[title] Final Thoughts
[* black] The ~~iPhone 8~~ iPhone SE earns a ***6 out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
[* green] The two most commonly replaced components, display and battery, remain straightforward to access with the proper knowledge and tools.
- [* green] Wireless charging means less strain on your Lightning port, a common point of failure.
- [* yellow] Water and dust seals complicate repair, but make the need for difficult liquid damage repairs less likely.
+ [* green] Most components are modular and independently replaceable, including many that are cross-compatible with iPhone 8.
+ [* yellow] IP67 seals complicate repair, but make the need for difficult liquid damage repairs less likely.
[* yellow] While the overall construction is pretty repair-friendly, you’ll still need up to four different driver types for many repairs.
- [* red] The smashable glass back is impractical to replace.
+ [* red] The fragile glass back is impractical to replace.
[* icon_note] The hardest part of any repair is knowing what to do. Thanks to its similarities to the 8, repairs on this SE are already excellently documented—[[Topic:iPhone 8|check it out|new_window=true]].
