Apple has once again run into a problem by making things difficult for independent repair shops to fix or replace things in the iPhone. This time the issue is the iPhone 13 screen and Face ID facial recognition, but Apple says it will address the problem with an upcoming firmware update.

Apple’s latest collision with the DIY repair industry concerns screen replacement on the iPhone 13, which breaks Face ID unless a little control chip from the original display is transferred to the new screen. It’s all reminiscent of Apple’s Error 53 fiasco with the iPhone 6 and replacement Touch ID sensors.
