The iPhone 7 earns a 7 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
The battery is straightforward to access. Removing it requires specialty screwdrivers and knowledge of the adhesive removal technique, but is not difficult.
-
The solid state home button eliminates a common point of failure.
-
Improved water and dust protection greatly reduces the need for repairs associated with environmental damage and accidental spills (but also makes some repairs more difficult).
-
The display assembly continues to be the first component out, simplifying screen repairs, but the procedure has grown more complicated with improved waterproofing measures.
-
With the addition of tri-point screws, many iPhone 7 repairs will require up to four different types of drivers.
