apple actually upgraded the repairability this time.

Introducing the duo on a beach is bold for a hinged device. Hopefully Apple has solved the problems other hinged devices have when dust, sand, etc. are present

No word on if the new AirPods 5 will finally have easily replaceable batteries...but I think we all know the answer 😒

Will the new vapor chamber impact how easy it is to repair the phones? We'll deep dive this in our upcoming teardown!

Apple, if we were 'designing the ideal hub from scratch' we'd make sure it was repairable so owners can fix their devices whenever they break
