I noticed you are very quick to do quick google searches and match your confirmation bias without having the actual knowledge or experience. I challenge you to go to apple or a authorised 3rd party apple reseller and attempt to purchase any genuine part.

To become a 3rd party apple repairer you basically have to sell your soul and pay protection money to apple, not many around at all. Also the very high price they charge is designed to be economically non viable solution to repair a used device.

Apple products hold value the best out of any electronics, 10 year old phones still sell like hot cakes so any repairer with a booth in a shopping centre or a home repairer has choices
1. get inferiority quality parts on ebay Amazon ali baba etc which are factory seconds or re engineered refurbished Apple parts.

2. buy a icloud locked / maybe stolen phone on ebay, gumtree, junky for a pinapple with a fountain of parts inside.
1.lcd screen
2. charger dock
3. the whole frame including all the buttons + flex cables etc

Anybody who is in the business knows the difference between original Apple parts vs after market. Especially those that are used inside the phone and can't tell physically.

The battery is one exception where a new one from Apple is very much desired, however if you have a phone with 70% capacity and a junky offers you one for $50 with 95% capacity its a no brainer good deal for the battery.

Go on ebay and see how many listings for icloud locked iPhone or ipad there is and how they sell, wonder why they all selling and who is buying?
