Final Thoughts
  • Shift5.1 Repairability Score: 6 out of 10 (10 being the easiest to repair):

  • Cover and battery are easy to remove and can be swapped without using tools.

  • No excessive glue and no proprietary screws are used, only Phillips #000.

  • Shift offers a forum and a youtube channel with some information and tutorials (unfortunately only in German).

  • The fused display can be changed but you need to take out everything else reminding us of the iPhone 4 and 4s.

  • Lots of components and connectors are soldered to the motherboard. They could be soldered by hand if needed but this makes repairs more difficult.
