What You Need To See When Buying Used iPhones

We might have said this once but we'll say it again, people just can't get enough of Apple devices and their cell phone solutions. If money is an issue, anyone can always go for a used phone. The term second-hand may not even hold true or even be applicable anymore, because no matter how many users have gone before us, we'll take the phone provided it's in a good working condition. 

Typically, you would prefer an unlocked phone or else you would have to go through the hassles of how to unlock a phone. More than anything else, there are other things you would need to figure out before you purchase that used iPhone.

1iPhone Battery

Since Apple created built-in cell phone batteries, you would have to make sure you check details from your seller before making any decision. Ask them it's possible to have a new battery, if the phone has been in use for more than 24 months, especially if the previous user is a heavy user. 500 full cycles can reduce the battery capacity by 20%. Remember to also check any return policies if the battery turns out as otherwise.

2 Inspect the Hardware 

It's typical for an iPhone to have a scratch here and there. However, there is some hardware damage that is beyond normal wear and tear that you would need to look out for. Check the phone's condition in person. 

You would want to make sure it's also free from water damage. There are sensors on your iPhone, usually on the headset jack or charger port for older models. iPhone 5 and above have theirs on the SIM card slot. If the phone has been wet, the indicator will change to a red/pinkish color. Make sure you check this, because you wouldn't appreciate how much a water damaged phone repair costs.

3 Storage Capacity

The iPhone 7 can give you up to 256GB of storage space. But for some financial reasons, you can only come up with a fraction of what 7 would sell for, which also means, you'd be getting a fraction of its storage capacity. Try to scour for gadgets that have at least 32GB. You wouldn't want to limit yourself because your phone has limited space. Then again, with the Apple mobile solutions, Calgary users can still work with 32GB worth of memory space and below.

4 Features Vs Price

If you're buying a used iPhone, make sure that you are aware what you are spending on. Typically, you would be getting a generation or two behind, which means that you may not get those features other users boast of and brag. But if you are eager to get a hold of your own iPhone, we still believe that sporting an iPhone 4/4S is still edgy versus some Androids, that is. (Oops, sorry but no sorry.)

5 Score a Warranty

There are some sellers who would give out warranty, typically extended ones, even on used iPhones. While you can send in your devices for iPhone repair anytime, Calgary buyers still prefer having a peace of mind not to incur additional costs soon after a used phone purchase.

Cell phone repair solutions repair and replace broken and crushed screens of iPhone, iPad, and tablets and can do cell phone repair for all smart phones.
