Media info
We work closely with media outlets all over the world to make repair accessible to people of all walks of life. We almost always license our photos and repair guides to the press for free. Our photos are regularly reprinted in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and a wide variety of magazines and online publications.
Contact ¶
iFixit is based in the lovely central coast of California. When we're not basking outside in the sunshine or kayaking along the coast, we occasionally answer our phones and talk to friendly reporters.

Company ¶
iFixit was started in 2003 by Luke Soules and Kyle Wiens while they were studying engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. We are a private, socially motivated company. More about how we got started is on our background page.
Mission ¶
We believe that the easier it is to fix something, the more people will do it. The only way to keep hardware out of landfills is to increase the useful lifespan of our stuff. A solid introduction to our strategy is on our mission page.
Environment ¶
Earth has limited resources, and we can’t run a linear manufacturing process forever. The best way to be efficient is to reuse what we already have! We are committed to solving the e-waste problem by empowering repair all over the world.
Community ¶
iFixit is not just a company— we are a global repair community of people helping people fix things. We are thousands of technicians and volunteers working together to make the world better by teaching people how to fix things. Our community has won awards—SXSW recognized us as the best online community of 2010.
