The warning is permanent in the Settings app, it just leaves the lock screen and main Settings app page after four and fifteen days, respectively.

iPhone 11 and 11 Pro Will Show Warning if Non-Genuine Apple Display is Used for Repairs

Would you want to buy an iPhone fixed by the seller, without him having proper repair training?
It’s just bored people trying to get a reaction. The internet is full of them. If Apple started a free repair program they would be here complaining LMAO
No, read it again. It reduces functionality when it can't determine if the battery is correct and installed properly. And the only functionality reduced is the battery health feature, which makes sense, if it is not determined to be genuine and installed correctly.
hmm, so you are complaining about someone selling services to consumers spending money and time learning how to repair phones correctly? sorry, I want my repairs done by someone who is willing to make sure it is done right.
No what it says is if it was not installed by an Apple certified person, then they reduce the functionality, period. It does not matter if the battery is a genuine Apple part or not. And the software has no way to determine if it was installed correctly. My guess is the only way to install in incorrectly is the reverse the connector, which is probably near impossible to do and would result in a dead phone if it was possible to do. Some people really soak up the Apple kool-aid.
I'm on Apple's side here. Also; it's like if you change your oil yourself. You will still get a check engine light or oil light until any sensors are reset as well.
"that" would be optional in this instance because using "that" tells you what you are unable to verify and one can easily understand the subject without the "that" so it becomes redundant.
This is great. The price for a used iPhone drops tremendously if the screen and battery aren't Apple originals. And to be honest, if someone did a replacement on an iPhone I'd want to know, because the waterproofing probably doesn't work anymore.
For all the naysayers, there are all kinds of things that can go wrong when you pop open an iPhone, things that are hard to catch...like not being able to connect to BT/WiFi/certain cell bands.
More information is better.

Yup. Apple Store doesn't trade phones with third party displays. This makes that easier to spot.
Ridiculous. Show me the proof where a screen is identified by a part number that the software reads out, and that counterfeit display screens also use the same identification system but with a different number.
And if counterfeit screens also had a part number that can be read out, then why don't they simply pre-program it with the SAME NUMBER as an Apple screen?
It seems you really didn't think about this at all before posting.
It also meanms third party repair shops won't be able to claim they use genuine parts for their repairs.

Actually, in previous releases of iOS Apple accidentally killed the screens that were third-party replacements. That was fixed by an iOS update.
In fact, Apple does keep a manifest of all the serial numbers of parts used to assemble a given iPhone, and it has the ability to check and disable things if it so desires. That's how they can trace back batches.
The only people that would object are those into doing shady iPhone repairs for a living. Might you be one of those people?
I like this. If I were buying a used device I'd want to know if it was a Trigger's Broom of third party components of unknown origin. Moreover, I bet Apple get millions of customers at the genius bars with hardware issues that turn out to be dodgy components fitted by some bloke down the market.
Our US brethren probably won't recognise the phrase trigger's broom...

I know how Apple does it. @Khedron doesn’t know, hence his ridiculous post.
Further, there’s no reason for Apple to tell the user EXACTLY how they know (serial number or otherwise). The fact they tell you it’s not OEM is good enough. Saying Apple is REQUIRED to provide explicit details is asinine. Just looking for another made-up “excuse” to bash Apple with.
Apple would love it if they tried that trick, then they would go from legal 3rd party alternatives to illegal police and border patrol seizable counterfeits.
YOU should think before posting.
Apple's goal is not to service your device at all. Apple and their authorised 3rd party repairers will flat refuse to fix your device out of warranty and recommend you buy a new one. That's why Apple quotes for repairs are always about the cost of a new device when only a new cable or chip is usually needed.
“Apple would love it if they tried that trick, then they would go from legal 3rd party alternatives to legal police and border patrol seizable counterfeits.”
That’s the way this should read.
This is great. Most third-party screens are much much worse spec than the genuine parts. I know because I have changed about 5 screens myself with an array of third-party parts. I never went on to sell any of those phones, but I would certainly like to know if one that I was buying was tainted by bad screens. Most of the time the glue on these screens gives up a few months down the road. They are cheap enough to just replace and replace, though and that will STILL be your choice. It will also still be a choice to purchase a phone that used third-party screens. This is all in the name of providing more information for the buyer. It is not forcing anything, except a fair retail price for inferior product.
Well...everything. The picture at the beginning shows them saying that the battery is not from Apple. That's fine. But it also says that health information is not available for this battery. I'm just wondering if that's because the battery is not talking to iOS, or iOS is not going to listen, because 'it wasn't made by us'?
Also, what does 'the device information has been updated' mean? Updated where?
