Learn about how iFixit has overhauled its app, plus what’s possible with its powerful new FixBot AI diagnostic tool.
The iFixit app is making its grand return on both Android and iOS this week.
The app offers easy access to the site’s guides, help with repair tools, and even battery diagnostics.
FixBot can look at pictures of your problem hardware and guide you through repairs of supported devices.
For as satisfying as it can be to repair your own gear, going the DIY route can absolutely be an anxiety-inducing experience. How many times have you wanted to undertake a project but just lacked the confidence to get started, not even knowing where to start? If you’ve come to appreciate the utility of AI systems in helping bootstrap solutions to problems like that, you’re definitely going to want to check out iFixit’s new app, introducing its AI-powered FixBot helper.
