However, the Parts and Service section in Settings will expose the actual history of the phone’s components. The section will see “Unknown part” added to it.that customers and law enforcement agencies had requested Activation Lock for iPhone parts.

This adds an extra layer of security in case a thief has glanced at your passcode.
