It sounds like they are talking about third parties making such a change, not an official Apple repair. You don't trust hardware that a bad guy got their hands

It sounds like they are talking about third parties making such a change, not an official Apple repair.
You don't trust hardware that a bad guy got their hands on. Picture a black-hat iPhone repair shop, they're installing replacement screens that appear legit but aren't--now they can defeat the face ID and get into your locked phone.
Low probability? What if it's a government doing it? Seem more likely?
- sudosysgen 5y agoA government or black hat could just buy one of the plethora of exploits and hack any iPhone whenever they want for cheaper than setting up chains of repair stores.
