There is no doubt about the position of the iPhone in the world of smartphones. It is very popular with different classes of users all over the world. There are even cases of buying an iPhone while saving a kidney.

Because buying a brand new phone of Apple’s new model requires a fairly large budget.

Due to this, old iPhones are widely bought and sold in different parts of the world, including Bangladesh.

This is of course a very good way to save money. However, if you look carefully and carefully, you can use the old iPhone for a long time by buying it. Then you can sell it at a very good price after using it.

Many people want to buy it because of the extraordinary performance, camera, display, etc. of the iPhone. However, it is important to be aware of some things when buying an old iPhone. Details about them are mentioned below.

Buy from the original owner of the iPhone

If you are taking the initiative to buy a smartphone from someone, then definitely find out the original owner of it. Many times, fraudsters try to sell various types of stolen smartphones. In this case, you can easily get into legal trouble later.

For this, take the iPhone in hand and find the IME number from the settings option. It is usually 15 digits. Then enter the CTIS Stolen Phone Checker site and verify it with the IME number. If the phone has been stolen, you will see a red notice there. And if it has not been stolen, you will see a green notice.

iPhone Activation Lock:

All of Apple’s love affairs are quite popular for security. If a phone is lost, its owner can block the mobile with the Apple ID. In this way, the phone cannot be opened in any way without an activation account.

Before buying an old iPhone, check whether Find My iPhone or iCloud is locked. If it is locked, then you must unlock it from the seller. Otherwise, you may get into trouble with the lock after buying.

Check the battery health before buying an old iPhone:

One of the most important parts of a smartphone is the battery. You can check the battery health by going to the iPhone settings. If the battery health of a used smartphone is 100%, then assume that it has been boosted or replaced.

For better performance and backup, it is necessary to buy such a phone with at least 90 to 95 percent battery health.

Other awareness while buying an old iPhone

• Due to any kind of injury or problem, many times the phones may not support SIM. So input your SIM and check if it can be used to talk and if the network is getting it properly.

• Many times when buying an old iPhone, there may be minor scratches or marks. Although these are common, it is necessary to see if there is any major injury. So check the physical buttons of the phone, check the touch, check the parts like the 3D sensor, camera lens, water-resistant system, etc.

• Since you can add additional storage to it, check how many GB variants you are buying. Currently, storage variants ranging from 16 GB to 512 GB are available in the market. Considering the current era, it is better not to buy a mobile with less than 64 GB of storage.

• The iPhone 16 series has now come to the market. If you are thinking of buying an iPhone 6 or 7 in this era, it will be a wrong decision.

So, find out which operating system or version of the device you are buying. Otherwise, you will not be able to use the updated software and features after buying.

Currently, there are many showrooms in Jamuna FutureFuture Park Bashundhara Shopping Complex that sell such used and refurbished devices. They also provide 1 to 2 years of warranty service. You can also get it from there if you wish.

Now let’s talk about the price. We buy old or used things only when our budget is low.

If you have bought an old device with a very high budget, it will not be value for money for you. So before buying, check the price carefully according to its performance.

My Last Line

Hopefully, you will consider the factors that come into play when buying an old iPhone and purchase the device. Thanks All.
