The battery measurement software will never work again with any third party battery replacement. You will never know your actual battery value and the phone may shut off when there is plenty of juice available. Also Apple has software to detect if any part of the phone is replaced and will refuse repairs if any part is replaced. I was told this by the Best Buy authorized repairman as he spent 20 minutes checking my phone and I was told not to leave because they would refuse the repair if my phone had been touched!

- sharpshadow 2y agoThe article refers to original Apple parts, which can be activated as genuine now tru the app and parts from stolen phones get rejected. I would guess that not original parts which could work get refused by the app?
- londons_explore 2y agoI think vanishingly few parts you buy for iphones are clones these days - everything is stripped from dismantled phones. Batteries being perhaps the only exception, and even then, the battery identification chip and flex cable is original apple, just the cell is switched out.
- givinguflac 2y agoThis is no longer true with iOS 18 parts pairing, fortunately. Dunno about Best Buy policies though.
