In mid-February, Apple introduced a new method for repairing iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 models that have certain issues that would normally require replacing the entire device. The technique is now being expanded to Pro and Pro Max models.
Both Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers have recently introduced a new "iPhone Rear System" part, which consists of the rear casing of an iPhone with all components except the display and rear camera, including the battery, logic board, wireless charging coil, Taptic Engine, Face ID system, and so on. This tool now supports all four iPhone 12 models, as MacRumors learned from an internal memo experience So, for example, if a customer has an iPhone 12 Pro model with a cracked back glass, technicians can replace the entire back part of the device, bonding the new casing to the original display and rear camera.
iPhone 12 repair: Apple wants to reduce carbon footprint
The documents show that devices are only eligible for a same-unit repair if they do not turn on or have problems with the logic board, Face ID system or the device's casing - such as a cracked rear glass. According to Apple, the new repair method is available in all countries and regions where the iPhone 12 series is marketed. According to Apple, this step is intended to support the company's ongoing commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of every product sold. (Photo by Jshanebutt / Bigstockphoto)
