Face unlock stopped working, or the top of your screen won’t respond to calls? A worn-out infrared flex cable is often the culprit, and this replacement brings that part back to life.
What You’re Getting
This is a single infrared FPC flex cable built specifically for the iPhone XS. It arrives tested and in good working order, so you aren’t swapping one doubtful part for another. The cable is meant to fit the phone’s original layout and work straight away once it’s seated.
Why This Part Works
The infrared section handles the sensors that sit near the earpiece, so it affects face recognition and the proximity detection that turns the screen off during calls. Replacing the flex means those features can run properly again, without buying a whole new handset. Each cable is checked before dispatch to confirm it matches the XS model.
Installation Notes
Take your time here, because the flex is delicate. Test the phone’s sensors after the swap, before you reassemble the front panel. Wear an ESD strap to protect the board from static, and never bend the cable past 90 degrees when routing it. Professional installation is strongly recommended, and the supplier accepts no responsibility for damage caused during fitting.
