This is amazing

As the “new iPhone season” approaches, there will be an influx of phones into the used market; Which makes it the perfect time for anyone thinking of buying a phone.

However, buying a used iPhone is not as simple as buying a new one, unless you are getting it from someone you trust.

Otherwise, here’s a checklist to follow to get a good deal and also to avoid a bad deal.

Verify the serial number

In addition to matching the serial number of the iPhone or IMEI with the invoice and sales box, make sure to check the serial number on the official Apple website.

This will provide all the details about the iPhone, including the activation date and warranty period.

Also, make sure that the serial number on the iPhone matches the information available on the official website.

Complete physical examination

If you’re buying a used iPhone, it’s a good idea to physically inspect the device before finalizing the transaction for any scratches or damage.

And if it is too much, you have another reason to negotiate and get it for a much lower price.

While it’s common to have a few scratches on the screen, the rest of the iPhone should be fine.

Check if the screen is original

The screen and battery are the most serviceable parts of the iPhone, and the best way to determine if the screen has been tampered with is to check the TrueTone feature.

If it’s disabled, it means there’s a problem with the screen, or it has a third-party screen.

Also make sure that Face ID is working, if it fails, there may be a problem with the screen or the Face ID system itself.

Make sure the battery is original

Just like the screen, make sure the phone has an original battery.

While it’s normal for a used iPhone to have low battery health, if it doesn’t show any battery health status, it likely has a non-original battery.

Try to get an iPhone that has around 80% battery health; Because anything less than that will seriously affect the battery life of the device.

Check out the cameras

Most iPhones have at least two cameras on the back, and professional iPhones have three.

Open the Camera app and make sure all camera functions are working as expected Try taking pictures and recording videos to make sure the cameras in your used iPhone are working. (Erm News)
