The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, retailing in Europe at € 1,849, is among the most expensive smartphones available. With its high price tag, it’s no surprise that replacement parts for the device are equally costly. iFixit, a company that sells spare parts to consumers, now offers genuine Google parts for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, further underlying its cooperation with Google.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold screen replacement kit: a premium price tag
One of the priciest replacement parts offered by iFixit is the screen kit for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, coming in at a staggering € 1,207. The display kit includes an 8-inch OLED panel, display bezels, a metal frame and hinge, side buttons, and battery adhesive. This makes the screen kit one of the most comprehensive and costly components available for repair. Aside from the screen, iFixit is also offering an extensive list of Pixel 9 Pro Fold replacement parts.
The iFixit and Google partnership: a background
iFixit’s collaboration with Google began in 2022, aiming to improve repair accessibility for Google devices. By selling genuine parts for Pixel models, iFixit supports Google’s commitment to right-to-repair initiatives and environmental sustainability. This partnership allows Pixel users to purchase quality replacement parts directly from a trusted third party, empowering customers to repair their devices independently.
High repair costs but a step forward for Right to Repair
Though the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s replacement parts are expensive, the availability of genuine parts from iFixit represents a positive shift in the right-to-repair movement. Google Pixel owners now have a reliable source for repairs, even if it comes at a premium.
