That’s why they require that you activate parts as well. Motherboard, screen and face id sensors are useless. The battery isn’t worth much, compared to newer Chinese knockoffs

The screen is still usable no? It just disables true tone IIRC.
A day's wage in Colombia is about $10-15 and people tend to preference and pay more for original parts since the cost of the device is too high to risk. An iPhone X costs close to a month's salary. They even tend to avoid third party cables or chargers as a consequence.
