Apple updates iOS 15.2 with details to check if iPhone parts are genuine

The official version of iOS 15.2 has been released, and Apple also requires eligible users to upgrade as soon as possible. Now the official has also announced some update details in the new system, such as the ability to check whether iPhone repair parts are genuine.

According to the details released by Apple, iOS 15.2 has added a new "Parts and Service History". Simply put, it helps users check whether the replaced parts are genuine.

According to the supporting information, models after iPhone XR (including iPhone SE 2nd generation) can check whether the battery has been replaced, while the three generations of iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 can also check whether the display has been replaced based on the previous ones.

In addition, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series also support checking whether the camera has been replaced. If Apple's genuine parts and tools are used for repairs, the system will display "Apple Genuine Parts". If not, it will display "Unknown Parts" information.

It is worth mentioning that the iOS 15.2 update also lifted restrictions on third-party screen replacements, and iFixit has confirmed that Apple has solved the problem of disabling Face ID on iPhone 13 series models using third-party screens.

In general, Apple introduced the above-mentioned features to change the original after-sales service of the iPhone, while also reducing the chances of users being deceived. When replacing important parts, users can see it clearly at a glance.
