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.

but I activated my 3rd Xr outside of the 30 days of the main account so by the time it expires I can use the points to redeem the 2nd month for that one.
and YES, adding a 3rd line gives 7k more points, right now I have 14,520 points. extra points from participating in their promos and such.
I will be getting a 4th one soon and I assume activating it will give me another 7k points!

I suggest you guys go that route than mess around with the att route and potentially get your phone locked to att 😂.
NYTurbo and R-Sim, and other brands, they all do the same thing.
They manipulate the iccid (this is your sim card number), from my all of my tinkering and reading I learned the iphones will accept certain "master" iccids depending on the phone carrier, model, and IOS version.
This is the ICCID number people are referring to on all of these sites, when one no longer works people quickly discover another to take it's place.
IMSI is like a carrier identification on the SIM.
Apparently after IOS version 14.2 certain ICCID/IMSI will trigger the "soft unlock", which removes sim restrictions and lets you use any sim card from any carrier. (this only lasts until you reset the phone.). If you're forced to re-activate the phone Apple's servers will tell it to re-lock.
Before this, cards had to be "piggybacked" like the Black R-sims, that spoof the iccid in order to allow you to use your "non supported" sim. There were many drawbacks to using it in this spoof method. (no wifi calling, short message services, voicemail issues, etc.)
But apparently, after 14.2 the right ICCID and IMSI will trigger the same "soft unlock" as the white cards, so if you have an R-sim you can do the same thing (HY-SD set me straight on this).
If you just want to do a "soft unlock" any white card that can program a ICCID and IMSI will work.
The Black cards offer more features, like being able to piggyback your sim and "spoof" another carrier's sim like I mentioned earlier if "soft unlock" does not work. Though once you've soft-unlocked it's likely golden till you have to reset it, so most people probably won't care or want to tinker with it further.
For those of you who bought the XR's with a $25 plan (and plan to use it) I suggest you activate it and keep it for 60 days whether or not you will need to pay for a 2nd month remains to be seen.
But if I were you I'd activate it with the $25 plan (so phone gets registered on TW) leave it overnight so has some time on their network.
If you need to use it right away on your own network, soft unlock it and swap out the sim. from time to time swap back the TW sim, if the second month is needed, people will post later, but likely if you meet all requirements in 60 days your phone will be unlocked "permanently".
