The manufacturer is firmly against using parts from stolen smartphones. To address this, Apple has implemented Activation Lock \u2014 a feature that links not only the device but also its components to the user’s account. Each component has a unique serial number. This new policy will affect all iPhone users running iOS 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what happens if the activation lock detects a non-original part? The device will prompt the user to enter the Apple ID password of the original device \u2014 the one to which the parts originally belonged. If the owner cannot provide this password, the part will be partially or fully blocked. However, the phone itself will not be locked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to Avoid Installing Non-original Parts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you go to a third-party repair shop, they typically do not disclose which parts are being used for replacements. These might be Chinese knock-offs, used parts, or components from stolen iPhones. It\u2019s important to understand that only authorized service centers, such as Apple\u2019s, carry original parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only way to avoid having parts blocked and prevent issues with your phone’s performance is to service it at an authorized center, like iSpace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, repairs at authorized centers are more advantageous because they come with warranty services \u2014 a benefit only available at authorized shops. For instance, if a manufacturing defect is discovered within a year, iSpace will perform the repairs for free without affecting your warranty. But if you go to an unauthorized shop for the same issue, you’ll have to pay out of pocket, and your remaining warranty will be void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n iSpace \u2014 Official Apple Representative in Georgia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The advantages for customers are clear. iSpace stores offer the widest selection of Apple products, and their authorized service workshop follows strict manufacturer standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is your case out of warranty?
