February 15 news, according to foreign media MacRumors reported that from reliable sources, Apple Apple Store and Apple authorized service providers will soon provide Face ID separate repair service. In the future, if there is a problem with the Face ID function of the mobile phone, the part can be repaired separately, and there is no need to replace the whole machine.
However, at present, only Face ID repairs for iPhone Xs and subsequent models are supported. The first iPhone X to support this feature is not on the repair list. Moreover, Apple has not yet announced a specific maintenance price, but according to Apple's pricing characteristics, it is estimated to be about 500 to 600 yuan, or even more expensive.
Apple Stores and licensed service providers can use the Apple Service Toolkit diagnostic tool to determine whether the Face ID module can be repaired or replaced. Apple will provide relevant documentation and training in the future.
It is understood that Apple authorized personnel will soon be able to use the new TrueDepth camera service part, which contains face ID modules and front camera modules, which can replace damaged devices. Apple officials said that the launch of face ID separate repair service, the purpose is to reduce the number of complete machine replacements, is part of Apple's commitment to reduce the carbon footprint of products, and in the end it is still for environmental protection.
It is understood that Apple's previous maintenance programs for face ID damaged models were basically replaced, which was too costly for overinduled users. Some netizens said that once Apple Face ID is damaged, it cannot be repaired to a third-party maintenance agency. However, the universal Huaqiang North seems to have cracked this technology long ago, and it was able to repair Face ID alone two years ago. Therefore, some netizens joked that Apple learned technology from Huaqiang North?
For iPhone users, Face ID is the only biometric unlock feature with high security, and once the feature is broken, you have to enter the password every time, which is really uncomfortable. Although Face ID is very easy to use, the probability of damage is also very high, sometimes it may be a slight fall, or accidental contact with water vapor will cause damage. When some netizens repair other parts after sales, Face ID is not available after repairing.
Today, Apple provides Face ID separate repair service, which can save users a certain degree of maintenance costs. I hope that Apple's offer can be relatively low, and you don't have to worry too much about the face unlock invalidation in the future.
