  Face ID moved under the screen on the iPhone 18 Pro, and you can barely see it. So we zoomed in. A lot. Thanks to Evident for letting us use their microscope! https://www.ifixit.com/News/119329/inside-the-tiny-unfixable-eye-iphone-18-pro-and-pro-max-teardown

  We love a mechanical iris. We'd love it more if we knew what a replacement camera module will cost.

  The European government has approved new legislation that makes it easier for consumers to keep their devices working longer. Manufacturers must soon offer better repair options for consumers and repair shops. This includes everything from washing machines and vacuums to tablets and smartphones. Under this new rule, if you repair instead of replace, you may qualify for an extra year of warranty! Check out the full report from Tagesschau at the link below. https://www.tagesschau.de/video/video-...

  We know repair isn't always easy, but we believe it should always be an option. From circuit boards to musical instruments, nothing is off the table when you've got the right tools. Watch our friend Emerson (IG: tryingtoguitar) rewind this old Stratocaster pickup with some math, a little elbow grease, and some help from our FixHub Soldering Station.

  If your soldering technique includes holding your breath and leaning sideways, we have a project for you. That wispy smoke coming off your iron is vaporized rosin flux, which irritates your eyes and lungs and isn't something you want to be breathing for years. Our DIY fume extractor pulls it into an activated carbon filter instead, and it's built from a cardboard box, a spare 12V computer fan, a few zip ties, a switch, and a 9V battery. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Make+an+Affor...

  Replaceable batteries are not a fantasy, companies just needed a legal shove. EU rules are pushing Nintendo and Amazon toward more repairable devices, from Switch hardware with replaceable batteries to signs of Kindle battery replacement kits and guides. That does not mean the fight is over. Parts pairing, lockouts, and loopholes are still very real. But every replaceable battery is one more crack in the throwaway tech model.

  For more than a decade, farmers have been fighting for the right to fix the machines they own. Now, the FTC settlement with John Deere marks a massive win! Deere must give farmers and independent repair shops access to the same repair software, manuals, and repair capabilities it provides to authorized dealers. This is what Right to Repair looks like when it moves from principle to enforcement. The work is not over, but this is a big step. Learn more at the link below. https://www.ifixit.com/N...

  Megalodon is built for the home repairs that are too big for a tiny electronics driver, but too annoying for a full-size drill. Think vacuum housings, appliance panels, furniture hardware, and all the screws hiding two inches below the surface. Big bite. Small case. Ready for the junk drawer. https://www.ifixit.com/products/megalodon-driver-kit

  Happy 4th of July! 🎆 True independence means having the freedom to choose how you maintain the things you own. If you can’t open it, you don’t own it. Corporate monopolies shouldn't get to dictate when, where, or how we fix our electronics and appliances. This Independence Day, we’re celebrating the makers, the fixers, and everyone fighting for a more sustainable, independent future. 🛠️✨
