    Awesome tips! I listed this down as a checklist when buying my 2nd hand iphone, I suggest maybe organizing it so that it can become more systematic (i.e. if possible leave the resetting of everything towards the very end; when testing out other sim cards also check out the sim tray for water damage marks, etc)
    I also just wanted to add some additional tips:
    - Check the flashlight if it works
    - Check the compass if the internal gyroscope works
    - Check the bluetooth by connecting to a wireless speaker/headphones and testing it out

    You refer to OEM batteries as if they were made by a third-party. My understanding of OEM is that it is the same equipment used by the manufacturer of the product, in this case Apple. So, an OEM battery for an iPhone would be the exact same thing as the battery that Apple uses: no difference whatsoever.

    EXTRA TIP!
    When checking the camera, try the normal video mode at 60fps, time-lapse, and panorama modes.
    This is to check if the OIS is still working well and not problematic. If you notice the OIS moving even when your hands are still while on those modes, don't get that phone if your main concern is the camera.

      Could be true, but this was after the update. What you should do is calculate how many battery cycles used then see what the true % capacity is because 100% is only an estimate and not actual percentage.

      When you are talking with someone and it’s close to your ears, the iPhone automatically locks. If you are looking to lock it while on the call, just put the speaker on and lower the volume so it sounds regular and now if you lock it with the lock button it won’t hang up

      Can't be fixed. The IMEI number has been blacklisted. It has been used for fraudulent activities on Snapchat and Instagram and now blacklisted.
