Pixel 9 Pro repair parts reveal pricier camera, cheaper rear cover given new design

iFixit has listed repair parts for the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL, with the year-over-year comparison revealing some interesting pricing changes.

The $172.99 Pixel 8 Pro rear case includes the:

• Rear Panel
• Metal and Plastic Frame
• Edge Bezel
• Rear Camera Bezel and Lens Covers
• External Side Buttons and Internal Button Switches
• Wireless Charging Coil

In a reflection of the new flat design and construction, the Pixel 9 Pro XL rear cover is $92.99 since it’s just the:

• Rear Panel
• Rear Camera Bezel and Lens Covers
• Flash

That said, the rear camera array is $70 more expensive, while the screen and battery go up by $10. You can also get the USB-C Charging Assembly, which is no longer connected to the motherboard, for $42.99. Pixel 9 Pro repair parts are mostly the same or slightly cheaper, though the USB-C part is curiously more expensive.

The rear price difference is more drastic on the Pixel 8 vs. 9, while Google now joins the two back cameras and makes them cheaper in the process. There’s no price increase on the battery.
