Overview
- The app is available today on the App Store and Google Play with 125,000+ mobile-optimized guides, a repair workbench, and compatibility checks for in-app parts purchases.
- FixBot accepts text, voice, and photos to identify devices, diagnose faults, and provide step-by-step instructions with direct links to tools and replacement parts.
- iFixit says a custom retrieval system and evaluation harness surface exact manuals and test responses to reduce wrong answers and hallucinations, with guardrails limiting non-repair or illegal requests.
- The app includes a real-time battery health predictor that charts degradation and replacement timing, with more limited data on iOS due to Apple’s API restrictions.
- Use is free during the beta, with a reported Enthusiast plan to follow at $4.99 per month or $50 per year, and the launch returns iFixit to Apple’s App Store after its 2015 removal.
