The iPhones 12 and 12 Pro both earn a 6 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
Display and battery replacements remain a priority in the new iPhones' design.
-
Most other important components are modular and easy to access or replace.
-
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.
-
Increased waterproofing measures complicate some repairs, but make difficult water damage repairs less likely.
-
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.
