We’ve Never Fixed a Phone Before!

[@UsernameUser]

I’ve been fixing phones for a couple years now, and seeing one of the most popular tech KZbinrs fix phones just made my day

[@UsernameUser]

If I’m correct my first screen repair only took about an hour Seeing these guys do it with basically no instructions that they could see is pretty impressive

[@singular9]

Most phone fixing places I go to turn away most customers because it's a liability to repair people's products and they'd rather you buy the warranty so they could cover it with insurance and scrap it rather than fix it.

[@UsernameUser]

@@singular9 Most places that fix phones seems pretty sketchy. I just fixed devices from home. Fixing devices with parts that are trustable are a better option.

[@UsernameUser]

@@singular9 pro tip, fix devices on your own and buy the products on your own. It more trustable

[@ellisrovin]

I’ve repaired lots of electronics but never a phone before! Hopefully my years of accidentally breaking things gave Mariah an edge!

Easily one of my favorite videos yet on this channel. “We’ve got Cholula” about murdered me. Likewise “Is the phone off?” “No…” But my favorite line is absolutely “OH! Swag…!” So much fun to watch. Thanks for this one…!

[@breakfast-burrito]

“Oh swag” took me out at the knees ☠️☠️

[@YanookiOfficial]

Not gonna lie, Ellis might actually be a very good addition to your team cause he fulfils a niche of jokes that people like myself and I'm sure others find funny + Marques if your reading this man thank you so much for always bringing out high quality content you really inspire me to always make the best youtube videos possible, keep it up!

[@newyearbetterdays]

That's so true man Ellis really does have a selective sense of humour that is a great addition to the team

[@spreadinglove648]

Bro, Marques has been the King of Tech for years now, also man just checked out your channel keep up the great content man

Always enjoy seeing Mariah in a video. Definitely showcases that the studio isn't just all men.

[@ejsese]

"boy we're trying to fix a phone" "/you're/ trying to fix a phone" lmfaoo. if you guys ever do another roadtrip style video these two need to be in a car together

[@forzaflash]

Both teams were amazing, I think it's a tie tbh. Although I like the chaotic sibling energy of Ellis and Mariah It truly is about the friends made along the way 😂

[@hopecharity6612]

I love the old versus the new. Marques and Andrew are a seasoned team. Mariah and Ellis are the new edition...and they were under the circumstances formidable!

[@ghostlinkmario]

I really loved both teams, but i would kill to see David trying to fix a broken phone too.

[@everythingresearchgabriel2289]

Oh yeah!

[@PrabhuSVlog101]

A good activity as a team and overall a good experiment. Nice work guys!

[@UserNameNiemand]

Did the same to my old iPhone 8 plus, replaced battery, screen adhesive and the head speaker that been sounding awful after all of those years. The experience to do it myself is unmatchable! Now I love my old phone even more) not even thinking to buy a new one. The ability to fix things that you own one-ups the value of it to yourself.

[@Mor_timer]

Ellis is such a vibe... he has a Gen-Z kind of energy that I totally resonate with😂😂😂❤

[@NathanZ1555]

I've been fixing phones for some time now and you guys did awesome for the first time!

[@jacobscharmberg7133]

[@VictorLubega]

[@chrismalone3091]

Great video- I think that many people are just too intimidated by what seems like a complex process when, in reality, they are perfectly capable. Would have liked to see a quick sidebar on right to repair and the larger sustainability issues around repair vs. buying new.

[@nikitagm5015]

A few months ago I fixed my Huawei Mate 20 Pro simply because I didn't want just to throw it away and had spent nearly £1000 when I bought it around the release date here in the UK. Changed the funny bottom speaker, which was integrated into the charging port, the back panel and the battery. I also fitted a new display which I got cheap from AliExpress, 3 times cheaper than the original display, unfortunately it came without the underscreen fingerprint reader so I managed to transfer the reader from the old display onto the new one successfully. I didn't use iFixit repair kit and still managed to get it fixed like new. I'm surprised that you tech guys have never fixed any phones yourselves 😂 The video is fun to watch and well done to all of you, the whole team. Keep up the good work and I as a massive fan to all your channels would be happy to see more competitive and fun videos like this one. Greetings from London, UK. 👏🏻

[@Franco-yo6vn]

I'm a Civil Engineer, with no experience with tech hardware, but I have fixed many phones since the iphone4, replaced many iPad screens and batteries since the iPad 2, and a couple of Macbooks thanks to Ifixit. Their Guides are perfect.

[@TMinusRecords]

Really great video! Maybe if you do something like this again it would be more fun if both teams were doing it in the same room. Feels more competitive and although there would be "cheating", that would also be more fun to watch

[@TylerFernandes94]

I've fixed a couple of my own devices and computers a few times using iFixit and their website, and they literally deserve so much praise. Awesome awesome awesome business.

