Understanding Apple's iPhone Parts Encryption and Repair Options

 

A few years ago, Apple began encrypting iPhone parts, meaning that if an iPhone is repaired by an unauthorized repair shop, the phone will display an "unknown part" message, even if genuine parts are used (more details click here). This message typically appears when the screen, battery, or camera has been repaired by a third party.

What Can You Do?

Whether you go with the Apple Store or a trusted repair shop, both are solid options for getting your iPhone properly fixed.
