buying a second hand iPhone
admittedly, this is going to be my first experience regarding secondhand phones
and also with the iPhone.
i’m getting this iphone 4s in 18k
well the market price for second hand 4s is around 22k for the factory unlocked ones according to my research/homework and for the gevey sim ones i heard there are problems with them
what are the things i should check before buying it
how can i check lifetimer, date of manufacture and stuff like that
any tips guys
Just put the serial number on the apple warranty site. You would atleast get to know the month it was manufactured.
Anyways, iPhones are pretty good to buy used. Their longevity is amazing if you use them without causing any physical defects. Just check whether there are any physical defects or damages apparent on the 4s.
Is the 18 k for the whole package or just the handset?
hey thanks @vantheman5211
well the guy says 18k for the whole package i.e.with box and accessories
Good deal then mate.
I would just check for physical dents and stuff. Make sure its clean.
Cheers
You can get a new iPhone 4s for 28k from eBay…
It is very important to check if it is factory unlocked or not. Do not buy Gevey or software unlocked ones. Also if jailbreaking is important and essential to you, check the iOS version as well.
Use this link to get a tentative purchase date (may not be accurate).
