Apple authorised service stores may soon start receiving the Face ID components and the front camera modules.

Technicians will be able to replace the Face ID system on the iPhones rather than replacing it.

The Face ID tech was first introduced on iPhone X back in 2017.

[{"selector":"#anim-09516bf5-ecd0-4f53-8119-52075aee47e2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-19ba0da7-a9d3-42a1-8529-3a86edb7566c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.29965%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":400,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a3c22ad3-f746-4d4d-9c0b-97a2654cd8e7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.15624990386074%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

But, the iPhone X may not get this newly reported Face ID replacement facility.

As per report, the Face ID replacement will be available on iPhone XS and newer iPhones.
