Google and iFixit will offer parts to help you repair Pixel phones

You can get the resources needed to fix your phone from Google. The tech firm is working with iFixit to provide official parts for the phones. The initiative will cover a wide range of models. You will have access to a full range of components, whether you buy them by themselves or alongside tools in iFixit Fix Kits.

The initiative will be available in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and the EU countries. If you would rather have someone else fix your phone, you can get access to parts, tools, documentation and training from the authorized repair shops.

The company said the move was one step in a broader push. The firm pointed to other features like five years of security updates and tools to turn old laptops into Chromebooks, as well as the fact that all of the hardware will include at least some recycled material. These efforts will help you use devices for longer and keep them from being e-waste.

There is also a likely pragmatic motivation. Regulators and the public want to remove limitations on do-it-yourself repairs. The partnership with iFixit might show that the company is willing to compromise in order to avoid the new Right to Repair rules.
