You buy a new iPhone and your wallet cries. You wake up in your bed and believe that you have to buy a new phone every year. Or, you take the repair pill and you stay on iFixit.com and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

Two hands held out in the style of the Matrix “red pill, blue pill” scene. One hand offers a red iPhone. The other holds an iFixit screwdriver. Text above reads: “CHOOSE WISELY"

You’ve probably met Torx, the star-shaped screw that has become common in our phones, consoles, and cars. But have you met Torx Plus? It's the high-tech upgrade nobody told you about: straighter walls, zero cam-out, and way more torque transfer. Sounds great, until you try to open your gadget and realize your trusty T5 doesn’t fit anymore.

We explain the difference between Torx and Torx Plus on our blog: ifixit.com/News/110702/torx-pl…

Torx Plus: The High-Tech Screw Hiding in Our Gadgets

What the %#@$ even is Torx Plus? It solves a lot of the problems of earlier screw designs, but we’re skeptical of wide adoption. Here’s why.

A cracked phone screen doesn't mean you need a new phone! Instead, choose #repair or refurbishment—it's better for your wallet, and the planet.

Repairing will refresh your device, but when you do replace it, remember to trade it in to somewhere like Back Market. Instead of ending up in a landfill, it'll find a new home in someone else's pocket (and put some money in yours!). This enables phones to stay in use for 10 years, saving cost and energy.

Diagram that shows "The Old Way" on the top and "The New Way" on the bottom, separated by a horizontal line. Under the "The Old Way" title is a sub-line that says "New phone every 2.5 years," and under that is four identical graphics in a row of a shiny phone with an arrow pointing to a trash can with an electrical plug symbol on it, implying the phone is being thrown away. Under that is the horizontal line that splits the image in half, and under that is the "The New Way" title. Under that is a sub-line that says "Repair and refurb for 10 years," followed by four different graphics in a row, separated by blue arrows pointing right: a shiny new phone > a screwdriver and wrench in an "X" shape > a hand holding the phone with the screen outlined in blue > a recycling bin.
Graphic titled "Keeping our Phones 10 Years Would Prevent 21.6 Million Tons of CO₂ Per Year," in all caps, with "21.6 Million Tons" circled in blue. Underneath the title is a collage of four different graphics that are meant to convey San Francisco: the Golden Gate bridge, the Transamerica Pyramid surrounded by two other generic building shapes, a trolley car ascending a hill, and three identical townhomes in a row. Underneath that is the caption "Equivalent to the annual energy consumption of the entire San Francisco Bay Area."

Fix It, Then Pass It On: iFixit Joins Forces with Back Market

Let’s say your phone starts slowing down. Battery life’s tanking. The screen’s got a few, uh, character lines. You could toss it in a drawer…

For example, the cost to make an #iPhone 16 Pro could rise by $300. That increase alone is more than three times the current cost of an iPhone Battery Fix Kit. Even as the costs of parts like batteries rise, #repair will still be the smart choice.
A graphic first published by the Wall Street Journal titled “The Bill for an iPhone 16 Pro.” An exploded diagram to the left labels the major components of the iPhone 16 Pro. A list of components, country of origin, and costs is to the right of the phone. A graph above this list shows that the cost components before tariffs total $549.73, but the after-tariff cost increases by 54% to $846.59.

#Tariffs will make almost every new piece of technology more expensive. That means repairing the devices you own will make even more sense than buying new.
However, replacement parts will also become more expensive. 🧵

Small text at the bottom reads: Approximate manufacturing costs for the iPhone 16 Pro 256 GB. Source: TechInsights, iFixit.

Für uns steht fest: Wenn Geräte nicht reparierbar sind, liegt ein Designfehler vor. Denn noch besser als Neues zu schaffen, ist Bestehendes zu erhalten. Die Reparatur eines Gerätes soll einfach und wenn möglich auch direkt von den Nutzerinnen und Nutzern übernommen werden können.
