Apple’s new MacBook Neo might be the most important budget laptop in years. With an iPhone chip inside and a price built for students, we tore it down to see how repairable it actually is.

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds4 Pro appear easier to open than AirPods, but once you dig inside, battery replacement becomes surprisingly complex, raising questions about long-term repairability.

I ordered almost every part needed to build a 7th Gen iPad from AliExpress, then rebuilt one from a beat up housing to find out if it’s possible and if it’s actually cheaper than a refurbished iPad. It worked, but the math did not.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may look familiar, but a teardown reveals several hidden upgrades. From a new pixel-level privacy display to dual battery connectors and improved cooling, there’s more going on inside than Samsung advertised.

Samsung is pushing Galaxy AI from a feature into full infrastructure with the Galaxy S26 series. From agentic AI and a built-in Privacy Display to a 200MP Ultra camera and redesigned Galaxy Buds4 Pro, here’s everything announced at Unpacked 2026, including full specs.

There’s a quick way to test your phone’s water resistance without professional equipment. By using the SIM card slot and a simple pressure check, you can get a rough idea of whether your device’s seals are still holding.

Nothing just shared the design philosophy behind the upcoming Phone (4a), and it’s more than just a new color. From upgraded Glyph notifications like Wings and Dolphin to a compact periscope camera and engineering-inspired back panel, here’s what actually changed.

Here’s how the repair works and what to watch out for.
Excerpt: This iPad Pro came in with a shattered display. The good news? It is one of the easier iPads to repair, as long as you know the right way to open it.

Instead of paying full price for a genuine Apple battery, there’s a smarter and cheaper way to get one. And it might surprise you.

Sapphire screen protectors are some of the most expensive you can buy. They resist scratches better than glass, but may not survive drops as well. Here’s the real tradeoff.

Leaked images made the Galaxy S26 Ultra look shockingly thin, but a hands-on look at a 1:1 dummy unit suggests Samsung may be exaggerating the change. Side-by-side with the S25 Ultra, the difference is there, but it’s far less dramatic than the leaks implied.

A single tear in a flex cable can destroy an expensive smartphone screen. This repair shows how advanced microsoldering techniques can temporarily bring it back to life.

Fake AirPods usually stop at looks. These go further. They connect properly, sound decent, and include features you wouldn’t expect at this price, even if not everything works as advertised.

Aftermarket foldable screens for the Z Flip 4 are finally here, and they cost about half as much as Samsung originals. I tested one to see if the savings are actually worth it.

The Mudita Kompakt costs $400, uses an e-ink display, and cuts you off from the modern smartphone world in ways I’ve never seen before.

This $40 card-style tracker is thinner than an AirTag, works with iPhone and Android, wirelessly charges, and doubles as a digital business card.

The iPhone home button worked great on the outside, but repairing it was a different story. From fragile flex cables to Touch ID risks, this repair shows why I don’t miss it.

I removed the vapor chamber from an iPhone 17 Pro and stress tested it before and after. The temperatures barely changed, but the performance data revealed something far more interesting.

I 3D printed a model of the rumored iPhone Fold to see how Apple’s wildest leaks might feel in real life. From the ultra-thin design to Touch ID, camera rumors, and a potential $2,000 price tag, this foldable could be Apple’s most ambitious iPhone yet.
