I bought a iPhone 6s here in the uk for £180 (328.92 Australian dollars) a few months ago it did admit it was refurbished but it said like brand new with high quality parts. When it came it had the screen seal and everything but not the Apple box. As I used it the mute switch just stoped working the first time I flicked it even tho the seller said one year warranty a few minutes of ownership the seller does not care “Don’t message me it’s not my problem fix it yourself. It is your fault” then I asked for a refund from eBay that did not work so I asked him “I’m not doing a refund” as I got to know the phone more for a week I notice very bad screen burn in and also the home button would spin also the battery had 52% battery health as not stated in the listing in the listing it stated 100% battery health. Then the cheap quality screen broke when it got hot and just broke. So I just went ham I ordered a refurb screen, new rubber gasket for the home button, a fixit battery, EVEN SCREWS, adhesive (which the seller said like new even though it had not adhesive holding the screen down and a new dock connector because the apparent “high quality part” would break after 2 months of owner ship. Now my phone is good and I love it I think it’s unique but don’t buy untrusted eBay refurbs. Do your research which is did but not well. If I had a second chance I would just bought a iPhone se 2 as I spent that much money on the parts (not counting how many dock connectors I went through)

[@hemanthv2129]

I really love it when 3rd party repairs are done so good as this, as it is really trustable. But the problem is, I have a lot of service centres in my area that do totally unreliable service. Every single one of them use low quality parts, but some of these could be justifiable by their price. The problem is, some of them claim to have really good parts and charge a high price, but the parts used are cheap. I have replaced the battery of my phone 5 times from them, with each one not giving me an SOT even close to my 3 year old OEM battery. And the really sad part is, even OEM authorised service centres here don't use Thermal paste or the water and dust resistant seal. On opening up one phone, I even found some (authorised) service centre use screwdriver (or some sharp tool?) to scrape off the thermal paste. Even the OEM authorised service centre used the B7000 glue to stick the LCD to the frame, even without removing the old glue. This is the reason I've started doing repairs of phones on a small scale, but then again, it is quite difficult to acquire good quality parts here in India, as there are a lot of fake/low quality one. Ordering parts from iFixit, or some reputable international seller would take a lot of time for delivery and would cost a lot more in shipping and other charges. But it is really satisfying to see there are people like you who wouldn't sacrifice on quality no matter what and do true professional 3rd party service. 🙂

[@fatfalcon3434]

It's the same where I live. They wanted to charge me 80 euros to replace the screen on my Iphone SE 2020 (which is ridiculous since the screens they use aren't worth even half). I ended up buying a used original apple display from Aliexpress and a water and dust seal and doing the repair myself.

Glad you are bringing awareness to people with this. 90% of time you buy an older phone (iphone 7 and prior) shown as sealed and brand new it is infact refurbished and resealed. I have a colleague that is an iPhone seller and he tells me there really isn't a brand new iPhone if its iP 7 or older. They are all refurbished. If you buy an phone with a weird sticker at the back or bottom it is refurbished. Easiest way to tell

I've fallen for this scam twice, I bought a 'sealed' 6s in 2019, but a few days later, the battery expanded and pushed the screen off, so they must have used a knockoff battery. I did the same last year with a 'brand new' iPhone 5c for an unboxing video but that turned out to be refurbished too, although it still works to this day. So, not only is this nefarious of these companies to scam people out of hundreds of dollars per sale, but it's also very dangerous as that low-quality replacement battery could have started a fire or something! Stay away from these listings at all costs.

