JerryRigEverything said is his recent teardown review that Pixel repairability has gotten particularly worse on the 9. Sounded like the battery was very difficult to remove
- iFixit said the same, aswell as that removing the screen will break it, even with special care taken.
First time pixel owner. My 9 arrived today. Always have been as Samsung so this is exciting. Hopefully there won't be any QA issues this time.....
Wait what?
They're trying to be Fairphone-lite?
- They've also had a partnership with iFixit for a while now, allowing them to sell genuine replacement parts.
  The process still isn't what I'd call repair-friendly, but I've been able to replace the screen of my Pixel 5 without much trouble. What bothers me most is the use of adhesive and too many parts being bundled together so they can only be replaced in bulk.
