IFixit Begins Selling ‘Genuine’ Pixel Phone Parts to Consumers

“Genuine” Google parts are available for purchase at the iFixit online store for the Pixel 2 through Pixel 6 for consumers who want to repair their own smartphones, blogged the right-to-repair advocacy company Thursday. All the “most important” parts are available at launch in markets where Pixel phones are sold, including screens, batteries, charging ports, adhesives and rear cameras, it said. A “full selection” of Pixel 6a parts will be available in the fall, plus a full set of repair guides, it said. Parts can be bought individually or as “complete-solution” fix kits that include all the necessary tools, it said. “Since we’ve been working with the Google Pixel team, they’ve made some serious repairability gains,” said iFixit. Since the Pixel 3, which earned a 4 out of 10 rating on iFixit’s “repairability scale,” no Pixel phone “has scored lower than a respectable 6 out of 10,” it said.
