To avoid an authenticity alert on an iPhone, you can perform a display IC swap. The IC from the original display is placed onto the new display. If you're wondering which iPhone displays are eligible for an IC swap, we've created a list for you.

Which iPhone displays can we do IC swaps on?

Why is this necessary?

Apple implements part serialization to verify the authenticity of products and protect against counterfeiting. These unique codes (programmed in ICs) are used for traceability throughout the entire production and distribution process. It also helps identify defective parts for warranty purposes. This measure contributes to overall quality control and customer satisfaction. Apple partners can use these codes to verify the authenticity of their Apple products and to see if they may qualify for repair or replacement. This system is an integral part of Apple's commitment to customer safety and brand integrity.

When an iPhone detects a non-original part, it may display a notification warning of potential compatibility or performance issues. While these notifications are intended to enhance the user experience and ensure the device's integrity, they can also serve as a way to promote the use of only genuine Apple parts for repairs.
