💡 *iPhone Parts Locked to Owner Summary*
Introduction of Activation Lock for iPhone Parts
The iOS 18 RC update introduces a new Activation Lock feature for iPhone parts. Apple had announced this feature back in April, stating that while they would relax repair policies, they would also extend Activation Lock to iPhone components to combat theft. This update applies to parts like batteries, cameras, and displays, linking them to the original owner’s Apple ID.

Impact on Replacement Parts
If your iPhone has replacement parts from a device that is Activation Locked or in Lost Mode, updating to iOS 18 RC or the official iOS 18 will lock your phone. It will only function if the Apple ID and password of the original owner are provided, creating complications for users unaware of their device’s repair history.

Recommendation and Downgrade Solution
For those unsure about the origin of their iPhone’s parts, it’s advised not to update to iOS 18. If you’ve already updated, downgrading to iOS 17 is an option, though this may cause data loss. The script details how to downgrade using IPSW files through iTunes or Finder, and also recommends ReiBoot as an alternative tool for managing the downgrade process.
