Just got myself a 2nd hand iphone 14 256gb deal in carousell.
Cheaper RM400 than current market price (marketplace/carousell/compasia) Condition looks good, only micro scratches. battery health 85%. Got free 3pcs of original casing. The reason that guy selling is because he want to pre-order ip17 tonight. |

be very careful if u buy used iphones, there are many things to check if the iphone is legit or not below are the list of things that can happen when u buy a used iphone 1) screen crack before, changed with OEM screen, face id and true tone wont work 2) back glass crack before, changed with OEM back glass 3) telco set 4) US set with no sim card slot, only esim, a mod is performed to add a sim card slot into the US set iphone, it involves cutting into the body of the iphone 5) battery changed with non original battery its not easy to find a used iphone that dont have any of the problems listed above |

QUOTE(nelson969 @ Sep 11 2025, 10:24 AM) iphone 15 above , always check battery health, iphone will show part that is non-genuine or genuine one by Settings > General > About and look for the Parts and Service History section if your iphone never service before then it is all genuine and wont show part and service history which good news QUOTE(Baconateer @ Sep 11 2025, 10:28 AM) Just check mine, don't have the parts and service history also. How come? You guys punya phone have? |