[@austinricker]

9:31 One thing I would like to note that he isn't mentioning here, most repair shops only have access to poor quality adhesive gaskets which provide little to no additional protection against liquid ingress. Typically if an iPhone did not come with an IP rating (such as the iPhone 6s) and we are not able to salvage the old OEM adhesive then we don't bother. Water resistance of a phone takes ALL openings into account such as the headphone jack, the charging port, the sim tray, any holes on the device that would allow for water to enter must be properly sealed for the phone to have water resistance. Not to mention that compared to Android phones that have water resistance, iPhones have more like "splash resistance" due to how weak and thin Apple's adhesive seals are compared to the likes of Samsung or LG. Not biased, just basing off of how thick and wide the adhesive is. With all of this taken into consideration, some techs just leave the seal off. Sometimes they don't have enough time to install it, sometimes the seal they receive is wrecked during shipping, and sometimes the phone is bent or has broken glass on the back that would render the seal useless. A lot is taken into consideration before installing or not installing seals. I wish he would talk to some technicians in these repair shops before badmouthing their practices. There is always a reason behind these decisions. I would be interested to see if Hugh could get access to some OEM seals and aftermarket seals, compare them by sandwiching them between two slabs of acrylic and do a torture test to see what fails first. My bet would be that the aftermarket seals wouldn't last even 1/3 as long as the OEM seals (if they even provide a seal). By seal, I mean no leaks or ingress of water.

[@no1ce]

iFixIt sells pretty solid display adhesives for most iPhones. They aren't OEM, but are pretty high quality. But yeah I would agree that finding Apple OEM anything is extremely difficult if not impossible (in some cases... *cough cough Texas Instruments blacklisting ANYONE from buying certain chips designed for Apple*) I've seen a decent amount of third party repaired iPhones and a lot of them are of poor workmanship and part quality. Missing screw, missing adhesive (likely to increase turn time), damaged connectors, torn flex cables, missing entire parts all together, etc. I'm all for Right to Repair and I'm not trying to badmouth every third party repair shop. But A LOT of them are really shitty. Mall kiosks and the like are horrible and put a bad name out for all other shops and people like Hugh. Also, independent testing shows that the newer iPhones (iPhone X and later, I believe) are actually more resistant than most of the other big phone brand on the market. I think JerryRigEverything did a good video on testing water resistance of phones, but don't quote me. They are more like IP68+, not nearly good enough to meet Ingress Protection 69k but can meet and pass any IP68 test with flying colors (submersion for hours, if not days, with no issues). New iPhones are some of the most resistant mobile devices on the market. To be fair though, most of the big name devices are very solid as well. Samsung I know is very solid and on par with iPhones.

I fell for a similar scam a few years ago. It seems such scammers are found everywhere. Beware!

This is why you buy it from your service provider and not some random stranger on the internet

[@mysterioushoodedguy2332]

Lmao just don’t buy tech from eBay, unless you’re specifically looking for used stuff

I would recommend you T7000, it's a water resistant glue that we use in our mobile repair shop. And for the heat pad, please buy a pair of heat resistant gloves!

That's why you need someone in your family who knows a lot of information on technology. People like you are should be the one to guide and help the family members 💯👏

My elder sisters friend told her that her mom went to buy a new phone, they bought an iPhone X replica without even knowing it. Also that shop refused to refund too. This is really messed up.

@@hardyzme yup

They target Apple users because Android users have brains.

You're wrong about the B-7000 adhesive, unless what you've seen in the past is a knockoff tube. It certainly doesn't leave the residue you showed around the logo insert.

[@trollsymctroll5361]

Well dòne. I hope this fella makes bank repairing items as a business. What a gift.

My iPad mini 2 was refurbished and £94 on eBay in the UK, it seems and works fine to me but had a few scratches on the screen and back. Btw that is what I am commenting on now.

[@robindieker6033]

You can also check iPhone serial number if you get access to it somehow. the first digit is enough: M - New phone F- Refurbished phone N - Replacement phone. This is for devices that the original owner likely got from the Apple store after their original phone had some sort of issue. P - Personalized. These phones were personalized with engraving when they were purchased.

I wish Hugh Jeffery was here in the US (specifically Hawaii) so I can send him electronic devices to repair. It's rare that people with his ingenuity is in the repair business.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Ebay does very little to punish these scammers, so maddening >:(

[@Richard-oc3vt]
