I got a whole new iPhone xs max but in parts and the face id says "face id is not available". I know its because there some sort of authentication of the face id chip so is it possible to fix? and if not how much apple charges for it? do they even fix it? thanks
iPhone XS Max
What does you got a whole new Xs Max, but in parts mean? Is this a replacement phone you got from Apple or did you replace parts on the phone? If you replaced parts, Apple doesn't sell parts, so they wouldn't be authentic Apple parts and if that is the case, there's likely nothing you can do to get Face ID up and running.
Please clarify what you meant.
Sorry, but legit parts may look like Apple parts, but Apple DOES NOT sell parts. Your "legit" parts are most assuredly aftermarket parts and as such you'll likely be unable to get Face ID working. You have a FrankeniPhone now and Apple won't touch it or help you at all. We can't help you either.
I have a relative that has a repair shop so he gets legit parts.
"Legit parts" is irrelevant.
As rbrylawski stated, Apple doesn't sell parts.
Your relative undoubtedly does have a repair shop, but it's not an Authorized Apple Service Center.
face id is not available
