Major breakthrough in iPhone repair!
If you have a problem with Face ID on your iPhone, we have good news for you if it comes to a repair.
Repairing your smartphone is never fun. You have to go to the store and then the employee will tell you how serious the damage is. The sooner they fix the problem, the better of course. In that regard, there is now a breakthrough to report when it comes to FaceID repair on an iPhone. The repair is much easier.
In terms of costs, it can be more interesting to go to a third party for a repair on your iPhone than directly at Apple. Those third parties now have access to individual parts to resolve issues with FaceID. In the past, the entire iPhone had to be converted for a fix in that area. Parts that were not broken at all were also replaced. That detour is now a thing of the past for repairers. Top!
To be a bit more specific. This is a repair to the camera for FaceID on the front of an iPhone. Third parties gain access to individual parts of the TrueDepth camera. The iPhone XS and newer models can be repaired in this way. If you have an iPhone X, unfortunately it is bad luck, then the complete phone will still have to be disassembled. (via Macrumors)
