According to what I've read online, it would be hard to justify the effort needed just to restore TrueTone on recent iOS versions.
I just got my iPhone 12 back from the repair store after a screen replacement, and they told me they couldn't restore TrueTone because Apple already changed the screen about a year ago. Since they can just patch the new screen info into the phone, they didn't bother using the original serial number.
It seems like since iOS 15.5 you can't read the original screen info from the phone with stock iOS. JCID says you need one of their J-BOX to unlock the phone and backup the data to their cloud, which then could be restored to the screen.
I'm just trying to determine what tools I need to buy and if it makes sense money wise for such a small feature. I'm on iOS 16 now, so should I just live with the annoying alert and move on?
