When buying someone's used iPhone, we want to make sure the screen is original. At first you need to use smart cleaningand than to heck the screen. In fact, according to some statistics, about a third of iPhone owners break their phone screens every year. That's a huge number, and if you decide to buy a used device, you're only increasing the chances of getting an iPhone with a non-genuine screen.
Luckily, there are several ways to check if your iPhone screen is original. Let's examine them below.
By the way, if you just bought a "new" iPhone from a dubious website, you can use the same method. Or you recently changed your screen to a 3rd party repair shop. Because the price is cheap and the screen is questionable.
How to check if an iPhone screen is genuine
Warn iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 if the screen is not original
If you have an iPhone 11 or iPhone 12, things are a little easier. These iPhone models will automatically warn you when the screen is detected to be fake. The message is: "Important screen message: Unable to determine if this iPhone has a genuine Apple display."
Luckily, this notification doesn't prevent or restrict you from using your iPhone. But it raises questions in the user's mind.
Enable Maximum Brightness
One way to check if your iPhone screen is real is to set it to maximum brightness and then open a black screen. You can also zoom in on the image and see that the entire screen is now black. If the screen doesn't seem to turn on at all, it's true his OLED screen is. On the other hand, if you notice a slight gray or white color, your screen is not genuine.
Remember that OLED screens can produce pure black pixels and have a higher pixel density than other types of screens. Apple uses its OLED screens on most iPhone models, but some devices still use LCD screens, such as the iPhone 11 IPS LCD.
Shine a flashlight or flashlight on the screen
Another way to check if your iPhone screen is original is to shine a flashlight or flashlight on your phone's screen. Next, look closely at the reflection of light on the screen. The original iPhone screen does not have grid lines. Visible grid lines, on the other hand, pass through non-original displays.
