from the discussion of XR deal, i think the authorized repair center has some special tool to clear the history
They don't use an Apple authorized center. So it may contain aftermarket parts. However, yes they clone the hardware identifier for replaced displays and batteries so that it won't show up as a replaced part in service history or elsewhere. Basically, software querying the part gets told it's the same specific identifier as the original part. From seeing previous discussions of it, they would need to physically open it or find a visual difference to distinguish from original parts.

I've bought 5 of these "refurb" phones from TW before (iPhone SE) and Apple took 3 of them as trade ins. The other two had aftermarket displays and they wouldn't take. I traded those into Best Buy for credit. Would do again.
How did you know they were aftermarket displays? Just from when you attempted to trade them in?

Varies. I bought like 7 XRs and about 6 of them were in decent condition. No scratches. 1 had a screen that didn't sit flush. I traded them all into various places so I didn't use them. From what I've read, it's a crapshoot in terms of the parts and batteries being replaced in them. I would be hesitant to buy this to use as a main phone for any long period of time. For a kid, it should be okay since they won't know any better.

Warranty on them were somewhere between 2-3 months to 10 months out. But be warn that even with warranty still on them, Apple will not service them if unofficial parts were used in the refurbishing.

Good point. People who are concerned may also may want to note that TW specifically states these phones do not include a warranty (since they were refurbed by a non-Apple company). However, warranty service may very well still work as long as it's not on an aftermarket part and no sign that the refurb caused the problem. There has been a case of a user in a previous thread getting a phone that looked like new and a software check program showed no replaced parts, but when he ran into a screen issue later, he was denied warranty service even though the phone still showed it as valid for a couple more months. Since it's a third-party refurbisher, they're not going to contact Apple to officially void the warranty, so phones will all still show valid warranty on the info screen unless it's over a year old. They also don't change the serial numbers to reflect refurb status, like Apple refurbs would.

That said, I got several phones from them and all looked like new and had screen protectors, etc. one even had a screen protector that looked like an OEM one, although in my case, I kind of suspected that one had an aftermarket screen, so I ended up keeping a different one as my main one. Note that they seem to use different batches of screens when they're replaced and a few have reported ones that look inferior, but most report that even ones with replaced screens look great and most probably won't even be able to tell. I'd say it's good to check the phone you get and be happy if it works fine without having unrealistic expectations of what you're getting for $100. As I recall, most everyone has reported getting phones that looked new or great condition, showing 100% battery life and no telltale signs of replaced parts due to the cloned identifiers.
