There is a tremendous craze for Apple's iPhone among Indian users. So much so that many people save money for years to buy an iPhone. However, most customers cannot buy the Pro models of the iPhone because they are expensive. However, the solution to this is a second-hand iPhone, which is available cheaply. But if you are buying a second-hand iPhone, then some things have to be kept in mind. If you are getting an old iPhone at a reasonable price within your budget, then there is no problem in buying it, but there are some things you have to keep in mind.
Specifically check the battery health
While buying an old iPhone, it is important to check its battery health. Battery health gets affected over time and the phone discharges faster. You can check the battery health by going to the iPhone's battery settings. If the battery health is less than 80 percent, then it is important that you do not buy the iPhone.
Check IMEI Number
Whenever you buy an Apple original device, check its serial number. Similarly, while buying a second-hand device, you can check whether the device is original or not by visiting Apple's official website and entering the serial number or IMEI number. It is very important to check this number.
Check device status
Whatever old iPhone you are buying, check its buttons, camera and Face ID. Often old devices have such problems, which are detected only after purchase. Apart from this, if there are scratches on the body or display, then you can reduce the price even more. Therefore, check the condition of the iPhone properly.
Check if the display or battery has been replaced
Before buying a second-hand device, make sure that its display or battery has not been replaced. If the battery has been replaced, you will not see the battery health level in the settings. Similarly, the True Tone feature will not work properly in third-party displays. So you can check if the phone is defective or not.
Accessories or not
Earlier iPhones used to come with earphones and charging adapter. So if you are buying an old iPhone model, check if it comes with accessories or not. You can ask for original accessories, this will save you the cost of buying new accessories.
