Hi Hugh, iTunes 12.10 will never come out for Mac as Apple has discontinued iTunes on MacOS. From MacOS 10.15 and onwards iPhones talks to MacOS through the Finder application. I imagine you may have plugged the iPhone into Mac hardware that doesn't have the latest MacOS 11.1 installed.

[@HughJeffreys]

I am not allowed to install the latest version of MacOS, apparently my 12 core Xeon processors, 64GB of RAM and GTX 980 don't meet the system requirements but a laptop with a core i5, 4gb of RAM and an integrated GPU oh yeah thats fine.... Funny that as soon as the new Mac Pro came out mine was suddenly "obsolete". I cannot even hack the OS to upgrade as my current graphics card has no drivers, Nvidia states "Apple fully controls drivers for Mac OS. But if Apple allows, our engineers are ready... [to] deliver great drivers..." - September 2018 They think they can get me to buy a new computer, yeah right. My next computer will be a Windows PC.

 That might be about to change though seeing as Nvidia just bought Arm Holdings.
 I think it stemmed from a line of Nvidia chips being faulty in MacBooks and Nvidia refusing to pay for the replacements / fix. Intergrated Intel or AMD graphics cards / eGPUs should be compatible. Yea its quite disappointing they only provide 7 years software support from the date of release. I could understand not officially supporting it forever but keeping your Apple products from working together sounds allot like planned/forced obsolescence.

This wouldn't be a problem if Apple worked more closely with third party repair firms in the first place.

[@TheJuankGames]

How does Apple get away with the "genuine" parts statement when it's a lie

[@HearMeLearn]

it checks for a specific ID attached to the part, so if you change parts, even if they're genuine, if it doesn't have the exact same ID as the original one, it'll say it's not genuine. When you change those parts officially, they change the ID that the phone looks for, to match the new part.

[@TheJuankGames]

@Sinus Lebastian that's what I meant, how's it it legal that they do that, saying that genuine parts aren't and all that...

[@HearMeLearn]

@@TheJuankGames a lack of regulation. Lobbyists keep our government from passing useful legislations that would help consumers, unlike Europe. That's why I'm more hopeful some kind of right to repair law is passed in multiple European countries, forcing Apple to make their phones more repairable, and that trickles down to our phones here in the US so they don't have things different for different countries. Or maybe if legislation is passed in Europe, that'll encourage someone in Congress to propose a law here

[@hilal_younus]

Well , It’s the same reason Facebook still exists , our government sucks at regulating because they’re a bunch of boomers ....

[@PurushNahiMahaPurush]

Because the regulators and lawmakers are either bought out or are a bunch of completely out of touch old senile fucks. Maybe in EU, where politicians have some semblance of accountability left, they'll take issue against it. There are going to force phone companies to have the same charging port in their phones.

How long until iPhone display "This iPhone is unsafe" and disable itseft when it get old ?

[@FS--ew3se]

I honestly think it is possible ngl

[@MrSuperVids]

That would be so evil... I remember Samsung basically did that with the Galaxy Note 7, but only because it was recalled and banned on flights due to the severe "battery catching fire" issues - they had eventually sent out an update that first limited the battery to 60%. Later on, I believe they sent an update that blocked charging - essentially disabling itself and being left to die. So, it is theoretically possible for any manufacturer to disable phones, but I don't think they would be able to without either running into legal issues, or having severe backlash. Unless it was recalled due to a serious issue, like the Galaxy Note 7.

[@XLessThanZ]

Apple is ingenious at this for a long time by now. I wouldn't be surprised if they've already paired anything that talks to the motherboard. Once that's done, they can activate checking for paired components at will through software (like the OS) and take any kind of action they feel appropriate. One update could disable camera. Next update could also disable battery. And so on and so on. That would be my guess. The beauty of a system like this (for Apples sake) is if laws are passed that force Apple to not do this, they could easily reverse any restrictions enabled by disabling all restrictions with one software update. Again, just a guess.

