No, it will go away by itself.

These notifications don’t affect your ability to use your iPhone or your display.

You will see a notification on your Lock screen for the first 4 days that you use your device and in the Settings app for 15 days. After that period, you can find the notification by going to Settings > General > About.

Hi, you say the non genuine screen warning goes after 15 days. It’s now more than 20 days and it’s still there, it doesn’t help when someone says you shouldn’t have fitted a none genuine screen in the first place. It’s my phone surely I can do this, there wasn’t any warnings before. You (Apple) said yourselves it would go in that time, please help!

To all those saying “you should have”, etc., not everyone has the luxury of going to an Apple store or certified technician during the pandemic.

That’s correct. But it is also correct that those people who don’t have the luxury of going to an Apple store or authorized repair facility will have a phone with an inferior screen that lacks features that only Apple screens have. And the warning is necessary so when you sell your phone the buyer will be fully informed about the history of the phone.

In other words, you want to cheat someone who buys the phone from you by not telling them that the screen has been replaced. That’s the only reason that I can think of to not have the repair history in Settings. Actually, with iOS 15 the repair history will report other repairs made to the phone also, sort of like Car Fax for iPhones.

Why would you pay twice the cost for an out of warrantly phone? It's frustrating that Apple spend money developing features to simply annoy customers.

Because you are getting higher quality for the higher price. If you don’t care about losing Face ID, automatic brightness and True-Tone you are free to get a non-Apple screen for a lower price from an independent repairer of unknown skill. In life you get what you pay for.

Not really. If the phone is out of warranty there's no reason to use OEM materials

Other than the fact that Apple screens are higher quality and implement features that are unavailable in 3rd party replacement parts? Yes, if you want inferior quality, then spend less on replacement parts. That’s a personal choice for just about everything in life.


I’m sure 3rd party manufacturers could make screens that support all of Apple’s features, but then they would cost as much as Apple’s parts. So none of them bother to do so.
