iFixit ends repair partnership with Samsung due to doubts about Samsung's commitment towards making repair accessible. High part prices and design choices make repair costly and difficult.
Samsung's parts bundling practices, like requiring the purchase of multiple parts for a single repair, contribute to the frustrations towards repair accessibility. Comparing part availability shows Samsung lags behind competitors.
Despite iFixit's complaint about high prices, Samsung's store pricing for parts does not seem significantly different compared to competitors like Pixel and iPhone.
The end of the repair partnership signifies a rocky relationship between Samsung and iFixit, with the latter choosing to focus on projects with more practical outcomes.
