    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    DIY repairs for the Google Pixel 7A just got a lot easier as famed right-to-repair-supporting website iFixit has added official parts for Google’s newest slab phone to its store.

    iFixit has been stocking genuine Google Pixel phone parts for over a year after it made a deal with Google that followed a recent trend by phone makers to improve the accessibility of OEM components.

    When we reviewed Google’s more affordable flagship in May, Allison Johnson called the Pixel 7A the best midrange Android phone for most people thanks to good build quality, a great camera, and an improved 90Hz OLED display.

    Parts on sale at iFixit include a replacement digitizer screen ($109.99), rear plastic cover ($44.99), both rear camera modules, adhesive films for various tiny internal bits, a new battery ($39.99), and more.

    Many of the replacement parts come with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturer defects — perhaps it’s obvious, but exceptions to that include the battery and various adhesive strips.

    Fixing your own phone can be a daunting but educational and fun DIY challenge, depending on which one you own.
