Fix Pixel 7 battery
You may be wondering how that works with battery replacement: that is not just a matter of installing a new battery. After installation, when the phone is fully assembled again, you must charge it to 100 percent and then leave it in the charger for another two hours. Then you have to use your device until the battery is completely empty and then charge it again in one go to 100 percent.
If you want to repair your Pixel 7 (Pro) with such an iFixit kit now, you have to be quick. Many kits are already sold out. Probably (and hopefully) not so much because people already broke their Pixel, but because people probably buy it just to have it on hand in case they do.
