In this article, REWA Lab tests these updates by swapping parts between two <a href=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/de\/iphone-16-pro-teardown\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"31919\">iPhone 16 Pro<\/a> devices.

However, when we swapped the back glass on the iPhone 16 Pro, a &#8216;Parts &amp; Service History&#8217; notice appeared, indicating the detection of a new back glass. After configuration, the message disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31978\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-1.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 1.

Unlike other parts, the rear camera required calibration via the Repair Assistant, which involved moving the phone as prompted. It is important to note that calibrating the camera is just one step in running the Repair Assistant. In fact, after replacing the camera, the phone can still take photos or record videos normally, even without running the Repair Assistant calibration.&nbsp;Furthermore, after completing the process, the system marked the camera as &#8216;Used&#8217; in the parts history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31979\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-2.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 2.

After swapping the Face ID and running the Repair Assistant, the system fully restored Face ID functionality. Although it was recorded as a &#8216;Used&#8217; part in the system, this is a major improvement, as Face ID was previously tied to the motherboard and would not work after replacement in older iPhone models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31981\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-3.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 3.

Additionally, the &#8216;Parts &amp; Service History&#8217; indicated the battery required configuration. Once configured, the &#8216;Unknown Part&#8217; message disappeared, and battery health data&nbsp;returned, with the system marking the battery as a &#8216;Used&#8217; component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31982\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-4.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 4.

After configuring the system, True Tone was restored, and the screen was labeled as &#8216;Used&#8217; in the parts history. This emphasizes the importance of system configuration after screen replacements to maintain features like True Tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31983\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-5.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-5-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 5.

Interestingly, the major parts functioned normally, and there were no repair notices for these parts in the &#8216;Parts &amp; Service History.&#8217; However, a new notification prompted us to configure the enclosure, and the system required rear camera recalibration&nbsp;again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31984\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-6.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-6-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 6.

This suggests that once parts are replaced, the system may permanently record their history. However, further verification is needed, and REWA Lab will continue to explore this behavior in future tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: Face ID and Other Swap Parts in iPhone 16 Pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our tests reveal that iPhone 16 Pro, with iOS 18\u2019s Repair Assistant, allows for greater flexibility when swapping parts, particularly with Face ID, which can now be replaced without losing functionality. The &#8216;Parts &amp; Service&#8217; feature ensures accurate tracking of swapped components, and we will continue to explore how third-party parts interact with this system in future tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-7-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31985\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/figure-7.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 7.
