hey guys I'm Gwendolyn gay and this is
the iFixit rundown where I give you all
the news that happened this month and I
fix it
our tear down table was full yet again
this month with all sorts of gadgets
starting with the Sony psvr
regardless of resolution in actual games
this thing is really well-constructed
cheap pretty accessible and has the
entire PlayStation Marketplace backing
it we were able to use one screwdriver
for the whole teardown and found just a
few JIS screws holding the headset
together
Sony also scored some bonus points for
having the best cable management we've
seen in VR their design approach is both
elegant and simple making for a pretty
darn repairable device we also took a
look under the hood of the pixel XL the
pixel and the pixel XL are the first
phones designed entirely by Google from
the ground up and while it's very
reminiscent of an Apple device it's a
beast all its own the pixel XL touts the
usual Android modularity but it also has
an awesome beefed up battery with a
handy pull tab for removal to see what
the PSV are and the pixel XL scored on a
repairability scale check out our full
tear downs and ifixit.com
over on our blog we have a piece
covering the new Apple audio adapter as
expected one end is a simple female 3.5
millimeter headphone jack and the other
end is a male lightning connector but
what's with all that silicone around the
Lightning connectors end most of the
retail space near the connector is taken
up by a single mystery IC there's more
on what our friends at creative electron
found inside this adapter so check out
the full story on our blog the problems
with the note 7 battery explosions have
been covered by almost all media outlets
and even mop on Saturday Night Live but
what's I fix its take on the sticky
issue
well our fearless leader in CEO Kyle
Wayans had a lot to say about the
subject in his article for Wired he
states if Samsung could tell people to
remove the battery it probably would but
it can't because of course it glued the
battery down read more about Kyle's
thoughts on this explosive subject over
at our blog on our channel we have some
great videos for you to explore from our
