Apple is soon going to release a new update for the iPhone 13 series. By which all your tension will end. The new update will allow for screen replacement without breaking Face ID. Apple has not announced any release date for this yet. 

New Delhi. Apple will release a new update for the iPhone 13 series that will allow for screen replacement without breaking Face ID. Soon after the launch of the iPhone 13 series, repair experts found that swapping out the screen on the phone would break Face ID, unless a tiny control chip from the original screen was replaced with a new one. 

It was difficult to repair

The process is quite tedious and has made one of the most common types of repairs for independent mobile repair outlets quite difficult. Apple-authorized repair shops, on the other hand, have access to a restricted software tool that allows the iPhone to easily accept a new screen.

new update will make work easier

As The Verge reports, this is now set to change once the update is rolled out. This will allow screen replacement on the iPhone 13 without the need for transfer of the microcontroller.

Independent repair shops can breathe a sigh of relief

iFixit previously noted that removing the microcontroller was so difficult that it would have required a microscope. This may have hit independent repair shops, but the new update means they can breathe a sigh of relief. 

It’s unclear when the update will be released at this time – Apple hasn’t announced a release date for it yet. Apple is known to restrict repairs on iPhones, and this move comes as a surprise. The most plausible explanation for this may be the US government’s push to strengthen the ‘right to repair’ rules.
