I checked the model number on my replacement phone and the number started with the capital letter M. But that doesn't mean that all the parts are Apple parts as an earlier article that Mark supplied indicated. Certainly that seems to be the case with this phone because it really does some Corky little scratchy noise type stuff which none of my phones ever done before. This is still not perfectly clear. I have a replacement phone through the company is called something like ensure on which Verizon uses to ensure the phones that they sell to their customers. They call it a replacement phone. It does not seem like a new phone although looks like a new phone or did at any rate. So a replacement phone is still not going to be a new phone? Is that what this article is saying. I was led to believe that the replacement phones were new but that I guess was quite and erroneous presumption on my part
