iFixit has discovered that if the iPhone 12 camera module is transferred to a different iPhone 12, it becomes entirely unreliable.iPhone 12 camera module is transferred to a different iPhone 12, it becomes entirely unusable. iFixit says that Apple could also be looking to return down hard on third-party repairs with this iPhone 12 camera issue.
Furthermore, Apple’s internal training guide accessed by iFixit ascertains that this is not a hardware defect but may be a software tweak that Apple may or might not have intentionally introduced. The guide explains to authorised technicians that they’re going to got to run Apple’s proprietary cloud-linked System Configuration app to completely repair cameras and screens on iPhone 12 and later phones.
In its report, iFixit says that when an iPhone 12₹ 79,900 camera is transferred to a different iPhone 12, it doesn’t work reliably in the least . The report explains that it appears to figure initially, but ‘fails miserably in actual use.’ After the swap, the camera only responds to certain modes, hangs occasionally, refuses to modify to ultra-wide mode, and becomes completely unresponsive on some occasions.
It should be noted that an equivalent behaviour doesn’t get repeated when the iPhone 12 Pro₹ 149,900 cameras are swapped, and it only seems to be affecting iPhone 12 units. this might be a software tweak that Apple may have unintentionally introduced, and a fix could also be unrolled now that the matter has been called out. However, given Apple’s known discouragement against repairing its devices with third-party technicians, this tiny tweak – if introduced intentionally – doesn’t come as an excessive amount of of a surprise.
It explicitly tells technicians that starting with iPhone 12, they’re going to got to run Apple’s proprietary cloud-linked System Configuration app to completely repair cameras and screens.
In the past, display issues were reported when technicians tried to swap LCD screen on iPhone 7₹ 24,999 and iPhone 8 Plus. This was because Apple used three different manufacturers for these phones.
