The iPhone X earns a 6 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
Display and battery repairs remain a priority in the iPhone's design.
-
A cracked display can be replaced without removing the biometric Face ID hardware.
-
Liberal use of screws is preferable to glue—but you'll have to bring your Apple-specific drivers (Pentalobe and tri-point) in addition to a standard Phillips.
-
Waterproofing measures complicate some repairs, but make difficult water damage repairs less likely.
-
Fussy cables tie unrelated components together into complex assemblies—expensive and troublesome to replace.
-
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.
