What do you mean “original”?

If you mean made by Apple, then it is original if it is recognized by Apple for activation, and if it can run iOS.

You can check the device serial number on Apple’s site: checkcoverage.apple.com, and see if it still has warranty and/​or AppleCare+.

For servicing parts (screen, battery, etc), see: iPhone parts and service history - Apple Support. Unofficial servicing may list “Unknown Part” on the device itself.
