Here’s the iFixit Repairability Rating for the iPhone 18 Pro
iPhone 18 Pro 的 iFixit 可维修性评分出炉
iFixit, the company known for completely tearing apart just about every product and device it can, has fully disassembled a brand new iPhone 18 Pro. The goal: to understand how all the parts fit together and find ways to fix anything that might break. 以彻底拆解几乎所有产品和设备而闻名的 iFixit 公司，已经对全新的 iPhone 18 Pro 进行了全面拆解。其目标是：了解所有部件是如何组装在一起的，并找到修复任何可能损坏部件的方法。
In the company’s post and teardown video, iFixit showed off how it took apart the latest iPhone, and what people who may someday need to fix theirs should look out for. 在该公司的文章和拆解视频中，iFixit 展示了他们是如何拆解这款最新 iPhone 的，并提醒那些未来可能需要自行维修手机的用户需要注意的事项。
It gave the iPhone 18 Pro a repair rating of 7/10, citing easy-to-remove camera and battery assemblies. This matches the rating it gave the iPhone 17 Pro in 2025. That doesn’t mean the iPhone repair process is simple. 他们给 iPhone 18 Pro 打出了 7/10 的可维修性评分，理由是其摄像头和电池组件易于拆卸。这一评分与 2025 年 iPhone 17 Pro 的评分持平。但这并不意味着 iPhone 的维修过程变得简单了。
The Achilles heel of the iPhone 18 Pro may be a new feature: a variable aperture lens in the phone’s main 48-megapixel camera. It is the first variable aperture in an iPhone (though not the first in a smartphone). It uses six rotating aperture blades the width of a human hair to allow for different apertures for photo and video. iPhone 18 Pro 的“阿喀琉斯之踵”（致命弱点）可能是一项新功能：手机主摄 4800 万像素镜头中的可变光圈。这是 iPhone 首次采用可变光圈（尽管这在智能手机界并非首创）。它使用了六片如发丝般纤细的旋转光圈叶片，以实现拍照和录像时不同的光圈效果。
The problem with the aperture is that Apple is introducing moving parts—therefore more parts that might need repair. Given the size and intricacy of how the blades are positioned, iFixit called trying to fix the individual blades an almost-impossible task. That means if the camera does break, you’d probably have to replace the full camera assembly. That will undoubtedly be pricier than paying for individual pieces. Luckily, the assembly itself proved easy enough to remove. 光圈的问题在于苹果引入了活动部件，这意味着更多部件可能需要维修。考虑到叶片位置的尺寸和复杂性，iFixit 称尝试修复单个叶片几乎是不可能的任务。这意味着如果摄像头损坏，你可能必须更换整个摄像头模组。这无疑比更换单个零件要昂贵得多。幸运的是，该模组本身拆卸起来相当容易。
A stickier situation is repairing the iPhone 18 Pro’s battery, which requires prying open the glued-on screen. Once that is removed, though, the battery isn’t glued down but secured by screws, so it’s simpler to extract. 比较棘手的情况是维修 iPhone 18 Pro 的电池，这需要撬开粘合的屏幕。不过，一旦屏幕被拆下，电池本身并没有被胶水固定，而是由螺丝固定，因此拆卸起来会更简单。
All in all, the iPhone 18 Pro is about as straightforward to repair as it has been for a few years—not a totally easy fix, but one with some tangible improvements. This comes after Apple’s long, contentious relationship with repair advocates, which made it a target of European Union legislation to make its products easier to fix. 总而言之，iPhone 18 Pro 的维修难度与过去几年基本持平——虽然谈不上完全容易修复，但确实有一些实质性的改进。在此之前，苹果与维修倡导者之间长期存在争议，这也使其成为了欧盟立法要求产品更易于维修的目标。
Apple introduced a self-repair program in 2021. It got off to a bumpy start as the company withheld or made it difficult to access certain tools. After pressure from US state lawmakers, Apple made it slightly easier to repair its phones and eventually introduced a repair assistant to help guide users through the repair process. Still, just this year, the ownership advocacy group PIRG gave the iPhone 17 a D-rating for its repairability. 苹果于 2021 年推出了自助维修计划。由于公司扣留或限制了某些工具的获取，该计划起步并不顺利。在美国州议员的压力下，苹果稍微降低了手机维修的难度，并最终引入了维修助手来引导用户完成维修过程。尽管如此，就在今年，所有权倡导组织 PIRG 仍给 iPhone 17 的可维修性打出了 D 级评分。
