Added (1). sorry for some typos. Anyways, I ask because I'm using the app offer up to buy a iphone x, and i just want to know if i should be wary and when i inspect the phone if there's a way to check if its been tampered with so it has older hardware.
If you buy from a reputable authorized seller, you should have nothing to worry about.
No. The internals of iPhones differ enough that it would be next to impossible to do so. The closest you'd get to that is the iPhone SE which is basically a 6s in a 5s' body.
No.
But - there are look-alikes or clones, Chinese fakes that sell for $100
Be very! Careful if is not one of those.
They are actually a cheap android phone with modified icons and a black notch graphic in the screen background image, not in the phone!

- Where can I but an iPhone 5c cover that looks like the iPhone 5s? I'm really wishing I had got the iPhone 5s rather than the 5c purely for cosmetic reasons. Can anyone tell me where i can buy a cover than will fit my 5c that will make it look similar to the 5s?
- New iPhone synced in iTunes and now looks like old phone? I got a new iPhone and plugged it into my computer, then clicked sync. After I clicked sync I looked at my phone and all new photos were gone and the old photos were put on. The background changed color and all my old apps went on the new phone, making my phone look exactly like my old one. How do I get my phone back to normal with the apps, background, and photos? How do I make it so this phone is independent of the other one on iTunes?
- My iPhone says its up to date but its not? I have the iPhone 4s and every time I go into settings-general-software update, it says my software is up to date with iOS 6.1.3! All my friends have gotten iOS 7 already! Why doesn't mine say I need to update to iOS 7! And how can I make it say that? And I know that the iPhone 4s can get it.
- Is it possible to use the same apple ID for a new phone but not have everything from the old phone transfer over? I was just wondering because I will be getting a new iPhone and I want to still use my current apple ID, but have a clean slate and choose what transfers over.
