Nigerians may have to travel abroad to fix iPhone 13 if screen is damaged

Published




The iPhone 13 which Apple released earlier this month will hinder users from using the Face ID feature if the screen is replaced by a third-party, such as a phone repairer.

This means that if an iPhone 13 user damages their screen, they must go to an Apple store to have it replaced if they wish to continue to unlock their phone or perform other activities using the Face ID feature.

According to Mashable, a YouTube channel which specializes in phone repair took apart the phone to observe and document its hardware features for a video, but after a deep dive through its contents, they discovered what they called “catastrophic to third party repair.”

When a third-party, such as a repair store or even the owner of the phone themselves, replace the iPhone 13 screen, Face ID ceases to work completely.

A pop-up message will appear on the screen saying, “Important Display Message. Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple display” and after that, Face ID will cease to work.
