Soon after the launch, reports erupted on the internet that third-party screen replacement on iPhone 13 causes Face ID detection feature to disable. This is against the Right to repair moreover, it may result in breaking the backbone of the professional repair industry. This is a dark era for iPhone repair technicians and DIYers. Earlier Apple Inc. had introduced alterations in hardware that make repair tasks painstaking.

In order to do so, technicians require a microscope. Earlier, the same job was being done without any special equipment. It makes it almost impossible to do it for many iPhone repair technicians. On the other hand, a microscope asks for an investment of resources.
