iFixit cuts ties with Samsung as its repairability goals misalign

It was just too much to try and maintain.

The company states that Galaxy devices are too "glued together," making it hard for iFixit to provide the necessary parts consumers need without driving up costs. iFixit adds that it has continuously tried to get the necessary parts to local shops within reasonable price ranges while "the design of Samsung’s Galaxy devices remained frustratingly glued together." This is a law that Google backs, with hopes that more OEMs will move to create devices that consumers can easily repair at home without much stress.
