If you erroneously broke the iPhone 13 display and attempted to perform your own replacement procedure, Apple would disable Face ID, much to the dismay of customers and third-party repair personnel. Even if it was a genuine display, you could no longer access the device through facial recognition. Fortunately, things are taking a positive turn as Apple says it will stop locking down the feature.

Speaking to The Verge, Apple states that it will release a software update in the future that will not force you or third-party repair shops to transfer the microcontroller necessary to keep Face ID working after a screen replacement. Apple has not stated why it is moving away from its usual practice of locking down third-party repairs, but it might have something to do with all the criticism the technology giant has faced through media, Right to Repair advocates, and possibly infuriated customers.
