Modern iOS models lock individual screen, battery, and camera modules to the motherboard using unique digital serial handshakes. If a screen is swapped without running Apple's official system configuration utility, iOS throws an "Unknown Part" warning—even if the replacement screen came from another genuine iPhone.
