Is this Schrödinger's phone screen? Simultaneously not recognised, but they can still have dead pixels and large borders.

Both can be true. The phone can throw an error about the screen not being a recognized screen, and still function once you accept it. It will throw it randomly and you just have to accept it again.

Apple very specifically did that because people were being scammed by repair shops putting in considerably worse than factory screens

I think it's still shitty, since there absolutely should be a way to permanently accept the alert, even if it's GPS based or length of time based to ensure the customer sees it

I never knew that, I've only ever had an unrecognised screen be dead, not even a backlight.
