Nothing says CES like booths, badges, and… soldering. We fired up the FixHub on the show floor and @beccafarsace.bsky.social jumped in to give it a go. Repair doesn’t need a lab. Just the right tools.

Two people sit at an iFixit booth at a conference, smiling as they work together on a small electronics soldering repair. An iFixit Pro Tech Go toolkit is open on the table, with bits, spudgers, and tools neatly arranged while they focus on a hands-on fix. A close-up view of two people concentrating on a repair at an iFixit booth, using precision tools from an open toolkit. One person applies a tool while the other guides the process, with repair tools, parts, and a soldering setup spread across the table in a busy conference hall.

Graphic titled “Top 3 Least Repairable Smartphones of 2025.” Three black phone silhouettes with question marks are shown on a blue and white background, with a note explaining that rankings are based on iFixit repairability testing and do not include every 2025 phone. Slide ranking the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra as the #3 least repairable phone of 2025. The image shows the phone next to a photo of hands attempting to remove a tightly glued screen. Text notes that adhesive-sealed parts make repairs difficult, with a provisional repairability score of 5 from iFixit. Slide ranking the Nothing Phone 3 as the #2 least repairable phone of 2025. The phone’s transparent back is shown alongside a close-up of a screwdriver removing screws beneath a glass panel. Text explains that opening the device is tedious and destructive, with no official repair parts or guides available, and a repairability score of 3. Slide ranking the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 as the #1 least repairable phone of 2025. The image shows the folded phone next to hands struggling to remove the screen. Text highlights extreme difficulty replacing the display, extensive adhesive use, and the complexity of foldable phones, with a repairability score of 3.

Can't agree more with this.

If you revoke access to software someone paid for because something is going wrong in your brain go f yourself.
