This is new — like, as of today. ‘Google’ now plans to provide genuine replacement parts for all ‘Pixel‘ phones via ‘IFixIt‘.
But the price being quoted for the Pixel 6 Pro screen is not cheap — NOT that you would expect it to be. [Also note that the screens are currently NOT available!]
Google is charging me $259 (already paid by credit card) to replace the damaged screen on my 6-month old Pixel 6 Pro — & that included FedEx shipping both ways. That looks like a bargain.
If you nominally allocate $20 for the FedEx shipping (both ways), they are only charging around $40 for the cost of repair. I know that they do a full, automated test to make sure the phone is 100% after the screen is installed. We couldn’t do that at home. Having them fix it for $40, at least to I, sounds like one heck of a DEAL.
Thanks, Google.
