How to Determine if Your iPhone’s Replaced Parts Are Genuine After Service? Starting with iOS 15.2, Apple has integrated a feature that lets users inspect their iPhone’s parts and its service record, helping determine if the components changed are authentic Apple parts.
To view this data, simply navigate to Settings, click on General, and then Info. If any component has been substituted, you’ll find detailed insights in the “Component and Service Record” section.
For the iPhone XR,
Regarding the iPhone 11, you can verify if the display or battery has undergone replacement.
For the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and iPhone 14 series, you can scrutinize if changes have been made to the rear system, TrueDepth camera, battery, display, or main cameras.
How to Confirm Authentic Parts?
If Apple’s genuine parts and procedures were employed during the service, you’ll notice a “Certified Apple Component” label next to the said component. If the iPhone has connected to the internet post-service, clicking on the component will reveal more details, such as the service date.
Understanding the “Unidentified Component” Label
The label “Unidentified Component” under the “Component and Service Record” suggests either an incomplete installation, the use of a non-authentic component, prior usage of the part, installation on a different iPhone, or the part not functioning correctly.
Notifications for Display and Battery
For both the screen and battery, you might see a notice saying, “Apple has revised the device data for this iPhone” within the “Component and Service Record”. This indicates Apple has refreshed the device data for better support, security analysis, and enhancing future devices.
Alerts Indicating Potential Issues
You might come across alerts like, “Face ID Issue Detected”, “Cellular Data Issue Detected”, “Ultrawide Bandwidth Issue Detected”, or “Apple Pay Issue Detected” in the “Component and Support Record” section.
Additional Information
You’ll only see the component and service history if an iPhone component has been changed or isn’t functioning as expected. In cases where a component has been serviced multiple times, only the latest service appears.
The iPhone’s component and service record is tied to its serial number. If repairs necessitated a new serial number, then only the details associated with the new serial number will be visible.
