Your video helped me a lot today purchasing a second hand phone. Luckily it was almost brand new, and everything checked out. It was an iPhone 14 Pro so esim was a hassle to setup and check to see if my carrier was working. Another thing to add would be to check the sim lock status in the about section. If you're looking for an unlocked phone, or if it works with your carrier.

[@TLOH7]

Did you buy it online? Seems like I can't find a reliable place to buy an Iphone.

[@Sal12538]

@@TLOH7 i bought it off facebook marketplace. Got lucky, checked the imei and everything. Was legit. Thought maybe it was stolen. But Verizon gave me the green light and its been working for the past month issue free.

[@v3_mooooooo582]

If I buy a refurbished iPhone I ordered it to be the highest grade, excellent. It will be a model F or M. The battery will be full of water and the box will remain original or any box and the battery after use. What do you think about it and do you advise me to buy it?

[@PeterEmery]

In this country, refurbished iPhones fall into two categories: several generations old and offered by non-Apple retailers or recent models ONLY available from Apple. And in these cases, they are only used to replace faulty units brought in to Apple stores for service. The Apple Refurbished website NEVER has iPhones for sale.

[@AppleDsign]

Thanks for sharing the information Peter🤝

[@doriancalderon4872]

I just ran a used iphone 13 pro max. Everything about imei was good, but no "country of origin", line on screen, is that unusual? Other phones I ran all had country, do you think that is suspicious?

[@OGTennyson]

Maybe. But if you aren't having issues with it then I guess you're good

[@AcolyteSA]

I don't understand the part about the parts, you weren't very clear. Can you explain that please

[@AppleDsign]

Some iPhone can be put together with parts from different iPhones. It's important that all the part are genuinely the original ones

[@isaacchaleka5817]

If the iPhone has had a part replaced, that's only when you will see that setting/repair history! If it was repaired with a genuine part it will indicate so and if not it will show again NB:You can only see this if you iPhone was opened before for repair!

Is buying refurbished IPhones from Backmarket considered safe!?

[@ShaferHart]

Unless you're getting it from Apple refurbished means used. If it's a reputable seller from ebay you probably won't have issues with iCloud lock but you still need to check all the hardware stuff.

[@richpontone1]

I would only buy from Apple online as if you don’t get a new battery with 100 percent capacity, you are throwing your money away.

[@TerrorSyxke]

1. Get an iPhone 13 for 350 USD 2. Get a Pixel 6 for 135 USD

Depends on your budget. Or if you want to wait for the launch of the iPhone 15 Pro (release in September). Otherwise both 13 and 14 model are great

[@chunchunmaru5128]
