Everyone is crazy about Apple iPhone, but there are some who are unable to buy it because of its expensive price. In such a situation, there are many people who want to save money by buying a second hand iPhone. This can be done, but with great precautions. So, if you are also planning to buy a good second hand iPhone, then it is important to take special care of some things. First of all, know that Apple does not sell officially refurbished products in India.
Broken:- If the iPhone you are thinking of buying is a few years old, then it may be broken. Especially if it was not well maintained by the previous owner. Request the seller to share photos of the device from all angles, including close-up shots if possible. With this you can see things like scratches, dents and decide whether to buy it or not.
proof of purchase:- Ask the cell to send you the original receipt or a digital copy. The receipt is necessary because it verifies the name of the seller. This step helps you determine whether the seller was the original owner and whether the iPhone is still covered under warranty. If the seller is unable to provide the receipt, you will have to consider whether to buy the old iPhone or not.
IMEI number- Get the IMEI number from the seller and verify whether the device specifications match the official receipt or not. You can find the IMEI number on your iPhone by going to Settings > General > About.
Part: While verifying the old iPhone, make sure to find out whether the seller has got the iPhone repaired in the past, whether it was done at an Apple Authorized Center or a Locker Center. If the repair has been done at a local place then it is possible that the internal parts may have been tampered with.
