    It’s a step in the right direction. Serial linking parts that disable features if a used or recycled part is used is still kind of shitty though.

      That is called calibration, and if your using parts form an iCloud locked devices apple servers will not provide diagnostic mode the calibration profile as you are likly using stolen parts.

      Wha apple should do is document the protools that would let you load your own claibraiotn profile if you purchase third party parts (that come with profiles)… but such parts would cost as much as OEM parts from apple as factories that produce parts and bother to create calbiraiotn profiles do no too this for cheap.

        So what, the iCloud locked device now just goes straight to landfill? I’d understand stolen devices but devices where people have forgotten their passwords or devices where the person has sold it on unknowingly.

        You’re naive to think that every iCloud locked device is stolen. Apple genuine parts should work, calibration or not, even so,Why don’t they just release the calibration tools… it’s all for profit
