If I’m correct my first screen repair only took about an hour Seeing these guys do it with basically no instructions that they could see is pretty impressive
Most phone fixing places I go to turn away most customers because it's a liability to repair people's products and they'd rather you buy the warranty so they could cover it with insurance and scrap it rather than fix it.
@@singular9 Most places that fix phones seems pretty sketchy. I just fixed devices from home. Fixing devices with parts that are trustable are a better option.
Pretty surprised that it might be an unpopular opinion (judging by this comments section) but i love Ellis's addition to the team. Don't know why but his jokes and replicas just hit something in me, definitely can relate) Cool guy, and love the overall dynamic inside the teams as always
Not gonna lie, Ellis might actually be a very good addition to your team cause he fulfils a niche of jokes that people like myself and I'm sure others find funny + Marques if your reading this man thank you so much for always bringing out high quality content you really inspire me to always make the best youtube videos possible, keep it up!
Easily one of my favorite videos yet on this channel. “We’ve got Cholula” about murdered me. Likewise “Is the phone off?” “No…” But my favorite line is absolutely “OH! Swag…!” So much fun to watch. Thanks for this one…!
Both teams were amazing, I think it's a tie tbh. Although I like the chaotic sibling energy of Ellis and Mariah It truly is about the friends made along the way 😂
I love the old versus the new. Marques and Andrew are a seasoned team. Mariah and Ellis are the new edition...and they were under the circumstances formidable!
"boy we're trying to fix a phone" "/you're/ trying to fix a phone" lmfaoo. if you guys ever do another roadtrip style video these two need to be in a car together
Did the same to my old iPhone 8 plus, replaced battery, screen adhesive and the head speaker that been sounding awful after all of those years. The experience to do it myself is unmatchable! Now I love my old phone even more) not even thinking to buy a new one. The ability to fix things that you own one-ups the value of it to yourself.
Wow love seeing you folks getting your hands dirty in the repair movement! Also mad props for those repairs. Those are not easy and pulling them off this well the first time is pretty remarkable.
Great video- I think that many people are just too intimidated by what seems like a complex process when, in reality, they are perfectly capable. Would have liked to see a quick sidebar on right to repair and the larger sustainability issues around repair vs. buying new.
Idk how to spell her name but she’s awesome. Mariah and Ellis had me laughing. He’s right, it’s about the journey but she has a point… boy we trynna fix a phone 😂
as someone who worked at the genius bar and repair iPhone for the past 6 years this was super entertaining! The 13 Pro adhesive really is a pain for sure!
A few months ago I fixed my Huawei Mate 20 Pro simply because I didn't want just to throw it away and had spent nearly £1000 when I bought it around the release date here in the UK. Changed the funny bottom speaker, which was integrated into the charging port, the back panel and the battery. I also fitted a new display which I got cheap from AliExpress, 3 times cheaper than the original display, unfortunately it came without the underscreen fingerprint reader so I managed to transfer the reader from the old display onto the new one successfully. I didn't use iFixit repair kit and still managed to get it fixed like new. I'm surprised that you tech guys have never fixed any phones yourselves 😂 The video is fun to watch and well done to all of you, the whole team. Keep up the good work and I as a massive fan to all your channels would be happy to see more competitive and fun videos like this one. Greetings from London, UK. 👏🏻
I have been using Sony Xperia phones exclusively for the last twelve or so years. Since we don't have authorised fix shops here in Ghana, I've been pretty much fixing my phones myself for just about that long. Cracked glass back panels (I hate them glass backs! Plastic FTW), screens, charge connectors, batteries, I have done all that. I must admit that with all these years of 'experience', I know my way around the internals of phones to get many replacement jobs done in an hour tops without first reading the instructions, and about 20 to 30 mins if I read the instructions beforehand.
Really great video! Maybe if you do something like this again it would be more fun if both teams were doing it in the same room. Feels more competitive and although there would be "cheating", that would also be more fun to watch
I'm a Civil Engineer, with no experience with tech hardware, but I have fixed many phones since the iphone4, replaced many iPad screens and batteries since the iPad 2, and a couple of Macbooks thanks to Ifixit. Their Guides are perfect.
It's kind of tough when I hear people say oh I've heard horror stories about repair shops this coming from a reputable repair shop. And that's the key you have two read reviews before you take it to any repair shop. Too often people will take their phone to the most local guy who says they can fix phones and then they get screwed over. Read reviews people please
Yeah but sometimes it's the "Reputed ones that also screw you over." A great repair shop opened in my area and wanted to replace my entire charging port, but when I took it to a guy who does it for cheap, he literally said all it needed was a cleaning, 2 hours and I hand my phone back, fully capable of charging at high speeds
I've fixed a couple of my own devices and computers a few times using iFixit and their website, and they literally deserve so much praise. Awesome awesome awesome business.
Fun clip, i think i would love fixing my own phone now! 19:10 about what Mariah said, is true. When i used to repair my phones i've had in the past, they used to be lagy and slow for some reason. YES, it was third party repair. So today for instance, i have a iPhone 12 and the back glas is broken (yes, i rock without a case, why in the would would you make your phone bulky) but i'll stick with it till it probobly dies🏎Ride or Die
I am currently watching this video on a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra that I fixed. Best decision I've ever made. * Front camera is a bit blurry, which is common are removing and reinstalling, but I much rather have it be my fault than someone else's.
Asurion next to me are superb at fixing phones. And they are certified. They made my fold like new. So, it’s probably the rare case of bad fixes getting into the press. But, I think majority results will be great.
I think anyone that considers themselves a phone enthusiats should fix their phone at least once. Welcome to the club MKBHD team. I have changed the batteries on at least 3 phones and 1 MBP.
As a person who fixed his last few phones (and watched all of Zack - JRE's videos) it really makes me happy to see your channel showing that in this "beginner" style rather than a "pro fixer", showing that everyone can do it. It may be a little scary at first, but with the right guide and tools (which both are really accessible) it is super doable, and I love Mariah's conclusion at the end of her fix👍🏻
Way cool makes me think I might try a DIY repair if there was a need, my biggest concern is being old AF and my eyes dealing with all the tiny screws and such.
You should! It's fun. If you're worried about older eyes, or if you just got janky eyes from the start, you can buy some cheap, lighted jeweler's magnifier glasses. I use them when doing SMD micro soldering and they work wonderfully. Never let anything hold you back!
6:27 E: Do we have some Isopropyl? M: Alcohol? E: Yeah H (offscreen): Uh..no E/M: Mmm, hm hm hm… H: We got Cholula! Edit: Those bar stools you guys were sitting on? Is that the Glitzhome Walnut Swivel Bar Stools? They look slick!
Trying to replace my pixel 7 pro screen. Its been 2 hrs with the ifixit iopener and a blow dryer after an hour of that, and i still haven’t gotten the old shattered screen off. Its actually even more shatterd
Ellis: "It will create a uncontrollable fire, a fire extinguisher wont put it out" Mariah: "Do we have a fire extinguisher?" Selective hearing at its best
0:52 I can’t find her in the meet the staff section of the description, might sound weird reading this but out of everyone the only person that’s missing is their link, wanted to follow the hosts
I replaced the screen on my iphone 11 recently and I was really surprised by how difficult it was to get the guitar pick under the edge of the screen to start. The suction cup I was provided with was too weak and would pop off just as I started to see a gap big enough to slide the pick in.
I’ve been fixing phones for a couple years now, and seeing one of the most popular tech RUclipsrs fix phones just made my day
If I’m correct my first screen repair only took about an hour

