Apple
Apple documents iPhone repair, battery service and genuine-part certified repair. Actual eligibility still varies with vintage/obsolete status and parts availability.

Across 515 smartphone sales records, this separates the original-carrier repair-status route from officially documented Apple, Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy repair/battery channels. It never guesses current repair acceptance from release age alone.

Google Pixel
Google documents in/out-of-warranty Pixel repair, and its Japan partner information lists a mail-in route for Pixel 6 and later. Older generations are not auto-promoted into that route.
Google source →Samsung Galaxy
Samsung documents walk-in/mail-in Galaxy repair using genuine parts. Carrier variants still require an exact-model and original-carrier status check.
Samsung source →Four Japanese carriers
Every record retains an official Docomo, au, SoftBank or Rakuten Mobile repair-status route. Current carrier information takes priority over any age-based assumption.

A repair route alone does not make an individual used phone safe to buy. Use Phase115 for the unit condition, Phase117 for OS/security lifecycle, and Phase116 for exact-model network/SIM/FeliCa checks.
