There are options in the settings to test everything like microphone, screen, speakers, screen, touchscreen and so on. It also checks for dead pixels and colour contrast problems. This is far more accurate then testing yourself like this
I’d advise against plugging your SIM card into their phone unless you’ve purchased it. Sure you need to verify it’ll work with your carrier, but it’ll register your SIM’s ICCID with the phone’s IMEI, and if they ever report that phone lost or stolen it the carrier will lock any ICCID registered to that device.
I've never heard of that happening in the 20 years I've been in the cell phone industry. I am open to learning new things, but I don't think anything about your comment is correct. In fact, in my experience of putting my personal sim into 100's or 1000's of devices - from my recycling biz - where some of the devices end up being blacklisted/lost/stolen/etc I still have the same sim working just fine. But you do you.
@@JasonClements I’ve seen it happen 3 times personally and once it happened to me, and have had both Verizon and AT&T recommend against it for this very reason. Sure not a lot, but it happens.
My biggest worry is that the phone was stolen in one way or another and after using it for a few months, the original appleid account would lock the phone. I was never an iphone user so idk how it works but I know it's a thing.
1. don't buy stolen phones 2. don't buy from shady characters. 3. don't buy off of FB Marketplace 4. In 20 years of being in the cell phone industry, that is not really a thing that happens...super rare...just enough for the news to write scary stories to sell you something. good luck to you.
I guess someone evil could call their carrier and report it after the fact. And there are evil rotten people out there who sell used phones. Use your Spidey Sense to sniff them out!

Something for me to study up on. Thanks.

Oh also make sure that if it’s an iPhone that it is not logged into any Apple ID because it can iCloud lock the iPhone
You are correct! Thank you!
Who cleans the best? TIDE!

@@JasonClementsis there any way to prevent an Imei being reported after the fact or is it just a risk

And don’t forget to check the battery health.
