Broken glass, Apple refuses to replace

The glass of my iphone was broken. Ik had it repaired by an unofficial dealer. Now my face ID doesn't work anymore. Apple refuses to replace the unofficial glass. Is that normal?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16

Read my post again. What breaks Face ID is an installation problem, and yes, a careless installation can fail later, not necessarily initially. But even if the Face ID failure is not related to the screen replacement, Apple won’t fix it because someone other than a certified Apple technician did not do the repair.

Well, you actually do have an option. Apple has a self-repair plan now where you the user or a qualified third party repair shop can rent the proper tools and buy authentic Apple parts to repair your phone.
