Understand what things should be looked at before buying a second hand iPhone.

Let us understand these points in a little more detail.

Before buying an iPhone, look carefully for scratches, dents or any other kind of damage. The phone screen should not be broken or chipped from anywhere. Also, check whether the side buttons of the iPhone are working properly or not. Ask the seller about the battery health of the iPhone. We can also check it ourselves by going to the phone settings and searching for battery health. According to experts, battery health of 80% or more is considered good. One should not buy a second-hand iPhone if the battery health is less than 80%. The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number is a unique number of every phone. This reveals the software and warranty of the phone. Also, the IMEI number can also be used to find out whether the phone is stolen or not. To know the IMEI number, dial *#06# on the dial pad of any phone. The number will appear on the phone screen. Check yourself whether the headphone jack or charging port of the phone is correct or not. Sometimes the phone may stop working due to water getting into it. Do ask the seller about the phone owner's history. If possible, cross-check the information given by the seller about the previous owner. Also, do take the original receipt of the phone.

By checking these things, you can be fairly assured that the second-hand iPhone you are buying is genuine, in good condition and is safe to buy.

answer- Apple designs iPhones according to the updated technology that comes in about 5-6 years, so that customers can use the product for a long time. This is the reason why iPhones have more updated features than other smartphones. In such a situation, keep some things in mind before buying a second hand or refurbished iPhone.

Question: How can we find out if any internal part of the iPhone has been replaced or not?

answer- Nowadays, there are many such pages on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook that sell two to three year old iPhones by calling them demo phones or unused phones, but in reality it is not so. Most of the iPhone parts found on social media are tampered with. Changes are made when things like screen, body, camera or battery are damaged.

iPhone has an option where you can check if any part of the phone has been replaced or not by going inside a specific setting of the phone. You can easily check the device parts and service history of the phone.

For this, follow these steps-

step 1: If the model number of the iPhone starts with M, then it is an original device, which has been purchased from an Apple store or a retailer. If the model number starts with F, then it has been refurbished and has been used by a user before. Whereas the model number starting with N means that it is a replacement device for some other phone.

Step 2: If you have bought an iPhone, you can also check it by visiting the 3uTools app or its website. 3Utools gives a complete detailed report of the phone. Such as-

Whether the phone is under warranty or not Whether the phone is an Indian model or not Whether any parts have been changed in it or not

Step 3: After the serial number, you can also view the parts and service history on your iPhone.

For this, go to the 'Settings' of the iPhone. Go to the 'General' option and click on 'About'. Click on 'Serial Number'. Note down the serial number of your iPhone. After this, check the serial number on Apple's official Website. If it is labeled as an Unknown Part, it means that the part has been replaced.
