Apple adds code "serialization" solution: unmatched iPad Pro screen does not support Apple Pencil

CTOnews.com, July 28, according to Forbes, if iPad Pro users choose not to change through official authentication channels after their screens are broken, Apple Pencil interaction will no longer be supported.

Apple is adding software restrictions to product parts, which not only makes third-party maintenance more difficult, but also increases user maintenance costs, according to a maintenance expert.

CTOnews.com Note: Apple is adding a "serialization" solution to ensure that parts of the replacement product match.

For example, if a user wants to replace the battery of the iPhone 14, each battery has a unique serial number, and Apple uses special software to synchronize the battery serial number.

Battery health metering will be disabled if third-party batteries are detected, even if they are authentic from Apple.

Ricky Panesar, founder of iCorrect.co.uk and a maintenance expert, said Apple has now extended its "serialization" solution to the fifth and sixth generation of 12.9in iPad Pro, as well as the third and fourth generation of 11-inch iPad.

After Panesa tried to replace the iPad screen with another iPad screen, the Apple Pencil did not respond properly to the output line.

He says they have a memory chip on the screen that is programmed to allow Apple Pencil to work only if the screen is connected to the original logic board. This means that third-party repair shops that use other Apple devices now have to order replacement parts directly from Apple.
