iPhone 12 reparability test by iFixit has revealed that the camera module on the newest Apple offering is not exchangeable. If the iPhone 12 camera module is shifted to another iPhone 12, it becomes entirely impractical. The San Luis Obispo based company, iFixit has said that Apple might be looking to come down hard on 3rd -party repairs with this iPhone 12 camera problem. Additionally, the tech giant’s internal training guide is accessed by the repairing company has ascertained that this is not a hardware flaw but is a software nip that Apple might or might not have deliberately presented. The guide has explained to authorized technicians that they will need to run Apple’s proprietary cloud-linked System Configuration application to completely repair cameras and screens on iPhone 12 and other smartphones.
In its report, iFixit has said that when an iPhone 12 camera is moved to another iPhone 12, it does not work consistently at all. The report has explained that it seems to work originally, but fails despondently indefinite use. After the switch, the camera only replies to specific modes, hangs infrequently, rejects to switch to ultra-wide mode, and it becomes entirely insensitive in few cases.

It should be distinguished that similar behavior doesn’t get recurrent when the iPhone 12 Pro cameras are exchanged, and it just appears to be disturbing iPhone 12 units. This can be a software tweak that the tech giant might have non-intentionally presented, and a fix might be released out now that the issue has been announced. Although, given Apple’s known dissuasion against mending its devices with 3rd-party experts, this little nip if presented non- intentionally which does not arrive as too much of a shock.
The private company, iFixit further dug into Apple’s authorized internal training guides for iPhone 12. It obviously tells specialists that initiating with iPhone 12, they would need to run Apple’s branded cloud-linked System Configuration application to completely repair cameras and screens.
In the past, display issues were described when specialists tried to switch LCD screens on iPhone 7 and 8 +. This was due to the company which used 3 dissimilar producers for these smartphones. It stays to be perceived if the same unplanned issue outbreaks iPhone 12, or if the company is deliberately disheartening 3rd-party repairs. iFixit previously gave it a repairability score of six out of ten but is currently reassessing it after the latest camera replacement problem arose.
