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.

So to do the trade in for $235 Visa gc just bring it into Gamestop store and tell then it is a Verizon xr and they can instantly give you a $200 and a $35 vgc?
Also whats the max number of trade ins per person? Thanks
Instead inserted existing tracfone wireless sim.
It automatically converted from total wirless to tracfone.
I called in cuatomer care rep and he said phone was activated as tracfone and will be unlocked automatically after 60 days.
By the way i am tracfone customer for 2years
It is showing on their system as new cuatomer now.

Took 2 XR to a different Game Stop today they allowed me to trade in two at that store (This store said the max trade in is 3)
Got a 235 Visa gift card for each one, paid my insurance bill and xfinity bill as they don't add an extra processing fee for CC transactions. With all the BS and driving around I made about 80 of each phone.
It is unclear if there is a Max Trade in per person or a Max Trade in per day. Each store seems to have a slightly different policy
Ps: btw, just got off the line with them…and they are saying it will be 12 months of active service for the phone to be unlocked, not the 2 months advertised. Wouldn't have even bothered with these purchases, if I'd known that prior.

Many traded them in so may be a few more weeks before you hear anything.
Right now I am using 1 year plan that I got from one of the Slickdeals for $29.99
Which I inserted to the phone and immediately the phone got registered on my account and old phone got deregistered.

You just connect the iphone to wireless and then cancel through all the setup to prep it for trade it but REMOVE the TFW Sim. I did this to two the store did this to the other one as it was in the welcome screen
