These days, iPhone prices have become so high that buying a new phone is not affordable for everyone. As a result, people often opt to buy used phones to fulfill their desire but sometimes end up being deceived.
In the market, it is common for some people to remove genuine iPhone parts and replace them with fake ones, yet sell the phone at the price of an original. After some time, the iPhone often stops working properly.
Today, we are providing you with some essential information that can help you avoid major scams.
According to technology websites, iPhones are designed in such a way that if someone replaces the original battery with a new one, it can be easily identified.
Step 1: Go to Settings and tap on the General option.
Step 2: Click on the first option, “About,” in this section.
Step 3: Scroll down the page.
If you see the “Parts and Service” option on this page, it indicates that some parts of the iPhone you are buying have been altered, but this isn’t definitive.
Step 4: Click on the “Parts and Service” option and go to “Status.”
Here, the iPhone will tell you if the parts are genuine or not. If the replaced parts are from Apple, the status will say “Genuine.” However, if it shows messages like “Important Display Message” or “Important Battery Message,” it means that the parts used are not from Apple.
According to technology websites, using a non-genuine screen for an iPhone can cause issues with features like multi-touch and Face ID. Additionally, a poor-quality display can damage other parts of the phone.
Apple’s Opinion on Part Replacement
Apple advises that whenever iPhone or other Apple gadget parts need to be replaced, only visit approved service centers to ensure the use of genuine parts.