[@franzalex]

I have been using Sony Xperia phones exclusively for the last twelve or so years. Since we don't have authorised fix shops here in Ghana, I've been pretty much fixing my phones myself for just about that long. Cracked glass back panels (I hate them glass backs! Plastic FTW), screens, charge connectors, batteries, I have done all that. I must admit that with all these years of 'experience', I know my way around the internals of phones to get many replacement jobs done in an hour tops without first reading the instructions, and about 20 to 30 mins if I read the instructions beforehand.

[@lilgohan]

ellis is a hidden comedic gem

[@Hari_Raval]

Do we have any isopropyl? Alcohol? No…we have Cholula 6:37 😂

[@Deathsead747]

Honestly at the end Marques was giving off new parent vibes like "look at what we made". So beautiful.

[@everythingresearchgabriel2289]

Fun clip, i think i would love fixing my own phone now! 19:10 about what Mariah said, is true. When i used to repair my phones i've had in the past, they used to be lagy and slow for some reason. YES, it was third party repair. So today for instance, i have a iPhone 12 and the back glas is broken (yes, i rock without a case, why in the would would you make your phone bulky) but i'll stick with it till it probobly dies🏎Ride or Die

[@everythingresearchgabriel2289]

No guys, i don't have 2 phones or more. Just one haha but speaking about all others i had in the past! 😅

[@ztechrepairs]

It's kind of tough when I hear people say oh I've heard horror stories about repair shops this coming from a reputable repair shop. And that's the key you have two read reviews before you take it to any repair shop. Too often people will take their phone to the most local guy who says they can fix phones and then they get screwed over. Read reviews people please

[@Diablo22967]

Yeah but sometimes it's the "Reputed ones that also screw you over." A great repair shop opened in my area and wanted to replace my entire charging port, but when I took it to a guy who does it for cheap, he literally said all it needed was a cleaning, 2 hours and I hand my phone back, fully capable of charging at high speeds

[@timwildauer5063]

Ellis is my absolute favorite. You need to get him on camera whenever possible.

[@cdmsvt]

I am currently watching this video on a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra that I fixed. Best decision I've ever made. * Front camera is a bit blurry, which is common are removing and reinstalling, but I much rather have it be my fault than someone else's.

[@JesusVillanueva]

I think anyone that considers themselves a phone enthusiats should fix their phone at least once. Welcome to the club MKBHD team. I have changed the batteries on at least 3 phones and 1 MBP.

@@Manganellia1 Yeah! Just your tone of voice combined with gestures made it very nice to watch. Reminded me a lot of how Marques does it.

[@natef95]

I replaced the screen on my iphone 11 recently and I was really surprised by how difficult it was to get the guitar pick under the edge of the screen to start. The suction cup I was provided with was too weak and would pop off just as I started to see a gap big enough to slide the pick in.

[@MattsManyHats]

Great video. It’s fun watching y’all figure stuff out in real time.

Are there any serialized part issues anymore with Pixels or iPhones? Are there any software errors/notifications with iFixit parts these days?

[@andymiller1597]

Official Google Pixel parts are sold by iFixit, and Google supplies users with the necessary calibration software. Apple makes it a bit trickier, and while it will still work with third party parts, you'll get a popup when booting the phone and lose certain features like battery health. Face ID will still work if the component is transferred to the new screen (since it's tied to the logic board). If you opt to get genuine parts from Apple's Self Repair Service, you need to contact them to authenticate the part, but that's the only hoop that needs jumping throuh.

[@johnjosephv7279]

both teams are good ,really loved it😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@HDGamesUniversal]

Maybe I'm super out of the loop, but I thought FaceID would be disabled it the screen replacement wasn't done by Apple, or using the Apple repair program. Is this something that has changed recently? EDIT: I stand corrected, Apple released an update around November 2021, which would prevent FaceID from being disabled, when the screen is replaced by someone other than Apple.

[@RIIDDE]

This occurred on iPhone 13 series devices running iOS 15.0. This 'oversight' was later patched by Apple and retaining Face ID was made possible by transferring the original proximity sensor flex from the broken screen to the replacement, as has been the same with all Face ID model iPhones prior to this.

[@CateChapelle]

That was the case on release with either the 13 or 14 series but they got so much backlash that they ended up going back on that decision

[@at_oussama]

you're not out of the loop, it's just that news websites that jumped on the bandwagon to criticise apple for it, decided to not update everyone when apple rolled back that Face ID change, just tried to find any articles about it, and the only one I found was from xda-developers.
