Apple's upcoming iOS 18 update introduces a new feature called Repair Assistant, designed to streamline the process of configuring new or used Apple parts.
This feature, often referred to as 'parts pairing,' ensures proper functioning of replaced components, such as screens or batteries.
Repair Assistant can potentially be used to configure even third-party parts, but its impact on repairs using non-genuine Apple components remains unclear.
The new feature will be available on Monday, September 16th, following the release of iOS 18.
