Turning off “Ready for Repair or Trade In” on repaired iPhone

took my wife’s iPhone 15 in for a rear screen replacement. they replaced the screen and everything is fine but it still shows as “Read for repair or trade in” on the Find My screen. Does this go away on its own or did the technician forget to disable this mode?

Everything seems to work fine except this and she can’t sign out of iCloud(which i’m sure is part of this mode).

any help is appreciated, i’m hoping i don’t have to go back there again.

Mine said the same thing for weeks, I ended up disabling “stolen protection” and disabling and re-enabling “find my iPhone.” I then went back and re-enabled stolen protection mode and it got rid of the message in “find my” that said “ready for repair or trade in.” Hope this helps!

The technician will tell you that the notice will go away in a few days.

If it is not gone by the end of the week, you will have to make the trip back to the shop.

The Apple engineer on my side told me that this is to make a mark for this device, and confirm that it is an official repair, just to make a mark, which does not affect the use, and it is determined that this mark will appear after iOS17.5.1

ok thank you, the technician did t mention anything about it so we weren’t sure but suspected as much that it’ll go away. she got the receipt showing the repair was completed when we picked the phone up (about 2 hours ago) so we will wait and if worse comes to worse call Apple or pay the store another visit.
