Until then, another highlight awaits Apple: thepublic version of iOS 18 released, scheduled for this Monday, September 16. The American manufacturer's operating system will offera new feature that allows you to repair a damaged iPhone more easily.
iOS 18 ensures that used spare parts work properly on iPhone
Last April, Apple announced that independent repairers could use used spare parts torefurbish certain iPhone models starting this fall.
The new “Repair Assistant” feature of iOS 18 goes in this direction. Its principle is simple: if your iPhone is damaged and the repair requires integrating a second-hand part (screen or battery, for example), you cancalibrate this new component with Repair Assistant so that your iPhone considers it as an authentic part.
Thisnew option of iOS 18is there to ensure thatthe new element and possible integrated technology, such as Face ID for a screen, work correctly.Setup may take a few minutes. Note that iOS 18 will allow you to see in your iPhone settings if your device has replacement parts.This also applies if you buy a second-hand Apple smartphone running iOS 18.
