There are lots of rumors about the new features on next iPhone models. No matter surface style or inside performance, which will be very excited to waiting for its release. However, new changes on new coming iPhone may also bring threat to iPhone repair business.
What Threat it will bring?
As the report said, the next iPhone will not have a home button and will instead be made of a single piece of glass, a long-rumored and seemingly inconsequential move that is in fact central to an ongoing and hugely important legislative struggle between America's largest company and thousands of independent smartphone repair shops. Apple's secret iPhone calibration machine and its Touch ID sensor will allow it to monopolize the repair industry. Moving the Touch ID fingerprint-reading sensor from the home button into the screen itself will have the side effect of giving Apple a straightforward path to
monopolizing screen repair. The move could give Apple unprecedented

over
the
ownership
and
repairability of your phone, which means that in the very near future, it's possible that the only company that will be able to do a simple iPhone screen replacement will be Apple itself. If there is a cryptographic element to fixing the glass, then for most of repairmen or technician, the ability to do repairs on the new iPhone device could completely go away. Then touch ID integration will be an existential threat to independent repair companies, and if Apple suddenly becomes the only company that is able to fix your phone if you break it, then do you really own it? What advantage it will bring?
