Final Thoughts
  • The iPhone 13 Pro earns 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 components are modular and easy to access or replace.

  • The multitude of screw types makes repair more difficult than necessary—but at least they’re not glue.

  • Waterproofing methods complicate some repairs, but make (expensive) water damage less likely.

  • 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.

  • Software component pairing needlessly complicates many repairs, undermines credibility of third party repair, and reduces functionality of the device when repaired without Apple's proprietary calibration tools.
