Apple strongly recommends that you outsource this work to certified professionals. These craftsmen have been trained to work with Apple products, and they will definitely use original components. Such services are provided both by the manufacturer himself and by authorized service centers or independent centers working with original modules. Already in the case of warranty service, there is definitely no point in refusing the official service.
Genuine spare parts are precisely sized to fit the housing. An inexperienced technician may fail to tighten the screws or covers, resulting in damage to the battery, overheating of the device, or even injury to the owner. The very same iPhone camera is designed taking into account the operating system of the smartphone. A non-original module may simply be incompatible software or work incorrectly, losing performance. Such a problem can manifest itself, for example, after updating iOS and the appearance of new drivers for the camera in the system. When using a non-original module, the following problems may occur:
- the camera will not focus well or the picture will be blurry;
- in Portrait mode, subject may be out of focus or only partially in focus;
- a third-party application working with the camera may freeze or even quit unexpectedly;
