We can say that this year has been quite annoying for iPhone users due to recurring security problems from fraudulent applications and the CSAM system. With a new report published, now, a new one has been added to these negative developments that cause users to cool off from the iPhone.
According to a new report, if damaged iPhone 13 screens are repaired by another organization and not by Apple, Face ID, which is the primary way for many users to protect their phones, will become ineffective. The weirdest part is that even if a third-party repairer uses a genuine Apple iPhone 13 screen, the phone will prompt “Cannot verify that this iPhone has a genuine Apple screen” and Face ID will be disabled.
Just a ‘mistake’ or a conscious decision?
From Right to Repair to cheap aftermarket parts, there are several theories as to why Apple made such a decision. Apple tried to do the same before when the iPhone 12 was first released; but he couldn’t. It seems that the company has found another way to achieve this with the iPhone 13.
A repair specialist came up with a workaround against this measure from Apple; however, this solution is so complex that it is often impossible to do it, the expert says. It is also worth noting that even if a solution is possible, it will cost a lot and take time.
As can be expected, Apple received quite negative reactions after this decision. The company may come out as it has done before and say it was just a “mistake”; but it seems that Apple is creating a pattern around the iPhone: locked software and hardware, device image scanning and reporting, and a willingness to bow to pressure from the Chinese and Russian government. Whether this is an error or not; One thing is for sure, if this problem does not go away, many users will reconsider their decision to use iPhone.
