New Free Repair App Now Available
iFixit has just released a new app that puts the power of repair in the palm of your hand. Available on both the App Store and Google Play Store, the app is designed to make device repairs easier and more accessible than ever before.
Key Features
The app comes packed with tools to assist with repairs, including:
- Comprehensive repair guides optimized for mobile devices.
- A workbench to track your repair projects.
- A battery lifespan predictor that monitors your iPhone’s battery in real time, displaying graphs that show deterioration over time.
FixBot – AI‑Powered Repair Assistant
One of the standout features is FixBot, an AI‑powered assistant that can diagnose and guide repairs for smartphones, laptops, tablets, and more. Users can describe a problem via text or voice, and FixBot will provide step‑by‑step assistance. For hands‑free convenience, FixBot can respond verbally, and you can share images for more accurate diagnoses.
FixBot is trained on millions of successful repairs from the iFixit community, ensuring practical and reliable advice.
Device‑Specific Guidance
The app automatically identifies the user’s smartphone and displays relevant repair information, delivering quick and accurate help tailored to each device.
In‑App Parts Purchasing
Users can buy repair parts directly through the app. Before purchase, the app checks device compatibility to ensure the correct fit.
Background
iFixit previously had an app that was removed from the App Store in 2015. After a decade, the company has been allowed to return, and the new app is now free to download.
Pricing & Premium Plan
Access to FixBot is currently free. In the future, iFixit plans to launch a premium “Enthusiast” plan at $4.99 per month, which will add features such as document uploads.
