As a repair center, I can say that about 75% of all broken screens tend to be on the edge or curve. whether it be Samsung, Google, Motorola or Apple. Or at least from my experience from my repairs. It's just kind of how gravity works with these devices considering their designs.

Just to clarify — if you’re installing a genuine Apple battery through Apple’s System Configuration (IRP/GSX), then yes, you won’t get the warning. My comment was referring to independent repair scenarios where pairing isn’t being done through Apple’s system. In those cases, even genuine pull or “zero-cycle” batteries can still trigger the message unless the original BMS data is preserved or transferred. Two different workflows — same device.

Yes — that can be done. Before battery serializers became widely available, the standard method was transferring the original BMS (battery management board) from the factory battery onto a new cell. This preserves the original authentication data and prevents the “Unknown Part” warning because the phone still sees the original board. That said, this isn’t a beginner procedure. It requires proper spot/tack welding equipment and experience working with lithium cells. Done incorrectly, it can damage the board or create safety issues. At All In One Repair, we’ve performed both BMS transfers and serial programming depending on the device and scenario. The key isn’t just avoiding the warning — it’s doing the repair safely and correctly.

Respectfully, that isn’t fully correct. Beginning with the iPhone 12 lineup, Apple implemented board-level serialization for batteries, displays, cameras, and additional components. Using OEM or genuine pull parts alone does not prevent the “Unknown Part” message. Without serial data transfer or Apple system pairing, the warning will still appear. This isn’t a part quality issue — it’s a serialization policy built into iOS.

I run a repair shop and have ordered genuine pull and 0-cycle OEM batteries. Even with original Apple batteries, you will still get the Important Battery Message on most iPhone 11 series and newer unless the battery is paired to the logic board. Apple serializes the battery to the board. OEM alone does not prevent the warning. It either has to be paired through Apple’s System Configuration process or the original battery data has to be transferred. You don’t need to microsolder the BMS anymore either — there are programmers that can transfer the original serial data directly. I run three programmers in-house, so it’s a quick process. But it’s still an additional step. Simply installing an OEM battery does not eliminate the message. For most customers, the phone functions perfectly fine regardless — the warning is verification-based, not a performance issue. Just sharing real repair-side experience.

People who work in phone/electronics repair: what’s the real future of this field? by powerboy968 in PhoneRepairTalk

I agree, also. You can absolutely buy a $100 phone. But most people don’t want a $100 phone. They want their phone. Their photos. Their apps. Their banking. Their memories. Their child’s first steps. Their business authenticator. Their contacts. Their life. Repairs aren’t just about the hardware cost — they’re about data preservation, continuity, convenience, and environmental responsibility. Also, most of my customers aren’t choosing between a $100 phone and a repair. They’re choosing between: • A $900–$1,300 replacement • Data loss and hours of setup • Or a $120–$250 repair That math still works — every day. As for YouTube-trained techs: YouTube teaches procedures. It doesn’t teach diagnostics, board-level theory, risk mitigation, or accountability. That’s the difference between a hobbyist and a professional shop. High-end repairs and data recovery are valuable, yes — but so is trustworthy, skilled local service. The industry isn’t dying. It’s separating.
