> Apple claimed that Huseby was allegedly importing “counterfeit” iPhone screens. Huseby denied this, saying that he simply used refurbished iPhone screens that he never advertised to the public as “genuine” parts from Apple.
I'm no fan of Apple's crackdown on repairers in general, but this sure sounds like he had third-party screens that he called "refurbished iPhone screens," which sounds pretty misleading to me. If someone told me something was a "refurbished iPhone screen," my assumption would be that it was originally a genuine Apple part, and it doesn't sound like that's what he was using.
Just leaving out the word "genuine" doesn't make it not-misleading.
