📌 JCID Face ID Dot Matrix Flex Cable (for iPhone 13 Series)
What It Is
The JCID Face ID Dot Matrix Flex Cable is a specialized repair part used in professional iPhone repair to fix Face ID issues on iPhone 13, 13 mini, and other 13-series models. It’s part of the JCID Face ID repair system and is often called a dot matrix repair FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit).
🛠️ Main Purpose
-
Repair Face ID problems caused by a faulty or damaged dot matrix flex cable inside the TrueDepth camera system.
-
Works as a replacement cable that connects to the iPhone’s dot projector/dot matrix hardware.
-
Supports Face ID data read/write using JCID programmer tools — allowing the original Face ID data to be paired with the new flex cable.
📱 Compatibility
-
Compatible with iPhone 13 models, including:
-
iPhone 13
-
iPhone 13 mini
-
iPhone 13 Pro
-
iPhone 13 Pro Max
(Specific versions exist for each model, though the general tag-on dot matrix flex covers 13 options.)
-
🔧 How It Works
-
Tag-On Repair Method: The JCID dot matrix cable uses a “tag-on” approach — you connect the flex to the Face ID system without removing original optical components.
-
Programming: It requires a JCID programmer (like JCID V1SE, V1S Pro, or V1S Plus) to read the Face ID calibration data from the original hardware and write it onto the new flex.
-
Activation: Once the data is written and bonded, the iPhone can re-enable Face ID functionality.
👉 Without programming the original Face ID data onto the new flex, Face ID will not work. (This is critical in the repair process.)
⚙️ Key Features
✔ Non-destructive repair: No need to remove or dismantle the TrueDepth camera optics.
✔ Data pairing support: Works with JCID tools to read/write dot matrix data for full Face ID restoration.
✔ Latest iOS support: Compatible with recent iOS versions when used with updated JCID programmers.
✔ Low power design: Designed to match original flex power characteristics.

⚠️ Important Notes Before Buying
🔹 Requires JCID Programmer: You must have a JCID V1S/Pro/V1SE (or compatible) tool to program Face ID data.
🔹 Professional Skill Needed: Installation involves delicate microsoldering and data programming skills — not suitable for basic DIY without experience.
🔹 Data Pairing Required: Simply replacing the cable won’t fix Face ID unless the original Face ID calibration is written to the new flex.
🧠 Why This Part Is Used
iPhone Face ID is highly secure and each Face ID hardware assembly has unique calibration data stored in the Secure Enclave of the iPhone’s logic board. If the flex cable or dot projector is damaged and replaced, the calibration data must be transferred — and JCID’s flex cable, along with its programming solution, lets technicians do exactly that.
