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.

honestly speaking, since a lot confirmed here that the replacement battery is from sunwoda, which is an official Apple battery partner, I am thinking even we do have some replacement parts such as screen and battery inside, we should not be that worried
A legitimate refurbish company with a decent scale, should have some quality control on parts to be qualified to co-operate with TW. It is NOT a one-time game there
those cheap replacement screen sold over ebay or amazon is far inferior, which you can tell with phone powered off that it is like grey when looking at an angle
Did anyone confirm if the second month payment is needed to get the phone unlocked after 60-days? I may have to pay as I have about 8000 points pending. As long as phone unlocks after 60-days, I should be fine.

so I don't think the color dots theory holds any water, just speculation, the sample size is too small.
Who really knows the colors really mean, could be indifferent of quality.
No one knows if second *paid* month is needed yet. The majority of us who bought at the earliest was Late DEC, so 60 days makes end of FEB, we should know in about 2.5 weeks.
I paid for the 2nd month while others did not, so it might just require a valid activation and full 60 days to unlock or require 60 days of paid service... Can't confirm or deny yet.
My renewal is up in 10 days, so will plan to refill.
from their site:
enter iccid：89014103270421602129(check update above)
Enter IMSI code：31041000000000 (enter 0 till the end)
I already unlocked an XR on 15.3 using the code above.
there's no need to downgrade, glad it worked for you but just saying...
you just need to be able to modify the ICCID and IMSI fields.
rsim5.com or www.nyturbo.com has the latest info.
cmd99.com is another one.
If you soft-unlock before the 60 days, it won't affect your permanent unlock, however if you do a restore on your phone that was soft-unlocked and it's not unlocked by TW or the Carrier it will just re-lock again.
If the phone was unlocked by the carrier after 60 days then it should stay unlocked after a restore or reset.
This is because the lock/unlock status is maintained by Apple on their servers based on your imei#.
take a look at the photos.
side by side is the DIM one vs New XR...

If you don't want to screw it up I'd say just be a good boy/girl and activate it and leave the SIM there 60 days. Or you can be the first data point for these specific cases you asked.

Sim is linked to original phone at activation & VZ is now paying attention when it's used in a different phone. It's YMMV if you put activated sim in different phone, never know when they might freeze service.
