Apple has added a new repair tool to that allow users to configure new parts in their iPhone after it's fixed. According to MacRumours report, iOS 18 brings a "Repair Assistant" feature to configure replacement parts after a repair.
The feature ensures that the iPhone is functional and working properly if it’s been repaired with an Apple part. Do note that the Apple iOS 18’s Repair Assistant feature works with genuine Apple components only.
How the Repair Assistant feature works
Once a user has installed iOS18 and if they have a part that is able to be configured, it will show up under Parts and Service in the About section of the Settings app. However, users who have not had a repair will not see this section.
The Repair Assistance feature can also be used to configure parts that were installed prior to iOS 18's release. Even users who have had a third-party battery replacement that used an Apple battery, for example, can configure it as a genuine Apple component.
If a user has a replacement display, it can be configured with the Repair Assistant to make sure that True Tone, auto brightness options, and other features are accessible.
