How to check if your iPhone 5 is NEW, FAKE or REFURBISHED?
Should i check the plastic wrap, or the serial? But if i check the seri number so i have to open it? What is the fastest way and safest to check the phone because i'm going get a NEW iPhone 5 tomorrow: C.
I think the easiest way to tell if its a refurb is to look at the cellular usage. Even if the phone is wiped the lifetime usage does not reset. I just got a replacement phone at the Apple store, and looked at the usage and it said 35 days. So obviously someone had it before I did.
- Will a refurbished iPhone 6 plus work and look the same as a new one? I'm due to upgrade my phone (currently using iPhone 5) on O2. I looked on the iPhone 6 and 6 plus options, and I really wanted a 6 plus. The only thing is a new one is really expensive per month, almost £50. But a refurbished one is only around £35 per month. I'm going to be using this phone for 2 years and I don't want to have issues with it, will it come like a new phone (in sealed packaging, with the charger etc)? And look and work like a new phone?
- New or refurbished iPhone 4s? I want to get the iPhone 4s and the refurbished phones are $50 cheaper. I was just wondering what exactly refurbished means and if that will affect the quality of the phone. What would you do?
- Is my new iPhone second hand/refurbished? Logged onto McDonald's Wi-Fi with my brand new phone and someone else's name was registered. How is this possible? When logging on phone said welcome back chrissie someone or other with a Not You? Option
- Is a replacement phone new or refurbished? I dropped my iPhone 7 on the blacktop and it shattered. Insurance says if we bring my phone to the verizon store. Theyll give me a replacement for $149. Is this replacement new or refurbished?