[@KeenVanguard]

I live in the US, and work retail for one of the major mobile ISPs. My location does repairs for apple because our technicians must go through a full apple certification and test when a new phone comes out. For what I've observed is that Apple supplies our technicians with a calibration software ( a MacBook Air with only that software installed) to calibrate the phones after they are serviced. 98% of the phones they repair walk away with fully functional repaired devices with no issues. The other 2% is phones that fail the calibration and we order the customer a free replacement. Yes your swap is from two brand new phones but I think the phone needs it's software to understand that it was done properly.

@Mohamad Nizam M.Romainor yeah they over charhe.. i work for a repair centre in the netherlands.. i can just say it sucks so bad when you do a ‘warranty’ repair and then find out everything happened bc they send it to a not certified repair shop.. it is hard to regulate the warranty and apple at least in the netherlands they are quite easy with their warranty..

Instead of pairing parts serial number to phones, it would have been great if the original parts could be verified somehow, using a system menu or something and just provide the user to verify it using some menu/settings maybe, instead of preventing the phone/camera/touch id etc. from working altogether, and having crazy notifications on every boot. I would actually love the ability to verify the parts I'm getting is genuine, because I had some experience with 'authorised' service centres using fake parts, which gave me problems just a week after the repair.

[@jarboer]

It’s definitely a good step forward allowing non genuine cameras (or genuine) to work correctly but with a message saying it’s not genuine. I like that they give messages for parts that have been replaced and aren’t paired by Apple, as it means if I were to buy a used iPhone I can be sure that I’m getting key original parts. The battery health might not ever show up as Apple can’t ensure that the battery health is up to standard on a 3rd party battery. The same could be said with the display but the fact that you can reprogram the screen and get True Tone shows that’s not the case (True Tone is after all only a software filter that is adjusted by sensors). I still want to see all tech companies have genuine parts available so that 3rd party repairs are possible and say with the tools and guides being available as well. I also find it ironic that Samsung with the A series made part swaps (the finger print sensor) not work via a software update yet Apple did the opposite and now allowed the cameras to work correctly when swapped.

[@jbfcrasher9173]

Apparently the unable to verify camera message can pop up even with the original camera the phone came with. I work at a third party repair shop and I actually had a customer come in today with an iPhone 12 Pro wanting to replace his screen protector because his broke but the drop that broke his protector also seems to have damaged his rear camera because it started giving the "Important Camera Message" warning in his settings. When we opened the camera app pressing the button to change the zoom levels also didn't work at all, it was just stuck on the 1x zoom. The phone had never been opened up or worked on before and is running the current ios 14.4. This is the first time we've seen something like that here so it may be a one off fluke, but at least in some specific circumstances it can give the message with a phone's original camera.

Big Apple fan boy but disappointed 😞 but they do have a point some 3rd parties repairs do crap repairs and stuff goes bad so that's y apple probably wants there product fixed by them but it would be good if apple made the prices cheaper for repair and people would off repaired it by apple

[@PvtAnonymous]

then why not supply parts to 3rd party repair? Especially when Apple themselves barely fix logic boards, but instead drill holes into them and throw them away. And especially for stuff like tristar/hydra, which is a minor soldering job compared to swapping the whole phone. This is only caused by Apple‘s retarded view of „unholy parts“, where they genuinely believe, that repairing certain parts of the device maked it unclean.

The restriction makes sense. Selling 2 phones at once is a really rare case. When it happens it usually means the phone was stolen or something like that.

Because you can't use the phone. Can you not read? They disable the camera if you change it, no matter if then camera is genuine or not. Trash company that shills to governments worldwide. Bootlicking company.

We should really file a suit against that "Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine camera" message; what apple is really saying is "you have messed with the phone swapping components so we disable those modules" EVEN IF THEY ARE GENUINE BRAND NEW ONES; so that warning is in a fact A LIE as this video proves
