Fake parts?

I’m deciding on whether or not to replace the back of my phone through a random (yet reputable) repair service due to the fact that Apple nor my service provider does repairs for the back of the Xr - I’d have to replace the entire phone and that’s not even an option due to the fact that I /have/ to stay on iOS 13.3. Will places like these have actual parts from Apple, or do you guys think I’d more than likely actually receive a very believable fake?

iPhone XR, iOS 12

No. Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. The best they would be able to do would be salvaged parts from damaged phones.


The back of the phone is not replaceable. The internal components are glued to the back.
