It is likely that we have never noticed an almost imperceptible detail on our iPhone: a QR code hidden just beneath the screen. Although it sounds surprising, since 2020 \u2014 including the iPhone 15 \u2014 Apple has been engraving tiny codes on its devices<\/strong>, and the reason behind this decision directly impacts the prices of the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

These codes allow Apple to precisely track the origin of each component<\/strong>. However, what is surprising is that even the iPhone screen has a hidden code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
