Back when the iPhone 13 was first released, a teardown video from Phone Repair Guru revealed that Apple had made the iPhone 13 more difficult for third-party repair shops to work with. Now, iFixit has confirmed the news, which could spell trouble for many phone repair shops that rely on iPhone fixes to get by.
According to iFixit, removing the screen and replacing it on an iPhone 13 completely disables Face ID. The screen is by far one of the most common repairs that smartphone users have to make for their devices. For a time, it was also considered one of the simplest repairs that third-party shops could perform. Now, though, Apple could be threatening all of that.
