Not sure if the technology in the iPhone 7 has it, but there are now messages that indicate if the battery, display, and camera aren't original. They will nag the user that there's something that isn't original. And sometimes it could be a part that is OEM but somehow it lost contact or it was replaced with a salvaged part from another iPhone. Only Apple equipment can reset these messages.

If you have access to an Apple Store, I'm sure they can run a diagnostic that indicates whether or not all the parts are OEM. There might be some things it might be able to tell, like if a glass/digitizer-only repair was done to the front-screen assembly, but usually there are ways to tell by looking for little details.