@@singular9 pro tip, fix devices on your own and buy the products on your own. It more trustable
I’ve repaired lots of electronics but never a phone before! Hopefully my years of accidentally breaking things gave Mariah an edge!
Love how Ellis is just a chaos gremlin and Andrew is in full tech assist mode. All those years in tech support came through✌️
Omg haha he was in tech support? He was so patient
Well well well we appreciate Zach’s work now more than ever lol doing it so effortlessly
Wanna see his reaction to this video 😂
He is a genius bro
Uhm, you mean Jerry?
@@SilkJester his name is Zach
@@formulalatest no its Jerry
Scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7!!
Hitman
That's so lame.
@@riomendoza1111 you're lame
JRE‼️‼️‼️
Zach is probably judging them so hard lol 😂

Yeah, he's awesome
I’m not seeing any Ellis hate? We love Ellis
Ellis and Mariah are both really great additions to the team!
Oh you were being sarcastic lol
Ellis the 🐐
Not gonna lie, Ellis might actually be a very good addition to your team cause he fulfils a niche of jokes that people like myself and I'm sure others find funny + Marques if your reading this man thank you so much for always bringing out high quality content you really inspire me to always make the best youtube videos possible, keep it up!
That's so true man Ellis really does have a selective sense of humour that is a great addition to the team
Bro, Marques has been the King of Tech for years now, also man just checked out your channel keep up the great content man
I enjoy him. I always wanted to be that funny guy but it always screwed with my relationships trying to always be on and say funny stuff

“Oh swag” took me out at the knees ☠️☠️
I really loved both teams, but i would kill to see David trying to fix a broken phone too.
Oh yeah!
Both teams were amazing, I think it's a tie tbh. Although I like the chaotic sibling energy of Ellis and Mariah
It truly is about the friends made along the way 😂
I love the old versus the new. Marques and Andrew are a seasoned team. Mariah and Ellis are the new edition...and they were under the circumstances formidable!
It’s always fun watching people try this. I did this for a living & taught people to do it too
New found respect for repair people!
Always enjoy seeing Mariah in a video. Definitely showcases that the studio isn't just all men.
A good activity as a team and overall a good experiment. Nice work guys!

