iPhone users won't lose True Tone, other features after third-party repairs

Apple will extend software support to third-party replacement batteries and displays in iPhones, ensuring that True Tone and battery health data won't be deactivated for users with these repairs.

Users can activate True Tone with third-party parts, but Apple warns that colors may not be accurate or performance may not be optimal, suggesting users can disable it if needed.

Apple will display health metrics for third-party replacement batteries, but may not be able to verify them due to issues like second-hand batteries with manipulated metrics being sold as new.

Apple, historically known for restricting third-party repairs, is gradually becoming more open by allowing genuine used parts for repairs, starting with the iPhone 15.
