Yeah, it would be a fantastic thing if it showed a permanent history of parts and their serials in the settings, as well as a date on which the change was noticed, so you have an idea of the history of the phone and what's been replaced. And, of course, not locking you out of features.
With the healthy second-hand market for iPhones, that would be great. Let buyers decide how they feel about previous repairs, offer transparency.
The unhelpful move is requiring a connection to Apple’s servers to calibrate replacement parts.
