IT Home reported on May 24 that as the second anniversary of iFixit's cooperation with Samsung is about to expire, iFixit recently issued a press release announcing that it is "ending its cooperation with Samsung." iFixit revealed thatgameroomnearmeThe reason why they ended the cooperation was that "Samsung's repair methods were inconsistent with iFixit's mission," that is,"Samsung's equipment parts are expensive and mobile phones are difficult to repair."

Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit, said:

For example, if a user wants to replace the battery of a smartphone. On iPhone 11, you can buy for $40 (IT Home Notes: Currently about 290 RMB) Buy the battery and the accompanying repair kit at the price, and then follow the steps provided; Samsung bonds the battery of the Galaxy phone to the screen, which will cause users to easily damage the screen when replacing the battery. The price of the related battery is even higher. For comparison, replacing the battery on the Galaxy S22 requires you to pay US$170 (currently about 1233 RMB).

IT Home notes that the cooperation between Samsung and iFixit will end on June 17. By then, iFixit will no longer be the "officially designated" third-party parts and tools distributor for Samsung's Galaxy series of phones. However, iFixit's website will still sell Samsung parts for users to repair devices. iFixit said it will specify whether the specific parts are "original components" or "after-sales components" in the product list.

In addition, the end of the partnership has been accompanied by additional changes. Samsung users of iFixit are now no longer restricted from "purchasing only seven parts every three months." The repair manual for the original Samsung Galaxy equipment will remain on the website, but iFixit will no longer work with Samsung to update relevant guidelines.
