Some prerequisites
Good to know, however: to avoid ending up with an unusable biometric unlock, your iPhone 13, your iPhone 13 mini, your iPhone 13 Pro or your iPhone 13 Pro Max must be running a specific version of its operating system . And this is not within everyone's reach, since it is in fact aboutiOS 15.2 beta 3. Now available to the general public, it may still be the victim of some bugs, so it is not recommended to install it on a device used daily.
It is unclear when iOS 15.2 will be available in final edition. Usually it is only a matter of days. For example, the previous version - namely iOS 15.1 - arrived on Tuesday October 26 in the early evening, for an RC (release candidate; latest beta) just a week before. Knowing that it is also generally necessary to allow seven to twelve days between each beta and that there are most often five of them, we can therefore assume that the iPhone 13 screen will be repairable by a third party without affecting the good one. how Face ID works from herenext month.
