'"They have a memory chip that sits on the screen that's programmed to only allow the Pencil functionality to work if the screen is connected to the original logic board," Panesar told Forbes.'

Yeah I can see why Apple is very particular about who they let repair their devices officially when dudes say dumb shit like that. Absolutely none of that is true. Serialized parts, oh absolutely, but a whole chip just to fuck up your drawing, that’s nonsense.

How is this guy in tech repair? YouTube instructionals?
