“iPad Rehab Microsoldering & Data Recovery”
We Did The Experiments and the results were NOT what we expected. Check out what we found. What else should we test?

I have been an entrepreneur for the last 15 years repairing electronics. It’s sad to say that Apple is the only brand that monopolizes this industry. I’m literally waiting for a nice alternative to change my phone not to support them.
Looks like the wifi connection is used to ask apple if thee part is bought from them. If not, deny
Anyone else notice that in the TrueDepth camera experiment (#3), Greg's phone was liquid damaged??
Does it work on xr
what about XS battery change?
Hey i have a question my phone Xs had replaced battery from asurion company so when I update to ios 18 and hop to repair battery so that it will be showed battery percentage??
4:44 did you tested if you can first pair a new flood with the original screen and then swapp the screen with the new flood?
Thanks!
I AM SO EXCITED TOO! I must say you inspired me when I 1st got into repairs. Now make videos myself so thank you for helping me improve my skills in our field! Game changer for the shop I work at that has no outside support by Apple in the shadows of their changes. I think Apple ID can make this glitchy, so I don't trust the idea until it gets more patches. I also believe this should be regulated by our government in some way by monopolizing the part network. 😀 SUPER THANKS
State of
Flux by Bloc Party ???
Nice video 🙂
Cheers from Portugal and thank you.
Hopefully this is just a bug in the server and these will work later just like your last video 😊
Does Apple prevent you from pairing a part which was previously paired? Do you need to unpair previously paired parts in order to now pair them to your phone?
Wondering if swapping the true depth camera is looking for the flood illuminator. Being the one from the donor true depth
Great video 😊😊
This is what we call a "Task Failed Successfully." Apple clearly has a lot of bugs to iron out 🙂
People really thought apple would let you repair iPhones there never gunna let you do it never it’s apples way iPhone 3G to iPhone 5c were the only iPhones ever to not have this issue
Thanks for this video – I think you might have to make a part 2 in like a month, cause it's pretty normal that the earliest versions of iOS are buggy in some way, and I would stand to reason that the inconsistency we are seeing from all these experiments, not just yours but everyone from the FB groups, is probably due to just that… and I hope (and pray) (but expectations aren't high of course) that when 18.1 one is released, that some of these issues get resolved.
The sad thing is – this is not a dependable solution yet for repair, and repair shops like myself wouldn't be able to depend on this repair solution.
Side note: Thanks for the laughs! At the next repair expo – you should do a stand up comedy bit, lol. Oh and I appreciate your insight on the IC swaps. I've never done one, and never understood why others did them.
I'd like to suggest a potential hypothetical solution but it would require a software engineer, what you need is a way to FORCE the iPhone to connect to check if it's valid but to redirect it to your own servers that just whitelist everything and report everything is genuine no matter what. Interrupt the process and essentially create a Fake Apple verification server where instead of verifying it just declares everything genuine. Skipping the database check and going STRAIGHT to the step it goes to AFTER it passes the check. This could be done by making it connect through a Proxy but have that proxies dns records configured so trying to connect to Apple's URLS would actually be paired to the IP address of your fake verification server. What you need is a Proxy you control and a DNS server under your control, and to reverse engineer the verification process. You poison the DNS records so that anything that points at a server under apple's control now points to your Fake verification server.
Did you try transferring the true depth camera with the matching screen and flood illuminator. All three parts from the one device?
Nice! iOS 18 is out! How do we install iOS 18 when Settings General Software Update shows "17.6.1, iOS is up to date"?
Me realizing I won't be able to fix my 11 pro max with face id (dot projector) issues that has a soft oled and sitting in a drawer. 😂
Jessa, was your iPhone 12ProMax updated to iOS v18.x.x before turning on lost mode? Maybe both the donor and recipient phones have to be on v18 for the parts lock to function properly. This is Apple's new program in flux … err I mean in f*cks. lol
It’s just a marketing skim..apple wants you to buy parts from them or upgrade your phone!
I’ve done ic swap for screen and programmed mt serial and phone works great no issues. Aftermarket anything will throw message for batteries, screens, cameras and such.
But thanks for the video. Clears up a bit of info we all wondered about
Easy to see this being the end. However, Destruction breeds creation!
stop buying aple shit
At least we are slowly making progress, Is there anything I can do as a Canadian? I know you were saying to file an FTC complaint. but we don't have the FTC here. Who do I complain to?
While I understand why they do it I have to say I hate when parts are paired, basically there is no point in buying 'broken' phones for the purpose of repair
I haven't watched your whole video yet but in hugh jeffreys latest video about this it only paired when the device the part was taken from was signed out of the apple ID. might be worth you looking into this.
Maybe try a newer iPhone? Because it is actually possible that screens from iPhone 12 series doesn’t get serialized, try a phone such as an iPhone 14 Pro with Dynamic Island or even iPhone 13 Pro?
I was able to pair parts from a Chimaera Mode iPhone (it's mine. I was dumb.) and it worked. No errors.
I'm still have issues with a 13PM.
