Everyone wants to buy iPhone in India. It’s a status symbol for many people, and it’s hard to argue with its prices. But India is one of the markets where Apple continues to offer its older models, because they come cheap, leading more people to buy them. For example, when the iPhone 13 was launched in the market, the prices of the iPhone 11 series dropped, becoming more attractive. But if you need a better deal on an iPhone, the next best bet is to buy a used iPhone model. Pre-owned iPhones are available on different platforms or even at friends, who can give you great deals. But like with every gadget purchase, there are a few things you should check before buying a used iPhone, and here are some important ones:
Ask for Serial Number to see if the iPhone is Genuine
It is always important to check whether the iPhone you are buying from another person is genuine or not. Ask for the serial number of the iPhone you want to buy. Visit Apple’s Check Coverage website at “https://checkcoverage.apple.com/” and sign in with your Apple ID. You can create an Apple ID even if you don’t have an Apple device. After logging in, enter the serial number to view the valid date of purchase, warranty details and technical support details.
The website will provide all the details if the iPhone is not stolen and if the model is genuine. If you don’t find a description, don’t buy it.
Also, verify that the same serial number is shown inside the Settings menu of the iPhone that you wish to purchase when you are physically examining the iPhone.
Make sure the iPhone is unlocked and no data is stored on the iPhone
Before buying an iPhone, make sure the previous owner has deleted all data from the device. Also, make sure the previous owner disabled FindMy service on the iPhone and did a factory reset properly. You can remove these by going to Settings – General – Reset – Erase All Content and Settings. After that you can start using iPhone with your registered details and Apple ID. Also, make sure the owner of the iPhone removes the device from iCloud.
All iPhone papers are in place
Buying a used iPhone means that the first owner has all the bills, receipts and other details regarding the product they have purchased. Make sure all paperwork comes with the iPhone you bought from that person. In most cases, Apple does not allow a change in device ownership in billing, but you can still make the necessary changes to ensure that Apple recognizes the iPhone as yours.
iPhone has all the in-box accessories
Buyers should also check whether all in-box parts of the iPhone are included with the device. These basically include the iPhone cable, EarPods (wired earphone) and the charging adapter. You can also ask the person if a SIM ejector PIN is also available. But insist on getting the core components. Also, check the status of the charging cable.
status of iphone
Used iPhones mean you have to check the status of the device. You can never be sure how the person held or handled the phone. So, make sure you check if the iPhone has any noticeable dents, scratches that would be difficult to fix or any other damage on the camera lens. Also, make sure that the buttons and display are working properly without any glitches that may cause concern later. All of these issues can result in lower performance of the device, and the last thing you want is a half-working iPhone.
check battery health
Apple is one of the brands that provides its latest software to older models. And people with iOS 11.3 are able to check battery status of iPhone models. If you go to the settings, the battery health indicator tells you the status of the unit. If it shows that “Your battery health has deteriorated significantly,” we suggest that you avoid buying an iPhone. Generally, avoid buying older iPhones whose battery health is less than 88% to 90%.
Once all these checks are passed with flying colors when you are buying an iPhone, rest assured, you have made the right choice.
