iPhone users won’t lose True Tone, other features after third-party repairs

Apple is finally loosening some restrictions on repairs, extending software support to third-party replacement batteries and displays installed into iPhones later this year.

The tech giant said in its latest white paper, Longevity, by Design, that it will extend software support to third-party replacement batteries and displays installed into iPhones later this year. This means that it won’t deactivate True Tone and battery health data for iPhone users who receive those third-party repairs. You won’t suffer that loss anymore as the company “will allow consumers to activate True Tone with third-party parts to the best performance that can be provided” later this year.
