My Samsung mobile phone is just as difficult to repair as an iPhone.
If anything, the iPhones are much easier to repair.
As of the latest generation of Samsung Galaxy S series and iPhones that have been torn down by iFixit, the Galaxy S20 was given a repairability score of 3 vs. a score of 6 for the iPhone 12.
On the iPhone, iFixit said:
[ease of] display and battery replacements remain a priority in the new iPhones' design.
Most other important components are modular and easy to access or replace.
On the Galaxy S20, iFixit said:
Every repair starts with painstakingly un-gluing the fragile glass rear cover.
Replacing the glued-down battery is tougher than ever, especially with board interconnect cables to work around.
All-too-common display repairs require either a complete teardown or replacing half the phone.
