iPhone 14: How easy is it to repair?  

A six-year record

iFixit has “opened up” the new iPhone 14 and has the best to say about it, as the device appears to have been built with repairs in mind. It even characterizes Apple’s flagship model as the most easily repairable iPhone in 6 years, since the iPhone 7 era.

The back glass is cheaper and easier to replace, while also using a metal frame in the middle, so is the screen. In fact, he points out that it is easier to repair than many Android phones that only offer access from the back. The earpiece and selfie camera have been moved to a much more accessible location for repairs compared to the previous generation.

In any case, Apple requires technicians to activate the replacement parts they installed.

The direction Apple is taking is not surprising, as it is under intense pressure from lawmakers and the federal government for greater ease of repairing its products and does not want to risk legal battles with potentially huge fines.
