With this measure, he wants users to be able to repair their mobiles themselves if they are trained, thus reducing technological waste and its image as a manufacturer that cares for the environment.
The idea of a modular phone hasn't really taken off yet; numerous logistical complications make it neither attractive nor viable for consumers. However, efforts continue to help consumers reduce electronic waste and extend the lifespan of their gadgets. With phones typically lasting two years and not being cheap, it's understandable that people want to extend their phone's lifespan by repairing it, and Motorola wants to help in its own way.
Although the brand isn't going through its best period, it has made a point of demonstrating its commitment by offering consumers a tool kit for repairing the company's mobile phones . This will also help many independent repair shops that have been using generic but versatile tools until now.
Motorola lets us repair our mobile
In order to do this, Motorola has partnered with iFixit, a company that has been offering manuals, tools and parts stores for years so that we can repair our devices. With this commercial alliance, they will be able to sell kits designed for Motorola mobiles, each one to change a certain part. This will include things like the battery, screen, and touchpad, three of the most frequently asked parts to change and that affect the use of the device the most.
Currently, they offer repair kits for the Motorola Moto X, Z, G4, G5, and the Droid Turbo 2 , each with specific instructions and the parts to be replaced. There's really not much to criticize, as they support the continued use of mobile phones and help prevent their repair shops from being overloaded with minor, procedural repairs. This is a measure that all manufacturers should adopt whenever possible.
