The iPhone® has set the standard for cell phones and at times, can be costly to buy new. Fortunately, there are always affordable pre-owned choices, backed by guarantees, which is the reason numerous individuals purchase a used iPhone. Before you commit, in any case, there are a couple of significant checks to run through to guarantee you're purchasing a solid device. 

5 Checks to Perform Before Purchasing an Used iPhone

Once you do, go to Settings > General > About and ensure it matches the IMEI number listed there to guarantee your device is valid. 

2. Search For Water Damage 

Water damage isn't always visible; be that as it may, an iPhone has a liquid contact tab to show if there has been exposure. These are on the phone or in the charging port. In the event that the tab is red, it implies the used iPhone has gotten wet and ought to be inspected by a professional. 

3. Test All of the Ports & Buttons 

When you start examining the phone, go through all of the ports and buttons. Plug in chargers and earphones and test the volume, close, and home buttons. Additionally, ensure the speakers work. These are basic things, and on the off chance that anything is damaged, the used iPhone may have more performance problems. 

4. Make Sure Your Carrier Will Activate the iPhone

Another important use for the IMEI is with your carrier. When you've confirmed the number is correct, go to your carriers site to ensure you'll be able to activate the used iPhone through them. If not, you'll have to think about another carrier or device. 

5. Inspect the Battery 

To get a comprehensive view on the battery life, open all of the applications, turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on, maximize the brightness, and take pictures. In the event that the battery drains in a short amount of time, it implies it's nearing the end of its life.
