Apple recently announced its rate program last year, which allows users to repair their own devices by purchasing genuine parts and tools provided by Apple. Rolling up its sleeves for a similar service, Samsung collaborated with iFixit, which determines repairability scores by disassembling devices. In this context, as of the summer months, it will be possible to repair Galaxy phones at home in the USA.
Details of the program remain unknown at the moment, but it is stated that the preparation of the repair manuals that explain all the step-by-step details has begun. According to the first information obtained, Samsung’s repair program will cover the rear glass, screen and charging port replacement in the first place. However, we think that the battery, which is another part of the service that changes the most, will also be included in this program.
Samsung joins forces with iFixit for phone repair
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.
The company claims that thanks to its self-repair program, it will both provide convenience to users and support the sustainability movement. Instead of creating more electronic waste, you will be able to repair your Galaxy phones according to your own needs.
Many Samsung models are quite difficult to disassemble, similar to other phones. It would be annoying for users to damage the device during the repair process. It is a question of how the company’s plan will be in this regard.
