Great idea!iOS 15.2 will display the history of the iPhone repair

It is amazing how much the company's policy can change under the influence of criticism.

We would like to remind you that Apple has just tried to prevent you from replacing the iPhone 13 screen in unauthorized websites, which was outrage of customers and service technicians.The company withdrew from this idea, and in addition it went a few steps away.

First, Apple announced a facilitation of self -repair of products.Now he has introduced an important improvement in the software.

iOS 15.2 will show if the iPhone was repaired and the new parts are original

Apple informs on its website that the upcoming iOS 15 system.2 will contain the history of repairs and parts. Znajdzie się ona w sekcji Ustawienia > Ogólne > Informacje.

The software will display the appropriate message, if the component used is not original, it was previously in a different iPhone or does not work properly.

For now, the system will recognize the replacement of only a few key parts.The list of detected components depends on the phone model:

The history of the repair is assigned to the serial number, which means that it cannot be erased by attaching factory settings.Apple informs, however, that it will be zeroed when the new serial number is assigned, which in the case of the iPhone is tantamount to replacement of the motherboard.

Apple has introduced a great convenience for customers

If someone gives the phone to an unauthorized service, they will be able to easily check if he has been pressed with "left" or used parts.The possibility of checking the history of the repair will also be appreciated by people buying second -hand iPhones.

For now, iOS 15.2 is only available in beta.The update should start soon.
