Breaking the screen on an iPhone 13 is a double nightmare… if you get a non-Apple repair it disables Face ID. Good news – Apple’s now fixing this.
Apple has revealed plans to release an iOS update that will address the Face ID headache currently impacting indie repair shops performing iPhone 13 screen replacements.
The team at iFixit published a report on November 4 that revealed the latest iPhone model disables Face ID when the screen is replaced by someone other than an authorized Apple technician. At the core of the issue is a small microcontroller described as about the size of a Tic-Tac located on the bottom of the phone’s screen.
Apple has told The Verge it will release a software update that eliminates the need to move the small chip from one screen to another. Though the company didn’t say when the update will roll out, the change should reverse this problem and allow for anyone to replace an iPhone 13 display without the extra hassle and risk.
