In the past months, we have received the news that companies such as Apple, Samsung and Google will offer their users the opportunity to “fix it yourself”. Although Apple has already started this service, it has been learned that users are not satisfied. Samsung’s “fix it yourself” program will launch at the end of this summer.
Apple’s self-service repair failed
In this article, we have explained in detail the “fix it yourself” service that Apple launched in the past months. As part of its “Self Service Repair” program, which allows users to make their own repairs, Apple also offers repair guides for repairs alongside products sold.
Apple’s self-service repair program is not as successful as expected. You can rent Apple’s repair kit for $49 per week, and it’s also required to be returned within seven days of repair. A deposit of $1200 is required as security for this refund.
However, renting the toolkits offered under Apple’s self-service repair program can cost more than sending the device to Apple service. A report that emerged the other day, 36 kg gigantic equipment was sent to a user who wanted to repair his iPhone.
What will Samsung’s fix yourself service offer?
Samsung’s fix-it-yourself service is scheduled to launch in the US later this summer. Samsung, which should not ignore the errors in Apple’s service, actually partnered with the repair company called iFixit.
So unlike Apple, Samsung users can rent iFixit suits for much lower prices. But it should be noted that the prices have not been announced yet.
Samsung self-healing program will cover Galaxy Tab S7+ as well as Galaxy S20 and S21 series. While it is stated that the company’s flagship Galaxy S22 Ultra will not be included in this program at the moment, you will be able to send the problematic parts removed from the devices to Samsung.
