How to Recognize Fake Second-Hand iPhone Parts? 

According to a recent report, there's an iOS setting that can spot if parts of a second-hand iPhone were reintegrated by fake ones.  On iOS 15.2 and newer versions, the setting is accessible. All you need to do is to follow these steps: 

1. Go to your Settings App first, then select the General option down below. 
2. Tap the About button after that.

If the previously owned iPhone contains counterfeit parts, the "Unknown Part" notification will appear under the "Parts and Service History" tab in the About section.  It can also let you know whether legitimate components are broken.  [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="2386"] Image credit- How-to-Geek[/caption]
