Samsung is breaking away from iFixit’s mission while Google is embracing it


What you need to know

  • Last week, iFixit announced it would be ending its collaboration with Samsung, which allowed it to distribute OEM parts and repair guides.
  • iFixit says that Samsung’s “approach to repairability does not align with our mission.”
  • While the iFixit partnership with Samsung is ending, the former company’s partnership with Google to provide parts, tools, and guides for Pixel devices is going strong. 

iFixit, a company that has tried to advance the right-to-repair movement by partnership with big tech manufacturers, announced last week that it is ending its collaboration with Samsung. The partnership allowed iFixit to distribute official parts and create repair guides for Samsung devices. However, iFixit cut off the deal, saying that Samsung’s “approach to repairability does not align with our mission.”

There’s a lot to unpack here, because iFixit’s decision to back out of the Samsung partnership could have a big effect on consumers. iFixit is the go-to source for reliable original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket parts, as well as tools and repair guides, for a swath of consumer electronics products. Is iFixit or Samsung to blame for the breakup? That’s not completely clear, but both sides weren’t perfect. Samsung didn’t set the partnership up for success, and iFixit won’t produce repair guides for Samsung devices at all now that it’s over.
