With the release of iOS 18, Apple has made significant updates to the alert messages displayed after iPhone battery replacement. These changes affect not only users but also repair technicians.
Alert Messages Before iOS 18: Before iOS 18, Apple encrypted the batteries of iPhone XS and later models. After battery replacement, users would receive “Important Battery Message” and “Service” warnings, indicating that the battery was not genuine. To solve this issue, previous articles（https://blog.recoresolutions.com/index.php/how-to-remove-the-non-genuine-battery-warning-from-iphone-xs-to-13/） provided a method to replace the new battery’s Battery Management System (BMS) board with the original one to eliminate the warning.
Alert Messages After iOS 18 Update:
After the iOS 18 update, Apple has adjusted the alert messages displayed after battery replacement:
If it’s an original part, the system will indicate “Genuine.”
If it’s a regular part (whether original or imitation), the system will indicate “Unknown.”
If it’s a replaceable diagnosable battery, the system will indicate “Used.”
How to Make Replaced Parts Indicate “Genuine”: If you want the system to still indicate “Genuine” after replacing parts, you need to replace the battery cable. Additionally, using a Jingcheng external battery cable is necessary to update the battery data to a health value of 100% and charging cycles of 0. If you only use the original battery cable, the system will only indicate that the battery is original, but the health value and charging cycles will remain the original data.Should you have any needs regarding phone repairs or parts, feel free to contact us at any time.
