Why am I receiving an "Important Message" or "Unknown Part" alert from Apple on my iPhone?
Don’t be alarmed – this is a common issue that can affect certain pre-owned iPhones. Continue reading to learn more about these notifications.
They show up after maintenance has been performed on your device to provide details about the substituted part: battery, display, or camera, specific to your iPhone model (refer to the list below). Only an Apple Genius Bar or an Apple Authorized Service Provider has the capability to switch out a part in the newest iPhones without triggering this notification. However, this notification does not imply that there is any problem with your battery or that it is faulty. It simply indicates that a new battery (or camera or screen) has been installed, which functions as effectively as the original one. Your device’s functionality remains unaffected by these notifications.
The impact is limited to the newest iPhones, including the XR, XS, XS Max, and all models released after them.
