Note: Due to Apple's parts pairing restrictions, on iOS 17.6 and earlier, True Tone and auto brightness are disabled after a screen replacement, even when using an original Apple screen. On iOS 18 and newer, you can calibrate your new screen using Apple's Repair Assistant to restore functionality on genuine parts.
