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
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.
@@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.
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…!
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!
Pretty surprised that it might be an unpopular opinion (judging by this comments section) but i love Ellis's addition to the team. Don't know why but his jokes and replicas just hit something in me, definitely can relate) Cool guy, and love the overall dynamic inside the teams as always
"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
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 😂
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!
Wow love seeing you folks getting your hands dirty in the repair movement! Also mad props for those repairs. Those are not easy and pulling them off this well the first time is pretty remarkable.
Idk how to spell her name but she’s awesome. Mariah and Ellis had me laughing. He’s right, it’s about the journey but she has a point… boy we trynna fix a phone 😂
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.
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.
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. 👏🏻
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
as someone who worked at the genius bar and repair iPhone for the past 6 years this was super entertaining! The 13 Pro adhesive really is a pain for sure!
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.
6:27 E: Do we have some Isopropyl? M: Alcohol? E: Yeah H (offscreen): Uh..no E/M: Mmm, hm hm hm… H: We got Cholula! Edit: Those bar stools you guys were sitting on? Is that the Glitzhome Walnut Swivel Bar Stools? They look slick!
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Trying to replace my pixel 7 pro screen. Its been 2 hrs with the ifixit iopener and a blow dryer after an hour of that, and i still haven’t gotten the old shattered screen off. Its actually even more shatterd
Asurion next to me are superb at fixing phones. And they are certified. They made my fold like new. So, it’s probably the rare case of bad fixes getting into the press. But, I think majority results will be great.
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.
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.
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.
Wait... Did they say who won the race?! lol Also, love our Wave Form hosts but I think the Pixel team stole the show! Need to see more of them, they make a funny team!
I really appreciate that =) I feel much more comfortable rambling on the podcast. It's honestly a huge help to have people like Mariah and Hayato generally directing me behind the camera and making sure I'm not making a fool of myself.
“I’d rather mess it up myself” is a really important quote, knowing how hard Apple is locking down third party and self-repair. Buying their parts and doing it yourself is more expensive than giving it to a certified Apple repair center and having someone else do it. It wouldn’t be so bad if Apple allowed users to verify and calibrate the parts online without having to painfully churn through a tech support chat process to do so.

I’ve repaired lots of electronics but never a phone before! Hopefully my years of accidentally breaking things gave Mariah an edge!
Love how Ellis is just a chaos gremlin and Andrew is in full tech assist mode. All those years in tech support came through✌️
Omg haha he was in tech support? He was so patient
Well well well we appreciate Zach’s work now more than ever lol doing it so effortlessly
Wanna see his reaction to this video 😂

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.
Elis is such a great guy. The guy can literally say anything and have me rolling on the floor in laughter 😂
I really loved both teams, but i would kill to see David trying to fix a broken phone too.
Oh yeah!
A good activity as a team and overall a good experiment. Nice work guys!
It’s always fun watching people try this. I did this for a living & taught people to do it too
New found respect for repair people!
Wow love seeing you folks getting your hands dirty in the repair movement! Also mad props for those repairs. Those are not easy and pulling them off this well the first time is pretty remarkable.

Ellis hard carries The Studio channel 😂
This is fantastic. I’d love to see this kind of content with basically any other piece of tech
Mariah’s “am I gonna die” really got me😂😂😂she is awesome
Dead sense of humour
18:20, I love how the studio channel producer is just chilling in the background 😂
The audio of this video was perfect. Levels, EQ, everything!
Do we have any isopropyl? Alcohol? No…we have Cholula 6:37 😂
Mariah is grrrreat, love her energy! ❤🎉

Such a fun video, loved it! 😍❤️ Need more videos like this in future but with different team members! 👀 Mariah and Ellis definitely aced this one! 💪
I've been fixing phones for some time now and you guys did awesome for the first time!
18:25 is that coffin for the old broken screens?
I just got my first ifixit kit last night and I love it! Super high quality!
Also, first like ;)
I now officially have great respect for Zach!
Ellis is such a vibe... he has a Gen-Z kind of energy that I totally resonate with😂😂😂❤
This is so refreshing to watch loll great chemistry between everyone too

It was really nice seeing more of the team having a good time! They all seems like cool and fun people.
Well, great work to both of the teams you guys did well in repairing those phones
I have been using Sony Xperia phones exclusively for the last twelve or so years.

This was a very helpful ad! Was able to get my tool kit even though the discount code didn’t work. Thanks guys !!
Great job with the outro. It's like I was watching the man himself.
That was a really fun video too, something different to spice things up. 10/10
To be fair I'm a little dessapointed nobody mentioned "like a little Lego" when popping out the ribbon cables connections hahahaha
Mariah and Eilis are the perfect comedy pair!!!!
This is honestly a good team building activity.
This is so much fun. I’ve done this on older models and it’s cool
This was fun to watch. I wouldn't mind more videos like this one. Good episode guys!
Also, what's up with that coffin in the middle of the office?
Honestly at the end Marques was giving off new parent vibes like "look at what we made". So beautiful.
This was a really good video. It was not what I expected, which is probably why I like it so much.

I'd say it was a tie. Both teams were absolutely amazing 👏 mkbhd looked very dope 😎 spinning his head around for face ID setup at the end
the few times i've seen someone setting up the face id thing all i could think was "it looks like voldemort after he was 'reborn'"
This Has to be the best take on social media ever 🙌
Ellis saying swag at about 10:00 really caught me off guard, haven't heard that in years.
When this channel uploads, I'm way happier than when Marques's channel uploads
