We do OnePlus repairs with the official service parts in Switzerland - but parts are rather expensive and the repairs lengthy, especially for the 7 Pro series. The market for glass-only repairs on OnePlus phones is too small, I bet you’ll have a hard time finding someone. Would not advise to use copy parts as they are often much less durable and have higher failure rates for these phones. I would suggest you send it to the OnePlus Service Center if you don’t find someone who does the official full-body replacement in your area. Their pricing is very honest.

Now I’m pretty sure the shiny apple logo “part” there is really just a shield. Below you should find more components. Looking at the filtered X-Rays (and overlapping them) I would expect to find more&larger caps, a 12-pin, and a 25-pin package at least.

See the processed images.

A single Pod will cost about 90 USD to replace with Apple. So yes, repair couldn't be easier if you just go and buy a new Pod at the Genius Bar. But it's going to be pricy.

Most likely no compass. An accelerometer suits their needs better for what would it help the Pods to know they face true north? Would be interesting to know whether they relied on ARM architecture (SW based) or whether what we're seeing here is a truly unique/customized low power chip (HW based). Especially in terms of adding and maintaining functionality.

Yes. It's a similar part to the ones you find in their Phones, Pads and even in the Watches.
