Surface Pro 9 Teardown: The Most Repairable Surface In Years iFixit 2022-11-10 | For ages, Microsoft’s Surface Pros were about the least repairable tablets on the market, thanks largely to the tenacious glue used under the screen — a battery or SSD replacement would sometimes mean breaking the display. Today we’ve got the Surface Pro 9 on our teardown table and we’re excited to see what’s inside!Quick disclaimer: We do consulting work for Microsoft’s hardware team. We do the same kind of analysis for them that we do here on the channel: dissect their hardware and share ideas for making it more repairable. We also sell Microsoft’s tools to our Pro business customers. However, our teardowns are conducted with full editorial independence, with devices purchased by iFixit, and Microsoft has had no input or involvement in the making of this video.Want to see just how bad the Surface Pro used to be?

Apple Watch Ultra Teardown - Beautiful, Rugged, and Almost Repairable iFixit 2022-09-26 | This year, all eyes are on the new Apple Watch Ultra—a bigger, shinier, and more rugged upgrade to its wearable line.

iPhone Pro Max 14 Teardown Behind the Dynamic Island and the Mystery Buzz iFixit 2022-09-20 | The iPhone Pro Max is getting all the attention this year, which makes sense. As usual, it’s the biggest, slickest phone, with the best camera, and it’s got the newest marquee feature: The Dynamic Island. It’s also got a newly stabilized selfie camera, an always-on display, and it’s capable of satellite connectivity. Plus, for the first time, Apple has ditched a physical SIM card—in the US.But there’s an old saying: No man is an island, and maybe he should hold off on buying the fancy phone if he wants one that will actually last.

Samsung Z Flip and Fold 4 Teardowns: Do Cheaper Repairs Mean More Repairable Phones? iFixit 2022-08-30 | Surprisingly, we’re on the fourth generation of Galaxy Foldables, unsurprisingly they are far from mainstream. This year, however, Samsung is steeply discounting repairs so our interest is piqued. If Samsung is confident enough to drop the screen repair price to $29—with insurance—could the Fold and Flip 4 really be as repairable as non-foldables? Before we get started, iFixit has teamed up with Samsung to sell parts and tools, but our Teardowns happen independently and without their involvement.Thanks to Creative Electron for providing us with amazing X Rays, check them out atcreativeelectron.comCheck out our Teardown of the 3rd Generation Flip and Fold!youtu.be/aGCaJ4NOc0wYou can disassemble your Z Flip or Fold with one of our cheapest toolkits!

The Dell XPS 13 (2022) Teardown: Is This The 13 Laptop Weve Been Waiting For? iFixit 2022-08-09 | Way back in 2020 we fell in love with the Dell XPS 15. The XPS 15 was a sleek and incredibly modular machine that scored a 9 out of 10 on our repairability scale. But not all of us wanted a 15-inch machine. Some preferred the smaller form factor XPS 13. Now, the 13” inch model didn’t have all of the repair benefits the 15 inch model had, but with its easily removable battery and removable SSD it did have enough going for it to earn our seal of approval. This new version of the XPS is slightly thinner and lacks many of the ports we loved in the previous version, and most of the time when we see manufacturers making the move to fewer ports and thinner devices, it means the device is going to be way less repairable. But, we won’t know for sure until we tear it down.Get the Pro Tech Toolkit!ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Pro-Tech-Toolkit/IF145-307?utm_source=2022dellxps13teardown&utm_medium=Annotation&utm_campaign=YouTubeCheck out the Dell XPS 15 video we did back in 2020!youtube.com/watch?v=G4IUfNevmCUChapters00:00 Intro01:03 Back Case Removal01:19 Battery Removal01:30 Fan and Heat Sink Removal01:46 MotherBoard Removal02:30 DaughterBoard Removal02:39 Display Removal02:48 Final thoughts and Conclusion#dellxps13 #dellxps #ifixitteardown Subscribe to our channel for all our latest teardown and repair videos! youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ifixityourself Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/ifixit Check us out on Facebook: facebook.com/iFixit

Why Do Joysticks Drift? iFixit 2022-06-15 | Sony isn't the only company to use off-the-shelf joystick modules, but, like Microsoft, they've made it difficult to repair this consumable component.

What is Right to Repair, and Why is it Important? iFixit 2022-06-09 | It might surprise you that manufacturers of all kinds of things unfairly limit their customers’ repair options, intentionally making repairs more expensive and more difficult. When you buy something, you own it, and you should have the right to repair it, whether that means taking it to the repair shop of your choice or fixing it yourself. More and more manufacturers are restricting access to replacement parts and the tools you need to repair your devices. That’s why we all need Right to Repair!Get the TL;DR on the Right to Repair and get the latest updates on the fight so far.Get involved with Right to Repair!In the US head on over to Repair.orgrepair.org/stand-upin the EUhttps://repair.eu/in Canadacanrepair.caAnd in Australiahttps://www.griffith.edu.au/law-futures-centre/our-research/australian-repair-networkSubscribe to our channel for all our latest teardown and repair videos! youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ifixityourself Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/ifixit Check us out on Facebook: facebook.com/iFixit

Washington State Right to Repair Hearing 2022! Is This the Year it Happens? iFixit 2022-01-19 | This year’s fight for your right to repair your own stuff is on, with bills in at least 25 states and public hearings about right to repair in Illinois and Washington State last week.Right to repair activists are optimistic about 2022. And there was good reason for optimism in last week’s hearing in Washington State about House Bill 1810. What was most exciting about this hearing was actually who wasn’t there: specifically, Microsoft. Microsoft’s headquarters are in Washington State, and every time a right to repair bill has been introduced there before, Microsoft’s lobbyists have been out in full force. This time, though, Microsoft is now neutral today, and for us that’s a really big win!If you’re in Washington State and want to help out, now is the time! Calling or writing your legislators is a great way to make your voice heard. At washington.repair.org, there’s a form for you to email your repair story to your legislators, and a calling system that will connect you directly. In the US, every state with repair legislation in consideration has its own repair.org domain: illinois.repair.org, california.repair.org, https://nebraska.repair.org.In the European Union, check out repair.eu. In Australia, the Griffith University Law Futures hosts Repair Australia (https://www.griffith.edu.au/law-futures-centre/our-research/repair-australia).
