Every year after the release of the new generation of iPhone, a lot of information about potential repairs is released online. Practically every time we hear that replacing the screen permanently deactivates Face ID. A similar situation occurred with older iPhone models and the replacement of the Touch ID fingerprint reader.
After the premiere of the iPhone 13, information appeared on the network suggesting that the next-generation Face ID will not work with the replaced screen. This has been true until today.

Apple has taken an unprecedented step. The manufacturer changed the procedures. They will make it easier to replace the screen on the latest iPhone models.
The first repairs of the iPhone 13 showed that in order to keep the Face ID function working after replacing the screen, it is necessary to resolder a small chip that is responsible for the function. The case was first reported by the iFixit portal, which completely dismantled the iPhone 13 into its first parts.
It turns out that this step is no longer necessary. All you need is special software that will allow you to reprogram Face ID.
Apple will release a software update that will not require the microcontroller to be moved to a new panel to keep Face ID functional. The information was provided by The Verge.
Unfortunately, the giant from Cupertino has not released new software yet. We also do not know when it will hit the market. This is one of the few steps where Apple makes it easy to repair its hardware.
Interestingly, the latest MacBook Pro computers are also easier to repair than the previous generation.
