Sure, but having the screen stop working because of an unforeseen coincidence is very different from intentionally breaking the screen with malicious intention.

Sure, but having the screen stop working because of an unforeseen coincidence is very different from intentionally breaking the screen with malicious intention. Besides, has there been a single documented case in the history of smartphones where a device manufacturer changed the communication protocol with a display via OTA update after the phone shipped?
- nudgeee 3y agoI can think of a myriad of things such as enabling a feature that was previously disabled/in development, updates to calibration values/curves, tweaking timing and power saving control registers, etc. Any of these could throw off a third party part if not implemented exactly the same way.
- Dah00n 3y agoSure, but we also know for a fact that Apple does a lot of tweaking to disable non-genuine parts. Seems as likely.
- kaba0 3y agoSurely Apple maliciously went after some tiny third party that sells 3 screens per year. Occam’s razor..
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoApple, that rules their supply chain with an Iron fist and prosecute owners of independant repair shops? Why would they ever have a plan to make sure only their screen works with their phone?
