If you choose to replace the battery iPhone XS, XS Max or XR and save money by turning an unofficial service center, get ready to face a new irritant protection system.
according to the report iFixit, starting with the 2018 models, Apple began to put on the iPhone battery protection that can be removed only authorized services. If this is not done, the smartphone will alert you that it can not verify the authenticity of the battery on the - even if it is original.
Warning can be closed, but from the other implications of the new Apple policy not get rid of. If the settings open the item "Battery» → «Battery Status", you can not follow the battery health. Instead, it displays another message about the need to contact the service.
For the first time on this blocking yutuber I told Justin channel The Art of Repair. iFixit decided to repeat the experiment. To do this, we take the iPhone XS and replaced it with a new battery original battery. The result was the same and iOS 12, and iOS beta 13.
According to Justin himself, the iPhone battery is worth a microcontroller, which transfers the motherboard smartphone data about temperature, maximum capacity and time to fully charge. The new iPhone have added an extra degree of protection which attaches particular battery to the motherboard. If you notice a misalignment of the phone, it will require the user to be applied to the service.
It seems that Apple service centers use software that updates the battery number, tied to a board. Of course, access to this program, there is no one other than Apple and partner stores.
