If you had the back glass on your phone replaced by Apple (or an Apple Authorized Service Provider,) then they used original Apple parts. If not, then it's pretty much a guarantee that they use non-Apple parts.


If, instead, you are purchasing the iPhone used from some third-party, have them provide you with the Apple repair information to prove it was performed by Apple. Otherwise, suspect it was done by a third-party, and it would no longer be covered by any Apple warranties.
