Google Pixel repair parts will be available on iFixit

If you can handle smartphone repairs yourself and have a Pixel phone, it'll be easier to look for genuine spare parts online. Google partnered with iFixit to offer a "full range of spare parts for common Pixel phone repairs," including batteries, cameras, and displays. These will be available individually or as part of iFixit Fix Kits with the necessary tools and repair guides. 

Parts for the 2017 Pixel 2 to last year's Pixel 6 Pro will be offered, and Google commits to supporting future phones. The "Geniune Google Parts" will be available starting "later this year" in Canada, the US, the UK, the EU, and Australia. Google has "independent repair professionals and skilled consumers with the relevant technical experience" in mind for this program. And it plans to expand its repair network to improve "repairability across [its] products." There are already walk-in support providers for Pixel devices in the country, with plans to expand on this in the future.
