iPhone 12
It is public and notorious that the vast majority of the company's fans sell our previous device, which has been on the market for a year or less, to get the new model. Apple will always offer us money for our iPhones but not as much as if we sell it on our own.
Apple phones don't depreciate in the same way as competitors' phones. If the iPhone 12 Pro cost me €1,159, I can sell it for €800/850, so I wouldn't spend a lot of money buying the iPhone 13 Pro /Pro MaxAnd you can find, in the second-hand market, many phones, even discontinued ones, something very interesting.
When you buy a second hand iPhone make these checks:
We already talked about everything you should buy before buying a second-hand iPhone but, in addition, it is also important to know the origin of the device, for that you have to go Go to Settings/General/About and see the first letter that appears. There are several possibilities to consider:
- F (Refurbished Unit): The iPhone has undergone a restoration process to return to market. An iPhone that has been purchased and returned within the return and refund period to Apple or a demo unit. Sometimes they are also computers that had technical problems.
- M (Retail Unit/Sales Unit): This is a new iPhone, purchased directly from Apple or from an authorized provider through its online or physical store. It's the “original” so to speak.
- N (Replacement Unit): The iPhone we are talking about is a device provided to us by Apple, or an authorized repair center, which is gives us while ours is being repaired.
- P (Engraved Unit): The phone is personalized with an engraving on the back.
important iPhone information
This information is especially useful and to take into account if we are thinking of buying a second-hand iPhone. By knowing the first letter of the model, we will be able to know if the seller wants to deceive us by saying, for example, that he sells anew iPhoneand it really is a refurbished one.
Please keep this in mind whenever you go to get a used iPhone. It is very important for your safety and possible failures that may occur or have. By the way, are you going to buy any iPhone 13?.
