| + | [title] Final Thoughts |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] The iPhones 12 and 12 Pro both earn a ***6 out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair): |
| + | [* green] Display and battery replacements remain a priority in the new iPhones' design. |
| + | [* green] Most other important components are modular and easy to access or replace. |
| + | [* yellow] Liberal use of screws is preferable to glue—but you'll have to keep them all organized, and bring out your special drivers (pentalobe, tri-point, and standoff) in addition to the standard Phillips. |
| + | [* yellow] Increased waterproofing measures complicate some repairs, but make difficult water damage repairs less likely. |
| + | [* red] Glass on front and back doubles the likelihood of drop damage—and if the back glass breaks, you'll be removing ''every'' component and replacing the entire chassis. |
