1 Apple to use codes when phone opened?
Hi
Just been talking to a friend who bought a new iPhone at a local phone shop.
He was asked if he wanted extra Warrenty, which he refused and said that a friend of his (me) can repair them.
The assitant then said something about after July, any iphone which is opened will require an authorisation code (from apple) So only certified people can open the phones?
Does anyone know about this?
Unless there's a sensor inside which detects an opened phone, I can't see how this would work?
Would kind of be handy, filtering out the cowboys from the ones who take pride.
But where would you get certified?
Or, the shop assistance is smoking ?
Thanks

I don't know what you're talking about. It doesn't require magical codes to disassemble a phone.
On a more serious note, You need to be more specific or exactly tell us what you mean by opening a phone.

It's been vague.
By what was explained. The new phones would know they've been opened. And then would require a code which only authorised apple techs would have.
Apparently it's to stop your average jo buying screens on ebay, fitting them, ruining the phone and taking them back to Apple with a broken phone.
If this was true then I'm sure it would be more main stream?
