Apple might soon offer Face ID repairs without replacing the entire iPhone

If you want to get your iPhone XS (or newer iPhone) repaired because of a Face ID issue in the future, it might not mean your device will get entirely replaced. The company will reportedly give Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers access to a new TrueDepth Camera service part that includes the Face ID and front-camera modules. This will allow them to perform same-unit repairs on your smartphone with Face ID troubles.

As described in an internal memo provided to MacRumors, the move is meant to reduce the carbon footprint of Apple's products by lessening the number of whole-unit repairs. It also means you don't have to set up a new iPhone because of some Face ID trouble, or it could cost less, but the memo didn't mention pricing. It isn't known when this repair process will be offered, but Apple told its technicians they will receive training and documentation at a later date.

Clubhouse gets an in-room chat function

What might be seen as counterintuitive to Clubhouse's original offering is coming to the app. The company is adding a text chat function to the social audio app. As you may have seen in Zoom calls or Discord, those who don't want to speak can write out their opinions. As Engadget pointed out, the feature can come in handy in large rooms or those with celebrity speakers. The audience can chime in through the chat function.

But, of course, moderation is key here. Clubhouse has added some safeguards for creators to keep these rooms safe. Creators can appoint moderators to delete messages and kick out any disruptive user. You can also report messages that violate Clubhouse's user guidelines. Or you can choose not to enable the feature. You can opt out of the in-room chat when creating a room. This written chat log can also be saved when you record your room's audio.
