Honestly I wish they would serial lock every single part of the phone possible. And then unlock them when you detach your apple account from it. Put up a message that says "This display is owned by another apple account" and refuse to function until it's removed or you contact the owner to have it unlinked.

Unless Apple is dealing with thefts at the factories before they make it in to a phone.

Technically they could do this already, it could just cause some bad publicity when people who got their phone 3rd party repaired wake up with a message that their screen is stolen.

Do it for new part swaps only. And make it clear in the message that you can use the part, you just have to unlink it from the owning account.
