Does anybody know yet if Face ID paired to the logic board?

Does anybody know yet if the Face ID sensor (basically the whole front camera assembly) is paired to the logic board? Wondering how that will affect repairs in the future, since the front camera does need to be replaced occasionally.

We already know Touch ID can never be repaired with 3rd party parts, and the iPhone 7 and 8 can't have the "button" replaced at all. I will not be surprised if the front camera doesn't work at all if replaced.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

So, the front camera will work, but with no Face ID.

For Face ID to work, it needs both original flexes (or some soldering) then?

Tried this myself with a few X's, the front camera basically is your Face ID. When repairing or changing screens make sure to swap out the front camera sensor also or it wont work.

Sorry, misread the question. I'll order a new front camera and see if that works. This is interesting..

What if the previous owner did the repair and now I get errors how do I combat that

@Amaan hussain Sadly there isn’t much you can do without the original part. The only option besides living with it is taking it to Apple.

Yes, just like the Touch ID system on iPhones 5s-8+ and now the SE 2nd gen, the Face ID is paired to each board, if it gets broken, the only way to replace it and get Face ID is to go to an Apple store, if not, the Face ID and front camera will be rendered useless.

I am facing the same problem, front camera works but Apple store told me that the censor the face ID is broken and needs more than $500 to repair. I was wondering if any 3rd party shop can fix this.
