Summary
The repairability of the iPhone X is fairly good with screws being used instead of glue and the display and battery being easy to replace. However the waterproofing measures complicate some repairs and the glass on the front and back doubles the likelihood of drop damage. Overall the iPhone 10 scores a 7.5 out of 10 on the repairability scale.
