Upgraded to iOS 15.2.1 and checked for Parts and Service History under Settings > General > About. As there was no Parts and Service History, the battery is not a replacement. Any battery replacement, whether genuine Apple or third-party, would show up in the history.
For XRs (unlike 12s or 13s), screen replacements will not show up in the history. A visual examination of my XR doesn't show any obvious evidence of screen replacement.
Posted by another user, FYI: For those who are wondering if you want to do a return, Yes you do have to pay return shipping if it was delivered to you. If you refuse the package you will not have to pay return shipping. For returning, USPS(Postal Service) First Class with tracking or Priority mail recommended but UPS and Fedex should work as well. (ALWAYS make sure you get tracking on your package or it can complicate your return and or cause a return to "have no evidence of arriving")

Trade-in Options (From asianman35, Post 1156):
1. trade in to best buy for $190 gift card
2. trade in to apple for $200 gift card
3. trade in to gamestop for $210 credit or $168 cash
4. use to trade in with your carrier (sprint seems to be a great deal right now)
5. activate and hope that it unlocks after 60 days? some people are saying this wont happen since these have been activated on totalwireless already (hence theyre refurbs).

Well as per the new policy after take over from Verizon in November,Tracphone has updated its unlocking policy for apple devices to be 60 days post activation if activated after Nov 23rd-2021
That said,I have reached to multiple customer care rep and have even called and the fact that it gets unlocked after 60 days is something they all echoed but there was difference on if it active service or just first month of activation.There is no proven way until Jan 23rd to see when this first set of deals got launched to see how it goes.
The unlocking policy does mention it will automatically unlock after 60 days - But if some one or most of the folks trading in should not have a problem .If you plan to keep this phone for a longer run and use it I would activate the service for the second month to avoid any hassle in pushing Customer rep to unlock .As i did call out we will have to wait to see how it actually works.Its an additional $20-$22 to get some total wireless prepadi cards on sale or deals.
In the worst case if this not does not get honored we can still encash for trade in or other options to sell this for cash.
Any one with still having doubts on the unlock policy can contact customer care for their satisfaction before they jump in - however as i mentioned its more of waiting game as I did realize it was not consistent reply.

"Customers are eligible for this program only once every twelve months"
I know TF/TW previously had same phrase in the old policy and it looks like cut & paste, but if they enforce it some phones may not be able to get unlocked at 60 days.
But I can't imagine them limiting someone who bought three phones for their family from getting two of them them unlocked because the same person purchased them.

It made sense before with bundles and 12 month unlock requirement, that's why I have doubts about new policy. Too much seems to be just copied instead of being rewritten. Can you tell I don't really trust TF/TW?
So I can purchase this one, only pay for the one month of service and then never again?
I only need the device, I already have an iPhone which I hate using with my system because then I can't "use" the phone while is with the DAC/Audio System.
I was already planning on buying a used iPad/iPhone on eBay used but this is way cheaper.
Thank you!!
Those Android phone with USB-C, such as A01, A11, is great for connecting DAC. The only thing you need on software side is using UAPP to bypass Android sampling restriction. You can also get 512GB sdcard for local music files, vs this 64GB iPhone.
but all of those are hard to judge unless you have another one for comparison and heck, maybe the other 2 are aftermarket and this one is real deal lol.

It's entirely possible the gap is due to the repairman's workmanship, rather than the part is sized incorrectly.
1. Try to return back to them, if they don't accept it, then file CC charges back.
2. Trade in to BB to get whatever the phones that you like or save it for later if there is a better deal.
3. Use it as is.
Obviously TW won't replace you with a device with OEM parts even though you have all the proof that they used not so good parts to refurbish the phone.
Also Apple won't replaced it as many here had experience it.
For me, I had traded in 2 to BB for iphone 13 then flipped them for profit. Need to fip 1 more then I will able to get myself an iphone 13 for less than $200.
But I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually do away with these cheap refurbished phones down the road. That's more like a Tracfone legacy thing and I don't think VZ has anything like that with Verizon Prepaid...it's just way too good.
