| + | [title] Final Thoughts |
|---|---|
| [* black] The iPhones 13 Pro earns a ***5 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 components are modular and easy to access or replace. | |
| [* yellow] The multitude of screw types makes repair more difficult than necessary—but at least they’re not glue. | |
| [* yellow] Waterproofing methods complicate some repairs, but make (expensive) water damage less likely. | |
| [* red] Once again, double glass means double drop damage, and despite the improvements to durability over the years, there’s still no easy way to replace the rear glass. | |
| [* red] Software component pairing needlessly complicates many repairs, undermines credibility of third party repair, and reduces critical functionality of the device when repaired without Apple's proprietary calibration tools. |
