Replacing the display causes problems – because Apple wants it that way

As soon as the iPhone 13 is available, the first problems with the display become noticeable. According to a new report, normal repair shops cannot replace the iPhone’s display themselves because Apple intervenes.

iPhone 13: Difficulty replacing the display

Apple is generally known for only having repairs on iPhones and other products carried out by their own hands. Third party will made life difficultwhich is also noticeable negatively on the recently introduced iPhone 13. A first report on the topic makes it clear that Apple is again putting obstacles in the way of repair shops.

According to the YouTuber Phone Repair Guru, who took a very close look at the display of the iPhone 13, a repair by third-party providers is simply not possible according to the current state of knowledge. If they try to replace the display anyway, they will come across one insurmountable hurdle, for which Apple probably took care of itself.

It is true that the display can also be exchanged on the iPhone 13, but then Face ID no longer works. Apple apparently automatically deactivates the biometric function when the original screen is no longer in question. Only Apple itself or an authorized repair center can then provide a remedy (source: Phone Repair Guru).

iPhone 13: display repair only with your own chips

The expert from Phone Repair Guru states that a display repair with a working Face ID is possible, but some Chips exchanged in the cell phone would have to be. At this point at the latest, most third-party providers are likely to drop out for cost and logistics reasons and refer to Apple. However, Apple has received praise for other components. For example, the microphone and the proximity sensor can be easily replaced.
