Apple has finally come up with a way for Apple-authorized technicians to repair Face ID without having to replace the entire iPhone, almost four years after debuting the Face ID-laden notch with the iPhone X. This move was announced to Apple staff in a new internal document, according to MacRumors. The following are the specifics.
iPhone Face ID Repairs Made Easy
According to reports, Apple will begin distributing a new TrueDepth Camera service part for Face ID repairs to Apple Stores and Authorized Service Providers. This part will include all of the components for Face ID and the front camera, allowing technicians to perform same-unit repairs.
As a result, there will be no need to replace the complete iPhone, as is currently the case. As a result, in addition to saving professionals the trouble of a full-part replacement, Apple’s carbon footprint will be reduced. It’ll be another move in the company’s “effort to lessen its products’ carbon footprint.”
Users will save time setting up their iPhones and will not have to worry about losing data as a result of this. Another benefit is that the cost of repairing the Face ID will be cheaper than the cost of replacing the entire device, allowing users to save money.
This news comes after Apple recently announced that Self-Service Repairs are now available, allowing people to repair their iPhones at home. This project provides genuine Apple parts and tools to users so they may repair their iPhones at home instead of depending on third-party service providers. This program is now only available for the iPhone 12 and 13 series, but it is likely to be expanded to include additional Apple devices in the future.
Returning to the most recent repair modification, no news on when technicians will be able to begin the process of replacing just the Face ID component. There’s also no news on how much it will cost. The technicians will receive the documentation and training information at a later time.
