Apple has reportedly updated the repair process for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which could make it easier to troubleshoot issues with Face ID, the company’s biometric smartphone unlock mechanism, and selfie camera. According to a report, while the process of repairing these phones usually involves replacing the smartphone, Apple Authorized Service Centers and Apple Stores can solve these problems by repairing the same device. The changes reportedly only apply to Apple’s high-end Pro models, which launched last September.

This should result in less e-waste as part of the repair process.
According to the report, Apple already supports same-device repairs for the iPhone XS and newer models, with the exception of the iPhone 14 series, which debuted last year.
