This is why we love iFixit. We recently got to see a cool teardown video from iFixit for the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Most of the reporting surrounding this is about how Google designed the 9 series to be more durable and how it does better in drop testing, but for me, that's not the real story here.
The device gets a mediocre repairability score of 5, which is generous from what I see. A trained professional with all the right tools wasn't able to open the phone without breaking the display. Removing the battery was a nightmare for the very same professional. And this phone is supposed to last for seven years?
