Actually it's IPX and IP8

11 should be same like Xs, they have onboard chips to detect non-genuine/stock battery already. Even swapping in ORI battery from another same model iphone will flag it as non-authentic.


But if you're not bothered with the popup notification, it should still function normally even with the non-authentic flag. There's some China mali solution to copy and flash the serial number of your ORI battery onto new battery to cheat Apple about the battery swap, but this ain't universal for multiple gens and therefore don't expect much repairer having them.


There by for most people, this annoyance and scare tactic are more than enough to deter you from using any 3rd party repair. Is all this hassle really worth the RM100-150 saving on 3rd party battery change?
