Screen not original iPhone 13

With each new iPhone launch, one of the curiosities that many users have is the price that we must pay for change through Apple or authorized resellers, the battery, the back, the screen or some other element of the device.

Apple has always been very much his when it comes to opening the hand that users can choose where to repair their devices, the so-called right to repair. The YouTube Phone Repair Guru, has revealed this problem by replace the iPhone 13 screen with a non-original one.

Phone Repair Guru shows in a new video as the only solution if your iPhone screen breaks is go to an authorized center since Face ID will stop working.

When the microphone, ambient light sensor, and proximity sensor on the iPhone 13 are replaced everything works as you'd expect. But when the iPhone 13 screen is replaced with a new one, this will detect that it is not an original screen and Face ID will stop working.

This iPhone cannot be verified to have an original Apple screen.

Phone Repair Guru explains the simplest solution is to transfer some chips from the old screen to the new screen, but most repair shops won't because it is a very complex and time consuming process.

Apple is already facing a lot of controversy when it comes to the Right to Repair and this will only make it more difficult for new owners of the iPhone 13 repair your iPhones in a different location than Apple.

To avoid this problem, it is best to always use both a screen protector and a case.

    The first thing is not to use a protector, it is not to buy anything from Apple.

    This is nothing new .
    Already in previous it happened.
    If you repair the screen with an unofficial one from the iPhone X and higher, Face ID does not work UNLESS you change all the chips in the camera, which is very difficult.
    The same thing happened a lifetime with Touch ID. If you changed the screen it didn't work.
    Unless you changed the Touch ID chips.
