Genuine parts would only fail if they were installed without rekeying Touch ID. It didn't matter that the parts were genuine Apple parts or not. It mattered that Touch ID and the secure enclave were no longer paired after the hardware keys no longer matched between the 2.

- Karunamon 9y ago“Bricking the phone” was a bug and was fixed. Disabling Touch ID is necessary to support the security of the phone. I don’t want a state actor installing a crocked module and use it to break the phone’s security.
- cptskippy 9y ago> "Bricking the phone” was a bug and was fixed. It wasn't a bug according to Apple. First they said it was deliberate then after the story blew up they said it was a test feature never intended to leave the factory. They never said it was a bug, the behavior was intentional. > Disabling Touch ID is necessary to support the security of the phone. I don’t want a state actor installing a crocked module and use it to break the phone’s security. No one is disputing that, why do you keep bringing it up? Are you trying to downplay the fact that they are intentionally screwing over people who don't get repairs through them? Why does swapping the Touch ID module necessitate disabling the home button as well as Touch ID in the iPhone 7?
