Consumers who want to extend the life of their smartphone while avoiding excessive repair costs can take the risk of replacing components on their own.
iFixit’s online store now has parts in stock for the Pixel 6a, with options to buy just the components or the components plus the tools needed to open up the phone and swap out the parts.
The Pixel 6a replacement screen, which is the most likely component to be required, costs $92.99 as a standalone part and $99.99 when purchased with the tools.
According to the current inventory numbers listed on the site, it appears that iFixit did not receive a large quantity of the components, as only a few are in stock in most categories.
