Thanks to this measure, users have the ability to repair Face ID without having to replace their iPhone.

According to the statements of the Cupertino company, only a few models, especially the iPhone XS and the brand’s latest smartphones such as iPhone 11 and iPhone 12, are eligible to participate in this new program.
