The Apple iPhone turned 10 this year and in this amount of time, the phone has made a huge impact on the world. In fact, the iPhone is probably the most influential consumer electronics product ever made. However, as appealing as they are to majority of the consumers, the price may not be affordable for everyone. Even though the iPhone 7 and recently launched iPhone 8 has cut down the prices of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s, still you may want to look for cheaper options. The solution could be buying used Apple iPhone 6s. However, the main problem is that while looking for the best price, some people who are not tech savvy could encounter fake devices. Here is how to tweak fraudsters when buying used Apple iPhone 6s. • Too low price and advance payment When you are buying a second hand iPhone, be careful. People will offer you goods at a very low price and with an obligatory advanced payment. Sellers will have many convincing arguments such as in need of money ASAP, two similar devices were given as gifts and so on. This way you can come away with a device that is broken or nothing at all. An advanced payment in the majority of cases is a no-no. The only exception is when you buy a device from a trusted salesman or an authorized Apple retailer, but they must have good rating given by users. • iPhone with Chinese roots Many people deliberately buy fake iPhones from Chinese manufacturers just because they are cheap. That’s their choice. However, sometimes these fake devices are sold as original devices. Some of them look just look similar to real ones. This simple trick will help you detect the fake device. Fake iPhones run under the control of Android OS and all you need to do is to turn it on and see which store it supports: Google Play (a fake) or App Store (a real iPhone). • Stolen Device When you are buying a used iPhone there is a good chance that you would be offered a stolen device. There is no way to know for sure, but you need to look for indirect signs. Check the seller’s profile and reviews from other customers. When you check the device, compare the code, serial number and IMEI from the box with the information given in the device settings. These are some tweaks to help you identify fake devices.
