Whether it&#8217;s an iPhone HDC, a part that has been replaced, a refurbished product, or a less-quality item (breaks quickly).<\/p>\n<p>So that this doesn&#8217;t happen, generally there are several ways to check a used iPhone and make sure that the product is completely original.<\/p>\n<p>So, for those of you who want to buy, let&#8217;s take a look at some of the ways to check a used iPhone without having to disassemble it below:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Check_the_iPhone_Physically_First\"><\/span><strong>1. Check the iPhone Physically First<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19129 size-full\" title=\"Check the iPhone Physically First\" src=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Check-the-iPhone-Physically-First.jpg\" alt=\"Check the iPhone Physically First\" width=\"600\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Check-the-iPhone-Physically-First.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Check-the-iPhone-Physically-First-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Check-the-iPhone-Physically-First-150x78.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first step you can take is to physically check the iPhone first. Starting from the iPhone case, whether there are scratches or not to several other components.<\/p>\n<p>Because if there is physical damage and you want to repair it, it can be quite expensive.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if there is damage to the frame, then you have to do an iPhone housing with an average price of Rs. 2,635.44. But if there is only damage in the case, you need to do a backdoor service with a price range of Rs. 1,054.14.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Check_iPhone_IMEI\"><\/span><strong>2. Check iPhone IMEI<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Then you have to check iPhone IMEI as well. This is to ensure that the iPhone you want to buy is not a BM ( Black Market ) product.<\/p>\n<p>Because if the original product was originally purchased via iBox, it certainly has the IMEI registered on the Ministry of Industry website.<\/p>\n<p>To get the iPhone IMEI, you can see it via the dusbox. Or you can also go through the Settings menu like in the video above.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Read Also:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"entry-title td-module-title\"><a title=\"How to Activate Siri on iPhone or Disable Siri [2023]\" href=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/how-to-activate-siri-on-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Activate Siri on iPhone or Disable Siri<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Make_Sure_the_Battery_is_Still_Normal\"><\/span><strong>3.

Apart from games, you can also try listening to music or streaming videos.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the battery runs out quickly, it could be that the component has dropped. But if it doesn&#8217;t run out quickly, it&#8217;s a sign that the battery on the iPhone is still normal.<\/p>\n<p>You can also check the Battery Health menu in Settings to see the quality of the iPhone battery.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Check_iPhone_Features\"><\/span><strong>4.

Is the serial number on the dusbox and the iPhone software the same? If they are the same, you can be sure that the iPhone you are going to buy is an original product.<\/p>\n<p>Now the way to see the serial number in the software, you can follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>First, open the Settings menu.<\/li>\n<li>Then select the General menu.<\/li>\n<li>Then tap the About menu.<\/li>\n<li>Swipe down and look for the Serial Number field.<\/li>\n<li>Done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Use_the_3uTools_Application\"><\/span><strong>7.
