In the world of technology, there are many applications referred to as the background of the job. Until now, there are details on the screens we constantly interact with that you may have never seen. One of these details has emerged in Apple’s iPhones. What if we say that Apple saves millions of dollars through the hidden codes it adds to iPhone screens? Here are the details…
Apple is saving millions of dollars through the hidden codes it adds to iPhone screens!
If you have an iPhone and remove its screen, you may come across two codes on the back. However, initially, seeing them can be quite challenging. This is because both of these codes are as small as the trace left by a pastel crayon on paper. Therefore, even following a diet entirely composed of carrots may not make it possible for you to see the codes at first glance.
These codes can be described as the tracking codes used by Apple. This tracking is not focused on users or technical service. At a certain point, companies that supplied screens to Apple took the easy way out. Brands tried to hide from Apple how many of the produced screens were faulty and how many were sound. This situation necessitated Apple’s intervention, and the company started imprinting codes on the back of the produced screens.
By using these codes, Apple started calculating how many screens were sound and how many were faulty, and how much this situation caused damage in mass production. The costs mentioned in the purchase of a large batch of iPhone screens are crucial, as we are talking about a loss that could equate to one-third of a multimillion-dollar deal.
Finally, for enthusiasts, we would like to add a small side note. If you are using an iPhone model produced before 2020, your screen probably has only one code. However, if your phone is manufactured after 2020, there will be 2 codes on the back. But, as mentioned, a special device is needed to see these codes.
