Sounds good, but how do you stop an unscrupulous repair shop from clearing the warning before the end user can see it?

If it is persistent but buried in settings, most people won’t notice.

Maybe the warning could require Apple sign-in to dismiss, but can be hidden at startup? Then make it an industry standard to present the phone when it is powered off.

EDIT: Yes, I know that this is still shitty for most customers.
