iPhone 11 will display a warning when a user uses an unverified non-original display

Apple has always liked to use software updates to block unauthorized hardware and software, including users replacing non-original batteries or using non-original chargers. And this measure can actually be seen as the way Apple suppresses small and medium-sized repairers because Apple retail stores and authorized repairers can be verified by Apple’s software.

If you accidentally break the screen of the device, then it is necessary to replace the display, and the official warranty provided by Apple is usually high price, which makes the user discouraged. This is also the reason why there are a large number of small and medium-sized unlicensed repairers on the market. These repairers usually provide users with non-original screens at very low prices. However, Apple also has a way to verify the unverified non-original display through the software. Apple has quietly passed the software update to detect whether the user is using the original screen.

In Apple’s latest iPhone 11 series support document, Apple still stressed that users should go to the Apple retail store or authorized repairer to replace the screen. Similarly, if the user-replaced display is a non-original screen, a warning will be displayed in the system information, warning that the device cannot have a genuine Apple screen.
