-
The iPhone 8 Plus earns a 6 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
The display and battery are straightforward to access—with the proper knowledge and tools.
-
Wireless charging means less wear on the all-purpose Lightning port, a common point of failure.
-
Water and dust seals complicate repair, but make the need for difficult liquid damage repairs less likely.
-
The battery connector still uses common Phillips/JIS fasteners—but you’ll still need up to four different drivers for many repairs.
-
Despite alleged durability, the back glass is breakable and next to impossible to replace when cracked.
-
The iPhone’s lower components, once readily removed, now lie trapped under a fussy combination of brackets and delicately folded flex cables.
