I don't know either specifically, but the sequence is "device repaired worked just fine"/"stopped working after update"/"worked again after fix". This should imply that the (temporarily) affecting update was narrowly targeted to "original" and that the "fix" had "widened" recognition of hardware. The point is that the "narrowing" (which possibly happened by accident) is somehow technically possible and thus can in theory replicated intentionally, at Apple's whim.

  I don't see the difference. 1) It worked just fine. 2) Update: it doesn't work anymore. 3) Update: it now works again. Maybe the specifications (known only to Apple) changed, or they made use of some features in the specifications that were previously unused, that anyway (since working order was restored) don't seem like being of an "essential" nature.
