It's done: the third beta of iOS 15.2 no longer blocks Face ID on the iPhone 13 during a screen change made excluding Official Apple circuit.At the end of September, DIY enthusiasts had realized that a micropuce disabled the function in the event of a screen change.For everything to work normally, repairers had to recover the defective screen chip to reinstall it on the new slab: complex manipulation requiring specific equipment.Last week, Apple had finally retroped by explaining that an iOS update was going to delete this limitation.

Spotted by The Verge, a video of the Icorrect channel shows that the third beta of iOS 15.2 no longer deactivates Face ID if the screen has been changed without the repairer having moved the micropuce.However, an error message appears at launch, explaining that the phone could not check if the slab was authentic.It is not really surprising: Apple also displays this kind of notification for the photo blocks or the batteries in the event of a change made outside the official circuit.

It is a relief for independent stores, which can repair the screens of the latest iPhone models without having to make additional manipulation arDS.This is also good news for customers who do not live near an Apple Store or an approved dealer.It remains to be seen if Apple will not change an opinion between the beta and the public release of iOS 15.2, which would be very surprising.
