The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.
Why this grade
PIRG's 2026 EPREL scorecard rates Motorola the most repairable smartphone brand (B+), citing the most-improved ease of disassembly. Motorola was the first major OEM to partner with iFixit for genuine parts and now also uses MobileSentrix as a parts distributor; service manuals with tool lists are available and DIY repairs with genuine parts keep the warranty. Budget builds keep parts pricing reasonable and little parts-pairing is reported. No exact recent iFixit numeric score was available to anchor repair-friendliness, so this is held conservatively to a high-D despite PIRG's B+ — hence medium confidence; PIRG ranks it best of the four majors.
