Apple will block iPhones on which stolen spare parts are installed

Apple will block iPhones on which during repair will be installed parts from stolen devices. About this writes the relevant publication 9to5MAC.

The new function will be introduced in iOS 18, the release of which is scheduled for September 16. Information about serial numbers of components of the iPhone - batteries, cameras, screens will now be tied to the user account.

If, when you turn on the renovated device, it finds that the new part was obtained from an iPhone, which included the functions of the Activation Lock or Lost Mode, the user will require entering the password to unlock it.

• iOS 18 will be preinstalled by new models of the iPhone 16 series, which Apple announced a few days earlier. Their sales will begin on September 20.
