Hello to everyone ?
How am i supposed to know if my iPhone XS Max has a Genuine OLED screen? And how to know if you got a "fake OLED" screen? Because i bought this as 2nd hand. I really have no idea if my OLED screen is Original or Fake, is there a way out to find out?

-Thank you so much!

Display a 100% black image, if you see light coming out of the screen then it’s not OLED.

3uTools can tell if any part of the phone is not original. Download it and see.

All OLED panels shift blue.

Only way to determine if you have an OEM Apple display is to open it up and look for logos on the flex connectors.

Just check the phones serial number on Apples website.

This is not accurate. A ‘Phone’ serial number indicates the phone unit device itself, not the display part number. You would actually need the actual part number off the display to confirm if it’s an OEM Apple OLED display.
