> If you really wanted to do it that much you could just modify the real parts

It seems like the phone would alert for any swapped part, no matter genuine or not. Maybe this is why. Makes sense to me now.

I don’t think that’s why, I’ve never heard of that ever happening

Maybe you don't hear about it because it works and so no one attempts it

By the way long ago I got a screen repaired at an unofficial place, on an old iphone, and camera started working incorrectly (focusing issues etc). I kinda suspect they swapped the camera for a different one, if the phone warned me immediately that would have been cool. I heard many similar stories by the way.
