|---|---|
| + | [* black] The iPhone 8 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] The addition of 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. |
| + | [* yellow] The battery connector once again sports common Phillips/JIS fasteners—but you’ll still need up to four different driver types for many repairs. |
| + | [* red] The durability of the glass back remains to be seen—but replacements are likely to be very difficult. |
| + | [* red] The iPhone’s lower components, once readily removed, now lie trapped under a fussy combination of brackets and delicately folded flex cables. |
