Earlier, because iOS 15 would disable the Face ID function after changing the screen, Apple was slammed by the majority of iPhone users and third-party repair service providers. However, according to iFixit repair experts, the Cupertino technology giant has fixed this Bug that prevented third parties from changing the screen of the iPhone 13 in the iOS 15.2 update.
In fact, shortly after the release of the iPhone 13 series of smartphones, someone discovered that Apple had forcibly bound the display panel and the Face ID component together. In extreme cases, even if the original screens of two brand new devices of the same model are replaced with each other, the Face ID component will be disabled after this operation.
Although it is not clear whether Apple is deliberate or unintentional, this restriction still makes it almost impossible for a third party to change the screen of the iPhone 13. Under the pressure of huge public opinion, Apple at least said that it will “fix” the problem in subsequent software updates.
From the recent iOS 15.2 beta test version, Apple seems to have fulfilled this promise-even though iFixit verified it, the system will still pop up a message Cannot verify whether the replacement part is a genuine accessory after the screen is changed.
In addition, Apple seems to have introduced a service and parts history feature to explain in detail its concerns about unverified components in the iPhone. Obviously, Apple hopes to collect data related to non-original parts for service requirements, safety analysis, and improvement of future products.
Finally, in addition to the warning message that pops up on the screen, after a third-party screen change, iOS 15.2 still cannot enable advanced display features such as True Tone.
