In the behind they will put some voltage increasing code that gets activated when it sense non genuine parts, that increase of volt will burn the device... Sound simple but illegal. Or could be they will down voltages... That's it.
I'm glad that in Poland we don't have simlock unlike usa and that we are in EU. But EU is not key player in this game. USA could enforce this but they don't want to for some reasons, they are just making monopoly with these greedy companies. Corruptions, perhaps?

Another thing that they are doing is that you have the option to pair parts to your Apple ID so if your phone is stolen, you can lock your parts behind your Apple ID to get rid of genuine part errors
Oh 100%. But considering that for years, iPhones were one of the most targeted pieces of electronics to steal and Apple themselves has been subjected to billions in thefts through warranty fraud they absolutely had to lock things down both to protect themselves and their customers. The fact that they are helping sponsor right to repair bills in California, and leading the charge in creating systems that both protect customer's property and privacy while finding ways to retain a level of repairability is actually a pretty decent move. It's not perfect, but sadly we don't live in a perfect world.
@@Dreadpirateflappy for a muppets from non EU "After the legal guarantee has expired, the manufacturer is still required to repair common household products, which are technically repairable under EU law, such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and even smartphones.

Please state the price of this repair PRIOR to the discount you chose to provide on this occasion. Also, make sure to do this in every subsequent video you make.
It would be good if the firmware takes note of how many parts have been replaced as a way for Apple to know the failure rate of various parts. That way they can update the design of them to make them stronger etc.
@@ultra1obscene Screens are one of the most commonly damaged parts on phones, misused or not. Even if people were throwing their phones into walls they can still use that data to decide which parts need strengthening.

The catch is that the screen or battery must not be bounded to any Apple ID. This goes for iPhone 15 and later. And iPhone 12 and later supports this feature.
I think that’s actually a good thing. Now you can’t steal phones and sell them for parts. If you acquire a phone legitimately you can have them unpair the parts.
@@devin2156 Exactly since London (mainly) is going on a frenzy about stealing iPhones and selling for parts in China. A third party repair will only require the AppleID as a additional step.
The error message will still come up if it’s not an authentic apple part though. So it’s still gonna be expensive, an amazon screen you’re still stuck with the error message.
That explains why my true tone is back😭😭 I was soo happy when I found out yesterday. It happened on iOS 18.1 for me and I immediately noticed the yellow tint after the first boot
I used to fix screens for years and most of what we got was refurbished original screens. Basically we would sell the cracked glass good screen ones to a guy. He would cut off the glass and digitizer and use the original screen to make a refurb one. Those would still throw the warnings even though it was all (technically) original. Now they shouldn’t do that
@@iDoctorUK You can bet that it will have to be coded from apple to the phones serial before its sent out....they will just charge 600 for a new screen when oems are 200...if you were hoping the oem parts would be able to be coded to stop the message then think again. Nothing changes, just that there is a way if you wanted to repair it yourself but will not work out much cheaper if going for private repair with official coded parts.
Makes me so happy to see them make this change. But insane that they can fix this with an IOS update, shows that nothing was wrong with the hardware but that they coded the software to reject it on purpose.
I wish Face ID wouldn’t be serialized and that it were easier for us to recalibrate it ourselves, along with many other components, which is frustrating in terms of the Right to Repair.
To some degree, it will make things easier, but I saw you install an aftermarket Repart screen. Great screen yes, but it will still show the "Unknown part" message, since it is not a genuine apple display. Hopefully people will figure out a work around. One already exists that isn't too difficult for the screen, but I have yet to find one that will do it for the battery after the iOS 17 update went through
There is also a huge downside to this. Let’s say you have an activation locked phone that you use for parts. Now with 18 those parts are also activation locked. Meaning that activation locked devices are completely useless. I know that a lot of devices get stolen and the parts sold, but this is just stupid. Now even devices that are sold by the original owner but they didn’t reset it correctly won’t be able to be used at all
I tried today changing the taptic engine and upgrading to ios 18. It worked 🎉🎉, on ios 18 the taptic engine works perfectly fine which wasn't the case on ios 17
I’ve just upgraded to it on my 15 plus and within the matter of hours my battery health dropped from 100 to 98% and my device is now laggy as! Waiting for a reply from support but luckily I’ve still got my warranty
A phone being laggy after software update might be a temporary condition while the os is doing background optimisation, so you might want to wait for a moment if the situation will fix itself. 98 % battery health also doesn’t sound like any kind of problem, it’s still very high and batteries do degrade. A new software version might also have a slightly different calibration to the battery health monitor causing a different number being reported.
I let a shop replace my screen a few years ago, i paid them $200 and my screen was so glitchy after i would of just rather kept the cracked screen as it was still usable
Sadly the parts pairing feature doesn’t seem to work on older iPhones I’ve heard it’s 12 and newer. I installed iOS 18 on my iPhone 11 that’s had its battery and screen replaced (both oem) and still get the unknown part message.
Second win is that if the part is from a stolen phone, ergo, it was stripped from an iCloud locked phone, then it won’t work. This is massive and may well impact the phone theft pandemic.
not really, IC transfers are a thing (it's how these repairs are often done currently) and those will bypass the serialization checks Apple is doing on these parts
Unless something has happened in the last few years the glass digitiser and lcd have been bonded together since the 6 and its not economically viable (and sometimes physically impossible) to replace just the glass.
Doesn’t the calibration tool only work for official Apple parts? Which Apple does sell brand new, but usually those parts cost as much as a repair from Apple?
I might be missing some points here, but as far as I know, apple does not sell first party screen replacements right? If so, does that mean any "non-genuine" aka third party screen, is not included?
Imagine if after a repair now, apple just do things to slow your phone down over a quicker time than normal to make it "feel" like everything is normal. I wouldn't put it past them
Hey iDoctorUk, really satisfying videos! Just a little tip, invest a few bucks in a Bowl lined with velvet to hand over the phones to you customers. This will highly upgrade the experience of your customers!
ALSO, YOU can use a OEM front proximity flex with ear speaker, Flood Illuminator etc etc in replacement of clients damaged one and it will now retain Face-ID functionality. But it HAS TO BE OEM. 3rd party ones will still not work for Face-ID. I have done just about 8-10 of these repairs so far and all have worked after calibration. This is a HUGE HUGE PLUS for the Repair industry.
Tbf, why would you want none genuine parts anyway. I’ve seen people in the part get iPhone screens replaced and the screen looked like arse. Back in the day I’ve replaced a few screens easily enough but now days with the water proofing etc I’d rather just pay the £10 a month apple care and let them fix it for me if I smash my screen etc. probably still works out cheaper than getting a replacement at a shop anyway even with the excess 🤷♂️ they usually just replace it with a brand new one anyway 😂
Could you restore a dead phone?? I have an iPhone XS Max. I’ve tried with some repair shops and they said that it’s not fixable. Just wondering if you still could restore it?
The worst type of companies are companies that try to make it hard on you to repair your items. I dont understand why people continue to buy their products.
You may have forgotten but it wasn't too long ago that iPhones were one of the most highly targeted items to steal in the world. Apple has been relentless in trying to stop this. They rolled out things like activation lock to make them less desirable only to have them taken apart and the pieces sold to repair shops. And not only were people stealing customer's phones, they were buying phones direct from Apple, harvesting the parts out and replacing them with knockoff parts and then smashing the phone and returning it under warranty to essentially get a bunch of genuine parts for a huge discount. Apple's attempts to lock this all down have actually been for the protection of them and their customers. But obviously it's had a downside and each year Apple has worked to re-open that up a bit more to 3rd party shops. Hopefully this annoying transition phase will be over soon and iPhones will be secure, not desirable for theft and repairable. But it's a journey for sure. And you might not know this, but Apple is actually sponsoring right to repair bills. They do actually want this. But stopping theft incentives has been a priority. And I for one support them.
I have no doubt in my mind that you’re a reputable service, but I’ve been to too many backstreet services and tried to have a phone fixed and they can’t even put the phone back together correctly I will continue to take mine to Apple if and when it has issues
Big thing here is the replacement screen NEEDS to have the programmable IC Chip pre installed. Now alot of aftermarket screens come with the solder balls pre applied so u could move the old chip from the old broken genuine screen to the new aftermarket so it would remove the message and trick the phone into thinking it was a genuine. However, this is amazing. Just keep in mind that if the screen u are using does NOT have that chip preinstalled, you will still get the warning. I have been fixing electronics since I was 9, AMA
nah, imagine buying or using anything from apple. Just don't try to solve problems that doesn't exist. They does not exist on android devices, so why would you ask for hard, expensive work?!
How hard is it to get into soldering? Is most of the soldering people would need to do fairly complicated? Or typically easier than people think? Thanks! (I’m thinking about getting a kit and learning for future instances)
Yea iOS 18 will calibrate parts you install, but for us using OEMs at work. We have to create a repair ticket with Apple and then run self calibration on 18. Where before we had to use an online console to do this, Apple is making it easier for genuine repairs. Of course they won’t care for aftermarkets as not all parts are iPhone spec and just won’t work right 😆
For everyone thanking the EU, just remember the UK doesn't get app stores because of not being in the EU and doesn't get apple intelligence because of an EU law that wasn't changed enough to allow apple intelligence in UK law

