Warning after iPhone display replacement - Everything you need to know. i-Fix

The warning after replacing the display on iPhone 11 and later appears when the replacement is made with both a non-genuine and a genuine part. A warning appears in the“Settings” app in the form of “Unable to verify that this iPhone is using an original Apple display“. This is only an informational “error” that has no effect on the functionality of the display or the iPhone as a whole.

Of course, full Face ID functionality is retained after the display is replaced. This is how Apple is addressing display replacements at unauthorised service centres from 2019. You’ll see the message on your home screen for 4 days, after which it disappears. In the settings, the information about an unauthenticated display from Apple will be 11 days longer. Nothing to worry about, it really is just a warning and no features are limited by the replacement.