"Nooo" 🤣

Elis is such a great guy. The guy can literally say anything and have me rolling on the floor in laughter 😂
Mariah is grrrreat, love her energy! ❤🎉
This is fantastic. I’d love to see this kind of content with basically any other piece of tech
Ellis hard carries The Studio channel 😂
Wow love seeing you folks getting your hands dirty in the repair movement! Also mad props for those repairs. Those are not easy and pulling them off this well the first time is pretty remarkable.
The audio of this video was perfect. Levels, EQ, everything!
Mariah’s “am I gonna die” really got me😂😂😂she is awesome
Dead sense of humour

I've been fixing phones for some time now and you guys did awesome for the first time!
Such a fun video, loved it! 😍❤️ Need more videos like this in future but with different team members! 👀 Mariah and Ellis definitely aced this one! 💪
Elis and his chaotic good was awesome! Super fun video
I expected Macques to be soooo good at this, it's reassuring to see he's a newbie like everyone else. Good one guys
This is honestly a good team building activity.
I'm a Civil Engineer, with no experience with tech hardware, but I have fixed many phones since the iphone4, replaced many iPad screens and batteries since the iPad 2, and a couple of Macbooks thanks to Ifixit. Their Guides are perfect.
Ellis is my absolute favorite. You need to get him on camera whenever possible.

Well, great work to both of the teams you guys did well in repairing those phones
Mariah and Eilis are the perfect comedy pair!!!!
I used to do this for people back with iPhone 3, 4 and 5. Seem a lot easier now.
This was a very helpful ad! Was able to get my tool kit even though the discount code didn’t work. Thanks guys !!
I just got my first ifixit kit last night and I love it! Super high quality!
Also, first like ;)
I've fixed a couple of my own devices and computers a few times using iFixit and their website, and they literally deserve so much praise. Awesome awesome awesome business.

No guys, i don't have 2 phones or more. Just one haha but speaking about all others i had in the past! 😅
It was really nice seeing more of the team having a good time! They all seems like cool and fun people.
To be fair I'm a little dessapointed nobody mentioned "like a little Lego" when popping out the ribbon cables connections hahahaha
18:20, I love how the studio channel producer is just chilling in the background 😂
Honestly at the end Marques was giving off new parent vibes like "look at what we made". So beautiful.
ellis is a hidden comedic gem
I am currently watching this video on a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra that I fixed. Best decision I've ever made. * Front camera is a bit blurry, which is common are removing and reinstalling, but I much rather have it be my fault than someone else's.
Bro code always works without even seeing each other's face.
Loved it! ❤❤
This is so refreshing to watch loll great chemistry between everyone too
This is so much fun. I’ve done this on older models and it’s cool
I think for safety concerns I think all employees should know where the emergency fire extinguishers and tools are
Great job with the outro. It's like I was watching the man himself.
That was a really fun video too, something different to spice things up. 10/10
Looks like the tech-themed version of the 'Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes' game
Bingo! I had it in the original script but then trying to add that into the explanation just took too much time
@@Manganellia1 it was really fun switchin it up to almost a co-op game like this U^ｪ^U
Ellis taking the blue plastic straight to the face is me giving in to my intrusive thoughts

This was a really good video. It was not what I expected, which is probably why I like it so much.
Zach makes doing this so easy
Who's Zach
Do we have any isopropyl? Alcohol? No…we have Cholula 6:37 😂
Ellis: We have any isopropyl?
Mariah: Alcohol?
[Off-camera]: We’ve got kahlua?
the only thing i fix myself was an old laptop when i spilled a drink on it, the iFixit tool kit is definitely clutch
This was fun to watch. I wouldn't mind more videos like this one. Good episode guys!
Also, what's up with that coffin in the middle of the office?
As a person who fixed his last few phones (and watched all of Zack - JRE's videos) it really makes me happy to see your channel showing that in this "beginner" style rather than a "pro fixer", showing that everyone can do it.
It may be a little scary at first, but with the right guide and tools (which both are really accessible) it is super doable, and I love Mariah's conclusion at the end of her fix👍🏻
Thought it would a competition between using iFixit tools and Apple's from self repair programme.
Is nobody going to mention the coffin in the background?
When this channel uploads, I'm way happier than when Marques's channel uploads
love that they used the iFixIt music!
I'd say it was a tie. Both teams were absolutely amazing 👏 mkbhd looked very dope 😎 spinning his head around for face ID setup at the end
the few times i've seen someone setting up the face id thing all i could think was "it looks like voldemort after he was 'reborn'"
This Has to be the best take on social media ever 🙌
Great video. It’s fun watching y’all figure stuff out in real time.
A red coffin? It can be a serious press package 😅
I've said this, if we ever get a disc golf game we need marques in it. Maybe a dbrand disc as a special thing for his character?
15:54 when they said 2 hours I was like dang I did these in 20 minutes 😅
So no one's gonna mention the casket in the middle of the office???
I love fixing phone and electronics.
Ellis: “swag.”
Way cool makes me think I might try a DIY repair if there was a need, my biggest concern is being old AF and my eyes dealing with all the tiny screws and such.

What’s dope about iFixIt is they literally have a business repair kit in case you want to turn this into a full time income. Love it.
11:55 my guy, read the room. Tech geeks don't remember the DsiWare these days.
never
Zack makes everything looks so easy😅
@JerryRigEverthing is definitely gonna cry watching this video
