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.

I just got one today.
They added a few things including "If you have not met the required minimum period of active TracFone service, TracFone may unlock your device, but you will incur a charge of up to $300, depending on how long your service was active prior to the unlocking request."
but at least it says phones will be "automatically" unlocked when eligible, so means 60 days as long as we keep service should be good!

Only real question is if requirement is 60 days of consecutive service or not.

I plan on keeping 60 days of consecutive service on 3 of my lines, I will be at 30 days tomorrow, already bought 1 refill card and it shows 1 card in reserve, I guess it will automatically burn it once my 30 day service expires.
I see that there's a checker at the bottom of the unlock policy page, I tried mine and obviously wasn't eligible right now, will try again at 60 days.
I did add the 2nd line and it added 7000points (signed up for rewards prior). But people said the points can only be used at 60 days.
if I had known I would have waited till after the 30 days on my first line to activate the second line that way I can use points to pay for the 2nd month of service on the next phone.
oh well I will add the 3rd line tomorrow once I hit 30 days, so I can renew it using points on that one at least.

"Member must activate a new line and add it to their Account within 30 days of activation."
Edit: Actually, that may just mean that you have 30 days to link the new line to your account after that second line is activated (in case you don't link it immediately). So that may work after all. Let us know if it still gives the extra 7000 points that way.

"Member must activate a new line and add it to their Account within 30 days of activation. For points to become available to use, new line must remain active for 60 days after adding it to account."
The way I'm reading this is for every new line that is activated it must be added to the account "within 30 days". Not within 30 days of the "initial" main account.
Correct me if I am mistaken, if possible staggering activation will allow me to use points for the 2nd and 3rd phones rather than pay $25 for each for the 2nd month of service to qualify for "unlocking".

But good luck as they are now officially out of stock, keep an eye out for a restock.

Either way it is looking good that it LIKELY will get unlocked.
No one posted their personal account whether they got theirs unlocked on here as of yet.
I make 60 at the end of Feb so you guys will definitely hear from me when that happens.
