As far as I know recent iPhones all have parts pairing, so you can’t swap parts between phones unless Apple authorises it. Absolutely sucks ass for repairability, but it’s supposed to help in the context of stolen phones.

I guess thieves found a way to circumvent it, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense
