Another blow to unauthorized services. This is exactly how one of the upcoming news could be described without any exaggeration Apple at least according to the beta code to be implemented in iOS 14.4. This should now recognize whether the phone has an original or non-original camera module, and in the latter case, it will notify the user with a notification. And perhaps not only that. 

It's no secret that Apple long-term efforts to promote repairs in authorized service centers for their products, as only they have original parts. Moreover, the technicians in them are trained directly Applem, thanks to which they can provide a perfect repair service in the standards that the Californian giant requires. However, their prices are often significantly higher than those of unauthorized services, which is why they are neglected by some apple buyers. To prevent this from happening, he started extra Apple in the past to monitor software repairs of iPhones, with the fact that as soon as the phone recognizes that some parts are not original, it alerts the user with a notification. For example, the Battery Condition function is deactivated for batteries, which is intended to help users decide on battery service. In addition to the battery, the display of iPhones, for example, is currently treated in this way with software.

For displays and batteries, iOS 14.4 will also add camera modules. On non-original it will be Apple according to the code, notify the phone owner with the message “Unable to verify that this iPhone original camera Apple” with the fact that the message will be supplemented with a link to authorized camera services. At the moment, unfortunately, it cannot be ruled out that after a certain time, non-original camera modules may stop working - either partially or completely. At least this is indicated by the findings of the specialized website iFixit, according to which Apple since last year, authorized camera repairs require the launch of a special configuration application to get the whole module up and running. If the repairer fails to do so, the module may function poorly or even not function at all.
