Okay, that sounds more reasonable, though that process sounds a fair bit like what they are currently doing, just adding an iCloud unlock ability. I saw some complaints about a required $8000 tool, and I cannot tell from this article if the System Configuration Software tool replaces that or is part of that? Is that not part of the cost problem, or did I read those comments wrong? (or am I mixing up articles? Sorry, everything is apparently blurring together for me!) I haven’t taken apart an iPhone since the iPhone 4, and everything sounds much harder now (though a little less so than a couple of years ago, it sounds like!)Not even lock each part, just serial match them to the phone they were built with. And if that phone hasn’t been iCloud unlocked, then the parts would be rejected by any other phone until the donor was unlocked.
