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 |

Unless you know or trust the seller, ok.
If buy from outside shop, chances are compromised already. |

also u might need to ensure the apple id really log out from the iphone yea, there been few case of unable to login due to previous owner lazy omgelul forget lazy log out, happen to one of my relative , lucky can contact back the owner
also need to do factory reset before u buy , to ensure all clean clean clean and login your very own apple id |

simple, when you start up the phone to test if it prompted out all warnings you get the idea
only apple certified parts and technician dont prompt these (even if the repair person are legit, if theyre not under apple certified list then still kena) |

Unauthorized parts pairing will have warnings under Settings.
Used iPhones mostly needed battery replacement. I bought an used iPhone 12 mini from Carousell for cheap but the health only 80%. After about a month, it dropped to 78%. |

QUOTE(Hardcore Leveling Warrior @ Sep 11 2025, 09:21 AM) as previously said... add a little and go for 15 minimum.. at least can upgrade to ios26 as that's the trend..( and why the others are selling)..if 13, you can get ios18, the next ios upgrade could be questionable.. |

Bad experience buying used reconditioned refurbished online, loose part, loose screw, missing screw, dead pixel.
Ask the sales guy to show you every available phone and use your eye to see one by one until you satisfied with the choice. Too much time required to choose carefully. |

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 |
