It needs to be restored, might be a stolen phone that got wiped. If you buy it as it is, and restore it you might find that it's activation locked to the previous owner's appleid, and you will be left with an expensive brick.

If so seller will probably be, the phone is just fine, you just have to restore it in iTunes. blah blah blah

No, unfortunately that won’t work. If you want to try and edit and not want to use the default editing setting in the photo app, use Lightroom for editing. Halide is just a third party camera app. It gives manual controls over the default app. But yes it’s subscription based.

And now you are arguing as why it is justified to fraud Apple, and also trying to convince us that an Apple representative said it is ok.

You payed for an insurance that cover certain damages, not scratches. You know that but you are asking how to deliberately damage your phone so that Apple has to cover a screen replacement that they should not have to cover. On top of that you do not see the obvious fraud here.

Ya. The weird thing is I even tried signing out of the app then deleting it and still it was logged in on reinstall.

It was an email+pw account too, not tied to my appleid or anything on the phone.

Tried logging it into a new dummy account and then deleting and still it had my original account logged in on reinstall.

Pretty significant issue but I never found anyway to report or get apple to address it.

Yeah that’s odd, I’d be complaining myself if I was constantly getting over processed photos especially in daylight conditions. You can mitigate the sharpening by editing the photos but with iPhone it’s supposed to be point and shoot. Also taking Raw shots when you want to capture even more detail comes in handy.

For me standard photographic style has worked best.
