    That’s a great idea and can be implemented in the security app or a simple menu in your settings.

      Except, how can it tell you how good a part is? Why would I trust what the original manufacturer has to say about it’s competition?

      The system to judge a part is between our ears.

        A warning sign (“this phone has a third party screen”) could be useful, so long as it’s just that, a notification in the settings somewhere. Then it’s up to me to decide whether I care or not. All it does is give me more information, the judgment on it is my own.

        I’d prefer it if it did that for all parts. New third party screen? Notice. New first party screen? Also give notice. Then i know what was repaired or replaced. Even better if it should list when it was replaced, and perhaps the specs of the replacement part.

          I like this. Like a digital equivalent to how a car’s VIN is stamped on a bunch of different parts all over the car so a different buyer can tell if it’s been wrecked and repaired.

        Right. They don’t have to give you an opinion about the quality, just that it’s not an original part. The rest is up to the user
