An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Apple Part is the
thing that find on original iPad, iPhone and iPod. New Apple Parts are not
accessible to any buyers, merchant or repair shop. Apple Inc. does not offer
its parts to wholesalers, sellers or to repair shop. Apple does not really make
any parts, they have certain makers create them to Apple's visual, specialized,
and quality necessities. The best way to get a real Apple OEM part is by
pulling it off of an iPad, iPhone, or iPod. Be careful with repair
organizations that claim "just they know" where to get fresh out of
the plastic new OEM parts.
Every single other part available that are accessible are
"Aftermarket parts". Aftermarket parts are made by third-party
manufacturers that have positively no connection with Apple, Inc. There are
incalculable quantities of third-party manufacturing that deliver new parts for
Apple gadgets. Among these endless manufacturers, there is a wide range in the
nature of the parts that they are creating.
The vast majority of these manufacturers cut expenses by
delivering parts that might be like OEM in appearance, yet could never meet the
specialized and quality prerequisites that Apple requests from its own
particular makers. This is the manner by which most outsider makers can offer
such a minimal effort to wholesalers and other repair shops.
Notwithstanding, there are a modest bunch of third-party
manufacturers that regardless of the higher cost, create superb parts that
would no doubt meet the same visual, specialized, and quality prerequisites
that Apple requires from their own manufacturers. In the event that put one
next to the other, try not to have the capacity to differentiate between an
astounding secondary selling part and an OEM part.
The easiest way to tell the
difference between an aftermarket or OEM screen
is the presence of third party stamps or stickers. If there are third
party stamps or stickers, this will identify the screen as aftermarket.
1. OEM screens will have foam pads over the flex cables while
aftermarket screens will either have no pads or poorly placed pads.
2. OEM screens will typically have an Apple Logo on one or both
flex cables while aftermarket screens typically don't have a logo or the Apple
logo is colored over with a sharpie marker.
3. The adhesive for the proximity sensor's plastic holder is
generally stronger than the aftermarket adhesive, therefore that piece
typically falls off on aftermarket screens.
4. OEM screens use a rectangular white film under the ambient
light sensor while aftermarket screens typically do not.
5. The adhesive for the front camera's plastic holder is generally
stronger than the aftermarket adhesive, therefore that piece typically falls
off on aftermarket screens. Also, the black OEM screens will typically have a
blue ring of reflective coating where the front camera sits to reduce haze;
aftermarket screens typically won't include the haze protection.
6. The glue/solder attaching the backlight to the LCD is typically
somewhat clean on OEM screens. You will find on aftermarket screens that there
tends to be messy glue spots on the backlight connection.
7. Most aftermarket screens will have a blacked out serial number,
if not their own serial number printed.
8. OEM screens will have a matte black sticker placed in the top
left corner while aftermarket screens will have a glossy sticker or no sticker.
OEM screens have an oleo phobic
coating over the front glass. This means that a drop of water will bead up and
stay as a bead when moved around the screen. Aftermarket screens do not include
that coating so the water tends to leave a trail.
