Change iPhone 15 Pro Max back glass with different color of same model

I'm wanting to purchase the Back Glass assembly from the Apple parts site but am wanting to know if swapping the current one (Natural Titanium) for a Blue Titanium assembly will have any software-locked features affected, and if so, what to expect?

I'd be using a serial number from a friend since I know I can't order another color that's not of the same configuration as my own.

I'm assuming that just changing the coils from both assemblies will work around any possible issues but I'd like to not have to do that, if possible.

I've seen an official document from Apple that specifically states there is a software lock on what they refer to as "Phone Rear or Mid System" for your phone. So I would say yes, you will run into issues, but I'm not clear exactly what those will be. Generally most locks generate warnings on your phone and/or limit minor functionality, but I'm fairly sure it won't do anything major like disable your ability to charge wirelessly.

@flannelist Alisha, do you have any further information on what to expect for a rear panel replacement?

You can also check out the iFixit teardown that specifically comments on software locks that were found.

iPhone 15 Teardown Reveals Software Lockdown

They specifically mention that changing the wireless charging coil will result in function loss, as in "Parts Pairing or Calibration Issue," as they put it.

So yeah, if you're really dead set on replacing that rear panel, you should probably assume you'll need to swap over the charging coil in order for everything to work 100% correctly. Of course, you could try it out first and see what happens; if there are issues you should be able to just put the original panel back on to clear them up.

Thank you!

Yeah, I guess I overlooked that bit, honestly. Thanks for responding!

I saw some videos on YT mentioning swapping the coil and such for "best performance", so I'll assume the worst with Apple haha. I'll maybe do it in the future but for $180 I think I might wait a bit.

@jeremyreyes Of course, if you wait a while the aftermarket industry will eventually start putting out parts and you'll be able to get the color of glass you want at a fraction of the price Apple is charging.

@jeremyreyes @dadibrokeit I’m late to the game here, but I would say the iFixit report is probably the best reference here. But as a worst case scenario, it may come down to similar things that I’ve been seeing with iPhone 14 series.

The 14 and 14 Plus back glass has some sensor in the flex cable that causes a the ever popular “3 minute reboot loop” if there is a data mismatch. Hopefully you won’t run into that, but I never trust with Apple.

Thanks for posting, Richard. Can you clarify as to whether you swapped out the wireless charging coil or not?

I want to swap my back glass to another color as well. Ordered a back glass with all the components (flashlight/mic/wireless) preinstalled from Ali for like $13. Will see how it works, anyway I can swap the original back. Also, it’s such a shame that self repair parts from Apple are so expensive, ain’t no way I’m gonna pay $200 for a piece of glass.

Hi Jerry. My mod is done, I replaced the back glass on my iPhone 15 Pro Natural Titanium with the one from Aliexpress in Black Titanium. Everything went smooth, thx to iFixit Suction cup lifter it was a pretty easy job. The back glass had everything preinstalled, only the flash light metal holder was transfered from the OG to the Ali one. I checked the wireless charging, magnets, flashlight etc and everything works without any "not genuine part" errors. Phone looks really cool now, def more appealing and interesting (only sad that the black color is not pitch black, but rather dark grey).

The only pain it was to remove the dust/water sealing (I used glue remover to remove everything until it was clean).

Now to the ones who wants to replace their back glass to a different color/repair with the one they have, you can do this and no genuine part error will occur. ;)

That’s not a problem to change to any colour you want

To avoid error message transfer wireless coil and cable
