According to The Verge, Face ID no longer blocks the beta version of iOS 15.2, even if you replace the screen.This is obviously excellent news for all consumers wishing to replace their screen with a third party other than Apple and approved resellers.Apple said it will deploy the software update about a week ago, all without specifying when it arrives.

Now that the update is deployed, it is much easier to repair the iPhone 13 screen without making Face ID unusable in the process.

But while the functionality now works on a replacement screen, Apple has always made sure to keep things under its "control", so to speak.Any iPhone 13 whose screen has been replaced will display a notification indicating that the device cannot say if the component is an "authentic Apple".Even if the screen is actually a checked part.

Apple is famous (or sadly famous) for its reluctance to allow repairs by third parties on its devices, especially on the iPhone.And society has gave it a lot of trouble to achieve this in recent years.The controversy is such that even the co -founder of the company, Steve Wozniak, spoke to say that it was time for Apple to "do what it takes" in matters of the right to repair policy.

At a time when you read these lines, the third beta version of iOS 15.2 is currently available for tests.

What does Apple do with the iPhone 13 screens?

It has already been reported that the reason why Face ID is blocking on the iPhone 13 whose screen has been replaced is something small enough not to be noticed.A tiny microcontroller on the original screen, which apparently sees the smartphone equipment, is the main reason.It was the IFIXIT repair company that discovered it for the first time when it is complete.It was discovered that if the microcontroller of the screen does not correspond to the unique serial number of the smartphone, Face ID will not work.This ended up making repairs by third parties impossible (again), which caused a reaction from consumers and the press.

The only solution to bypass the "repair trap", as has been called, is to bring your iPhone to an Apple approved repair workshop.There, technicians will benefit from training and equipment approved by the company, which is not the case for all third -party repair centers.

It works

For the moment, it seems that the "corrective" works as expected.Appleinsider reports that a third-party-based third-party repair company, called icorrect, has put the test.And, it turns out that replacing the screen of one iPhone 13 with another fact flashes "the warning" indicating to the user that the new screen cannot be considered as an authentic Apple component.

Here is a video that explains in detail how Icorrect proceeded:

Until the official release of iOS 15.2, take this news with tweezers.Monitor new developments, and by then protect your phone screen as much as possible to avoid expensive repairs.
