Buying refurbished phones or finding used phones can save some cash, but these devices may come with trade-offs. If you’re considering buying a used iPhone, here are nine things you need to check before buying, along with some suggestions for where to find a bargain.
Are Refurbished iPhones Good and Reliable?
You may have some concerns about buying a used or refurbished iPhone. It's reasonable to wonder whether a used iPhone is as good and reliable as a new model. The answer is: it depends on where you're buying the iPhone. If you're buying from an established, reputable, and well-trained source-think Apple and phone companies-you can assume that a refurbished iPhone is a good iPhone. Be more skeptical of less reputable sellers.
Get the Right Phone for Your Phone Company
Every iPhone model starting with the iPhone 5 works on all phone company networks. However, it's important to know that AT&T's network uses an extra LTE signal that the others don't, which can mean faster service in some places. If you buy an iPhone that was designed for Verizon and take it to AT&T, you may not be able to access that extra LTE signal. Ask the seller for the iPhone's model number (it will be something like A1633 or A1688) and check to make sure it's compatible with your phone company.
Make Sure the Used iPhone Isn't Stolen
Confirm the Phone Isn't Carrier Locked
Even if you have the right iPhone model, it's a good idea to call your phone company before you buy to confirm it can activate the phone. To do this, find the phone's IMEI or MEID number by following the above steps or asking the seller. Then call your carrier, explain the situation, and give the carrier the phone's IMEI or MEID number. The company should be able to tell you whether the phone is compatible.
Check the Used iPhone's Battery
Since it isn't practical to replace the iPhone's battery, be sure that any used iPhone you buy has a strong battery. A lightly used iPhone should have decent battery life, but anything more than a year old should be checked. Check the health of the battery on phones running iOS 12 and up using the Battery Health feature:
Tap the Settings app.
Tap Battery.
Tap Battery Health.
The percentage displayed in the Maximum Capacity section tells you good the battery is. A perfect, brand-new battery on a brand-new phone would have 100% capacity, so the closer you are to that, the better.
Apple installs new batteries in their iPhones for a reasonable price, so if you can't get reliable information on the condition of the battery, go to Apple.com for a price on replacing the battery before you buy.
Check for Other Hardware Damage
Every iPhone has normal wear and tear such as dings or scratches on the sides and back of the phone. However, major scratches on the screen, problems with the Touch ID, Face ID, or 3D Touch sensor, scratches on the camera lens, or other hardware damage can be big problems. Ask to inspect the phone in person if possible.
Check the iPhone's moisture sensor to see if the phone has ever gotten wet. Test the camera, buttons, and other hardware. If inspecting the phone isn't possible, buy a reputable, established seller who stands behind their products.
Choose the Right Storage Capacity
While the allure of a low price is strong, remember that used iPhones usually aren’t the latest models and often have less storage space than current models. The current top-of-the-line iPhones offer up to 512 GB of storage for your music, photos, apps, and other data. Some models available for low prices have as little as 16 GB. That's a huge difference. Size isn't as important as it used to be, particularly for people who use iCloud for photos and music, but you shouldn't get anything smaller than 64 GB (and the more, the better).
