American tech giant Apple is adding a TrueDepth camera repair option for easier Face ID repairs to its iPhone X users.
As per ANI, Apple reportedly will soon provide a new Face ID repair option for iPhone X that doesn’t involve replacing the whole device.
“The option comes after Apple’s recent shift too soon provide a TrueDepth Camera service option that can fix the face unlock feature of the 2018 iPhone XS and newer models but didn’t previously include the 2017 iPhone X,” ANI reported from Washington.
This decision by the company comes as a piece of good news to all those still carrying the 2017 iPhone model and also living with dysfunctional Face ID.
Repairing just the Face ID component can be difficult since it’s a little complex system involving four components a food illuminator, dot projector, ‘TrueDepth’ front camera, and an IR camera.
The food illuminator is a part of the display assembly, separate from the TrueDepth camera module. Failure to properly transfer it during a screen replacement previously would mean permanently losing Face ID.
