TBH they were weighted pretty bad and a lot of people felt they weren’t accurate to the real world repairability. A good example is how iPhones would score way higher than they ever should just because they prioritize quickly removing the screen and battery despite those parts being paired to the motherboard making them unrepairable to anyone that isn’t apple. Being able to physically remove them easier is moot when the phone will reject any part you put in it. it also didn’t take into account parts availability since that’s subject to change. Finally, things some people find difficult about a repair (soldering, proprietary screws, glue, differing screw lengths, etc) may be easier to some or REALLY hard for others so if a repair involves those it can mess up the results. I notice a lot of people complain about these issues with the score on older videos so that’s my theory on why they stopped giving them. I’m not ifixit though so it’s likely for a different reason. I hope they respond so we can both learn the real reason
@lenshibo Yeah, it was crazy how they gave repairable phones like Galaxies low scores for strong adhesive but gave Apple high scores despite the phones rejecting repair parts. Also Apple phones use weird screws and have all kinds of tedious little things that other phones have resolved.
F. Also I have to say, I absolutely love him and his videos, but imo, failing his quite unscientific test rarely is a reason not buy the device if it's otherwise a great device. They really are mostly just for entertainment 😁
I accidentally took the sim card tool and jammed it in the top microphone hole. Did i hurt anything? The screen is ok. Is the spealer right under that hole? is there water proofing material I ruin? Im scared I ruin the phone thanks Matt Smith
I have to ask again and again: What even is the point of this nonsense "ultrathin glass" when there's always a plastic film on top of it. With this, all this "glass" does is creating another point of failure with literally no purpose.
Me neither, there will always be the unavoidable wear in the screen where it folds. Phones like this are stupidly expensive and most will end up in the trash after a year or so meaning that they are also damaging to the environment.

If only flexible displays aren't so effing expensive, and people actually buy enough of them where scale of economics can drive the price down.
Man, do I miss those repairability scores... Why did you stop giving them, iFixIt?

@@ratrodgradytbf, at the time they didn't reject the parts, that came later
No score means you have to stop think and draw conclusions for yourself.
They started making lucrative deals with companies that scored poorly like Samsung.
Nothing is worse than what happened to JerryRigEverything's Pixel Fold (May it rest in peace 2023-2023)

I know time feels like,it just flying these days but man have we ever accelerated the foldable, rollable screen tech.
I want to open up something like this without hesitating first.
If this thing was $1000, it would be incredible.
Mine was less than $1k after taxes with an iPhone 13 Pro trade-in and after selling the free LTE Pixel Watch…
@@rashad123us But an iPhone 13 Pro is worth $750+ on the used market... Selling a free watch does count in reducing the cost though!
Yea I got mine for $1100

my pixel 7 would get to almost 41c a chunk of the time
can you guys do a teardown on the spyra 3 please it would be really cool
So.. the screen is plastic? What's the point of the glass layer?
Rigidity
I guess..@@MrCraigie01
does the larger inner screen go back in the phone easily?
Yes
Yeah, that glass definitely does not sound like something that will last long... 🥀⚰
Waiting to Fairphone foldable.
Too bad it uses the crappy Ten-xynos SoC and the USB-C port is soldered to the logic board. 😂😂😂
I have to ask again and again:
What even is the point of this nonsense "ultrathin glass" when there's always a plastic film on top of it. With this, all this "glass" does is creating another point of failure with literally no purpose.
Could provide more rigidity and better protect the OLED panel?
From what I’ve heard, it makes the screen feel less like jell-o. I don’t know personally. That’s just what I’ve heard, so take it with a grain of salt
google wants $900 to replace that inner screen. you could just buy two pixels and tape it together for that money.
This channel is more and more like Jerryrigeverything
Hopefully this one won't have the black chasm down the fold a year into its life, but I'm not confident in that.
what is the processor of this phone?
Tensor G2 I guess.

Ehh, this was decent, but still I don't think folding phones are the way to go.

1800 dollars for glues holding the phone together .
修理できないデバイスには容赦なくリペアビリティスコアに0を付けるのがifixitのお家芸と思いましたが、評価せずというのはGoogleに対する忖度ですかね。まあそれも仕方ないかもしれませんね。
It seems repairable but it seems they forgot to grade it, maybe they did so on their website?
AppleでもGoogleでも、今年のデバイスがまだスコアがないよ

I hate the way Americans pronounce the letter “Z”. It’s Zed NOT Zee!
@@davidjacobs6244LOL. I like the sound of "zee" better if referring to American things (e.g., Cra-Z-Art)