Now alot of aftermarket screens come with the solder balls pre applied so u could move the old chip from the old broken genuine screen to the new aftermarket so it would remove the message and trick the phone into thinking it was a genuine.
However, this is amazing. Just keep in mind that if the screen u are using does NOT have that chip preinstalled, you will still get the warning.
I have been fixing electronics since I was 9, AMA
Incorrect. Nothing to do with iOS18
@RUclips2021FM i didn't mention anything about ios 18? But ok, go off ig
Third parties will easily come up with a way to have them pre installed.
nah, imagine buying or using anything from apple. Just don't try to solve problems that doesn't exist. They does not exist on android devices, so why would you ask for hard, expensive work?!
How hard is it to get into soldering? Is most of the soldering people would need to do fairly complicated? Or typically easier than people think? Thanks! (I’m thinking about getting a kit and learning for future instances)
I hope you cleaned the speakers 😅
If you use not genuine part, are they gonna make it?
Yea iOS 18 will calibrate parts you install, but for us using OEMs at work. We have to create a repair ticket with Apple and then run self calibration on 18. Where before we had to use an online console to do this, Apple is making it easier for genuine repairs. Of course they won’t care for aftermarkets as not all parts are iPhone spec and just won’t work right 😆
Where did you get the genuine apple screen from?
We can make these companies change their ways if we shout loud enough for long enough, numbers make the difference!
Does the firmware upgrade color calibration work with Iphone 11 Pro max ? Nice job
Siri done her a solid there. Mine would have sabotaged me and told me it didn't know what I was asking for.
What are you using to record this video ? Is this done with the new glasses?
right to repair is great 2027 is supposed to have all phones with hot swap batteries like we had in early 2000s
For everyone thanking the EU, just remember the UK doesn't get app stores because of not being in the EU and doesn't get apple intelligence because of an EU law that wasn't changed enough to allow apple intelligence in UK law
Im so happy I never use a phone to lose time.
Hello! Do you repair broken back side of iphone 13pro as well?
