Last month, the biometric unlocking system of the iPhone 13 was in the news becausesome noticed that a screen change not carried out in the Apple Store would knock out this technology. However, as we quickly saw, other previously released devices were not affected by this problem. A reaction from the manufacturer was therefore widely expected.
During an interview with the magazineThe Verge, Apple finally announced that an update was on the way to remedy this “bug”. However, we still do not know when this new version of iOS will arrive, or even what its official numbering will be.
A right for consumers?
Covered by AppleCare+ insurance, screen breakage is the most common damage encountered by iPhones. The most recent editions are however well equipped with a Ceramic Shield window (the trade name given by the manufacturer to the Gorilla Glass protection of the subcontractor Corning), but this is rarely enough to cope with serious shocks of several meters. height. What's more when the device does not have any additional film to combat this type of incident.
If it is more than honest for Apple to let users be able to repair their display with the competition, it is also because the prices in its own stores are very high.We thus find ourselves with prices of up to 361.10 euros for the iPhone 13 Pro Max panel, compared to 311.10 euros for the 6.1-inch diagonals and 251.10 euros for the iPhone 13 mini if no warranty service such as AppleCare+ has been subscribed to. Hard. For approved stores, on the other hand, the bill can sometimes not exceed a few dozen euros.
iOS 15 still available
At the moment, the most recent iOS update is iOS 15.2 (beta 2) but this is only available to developers. In addition, it therefore does not contain a fix for the Face ID issue. We can therefore assume that another early version, even iOS 15.3, will be entitled to it. We will of course keep you informed of future deployments in our columns.
