One area where Apple, along with its industry peers, has room for improvement is device repairability. Until the ease of replacing common components in the iPhone 15 and similar devices is known, Apple remains on par with others in this regard. The self-service repair platform Apple offers remains complex, and basic repairs are often costly or unfeasible, sometimes nudging customers toward device replacements. In comparison, Samsung has made strides in promoting repairability, highlighting the Galaxy S23 as an example. However, experts at iFixit gave the S23 a repairability score of only 4/10, citing the battery’s adhesive attachment as a limitation.
