Refurbished iPhone says non Apple part detected

i just got a refurbished iPhone 11 when I activate it it says there may be a non genuine Apple part or a non functioning part or it was not properly installed? I have no idea what that could mean and if I should be concerned and return the phone or just ignore it.

How to be sure of Apple genuine parts - "Unknown part" warning possible to circumvent When purchasing refurbished iPhones, one would like to be sure all the parts are original (or replaced with genuine parts). I'm seeing on YouTube that it's possible to circumvent these non-genuine part warnings by transplanting an 'IC' chip. Just search for "Unknown part warning iPhone" on YouTube and you'll get instruction videos on how to suppress the unknown part warning. How do I know for sure that a 'refurbished' iPhone has genuine Apple parts?

Sounds like it was not ‘refurbished’ by Apple or an authorized refurbished.

Return it and get your money back.

Did you buy this from Apple? A refurbished iPhone from Apple would never come with aftermarket parts installed. I would return the phone for refund.

Where did you get the phone? Was it jailbroken? If you are not sure, return it and get your money back.
