It's an individual,what's weird though,I looked through his feedback and I see the same thing,he for example sells an iPhone advertising it with the original packaging,but the accessories are completely unused,but he sells it as HIS phone,if it's his phone how come he didn't use any of the accessories?

The seller probably isn’t worried about the numbers matching as long as the box is for the model you ordered. It is “original” to the phone model. But I completely see your concern.

Is the seller an individual or a business? If it’s a business, it would make sense that things don’t match up, as they are likely dealing with bulk quantities. If it’s from an individual, it could be as simple as they and their spouse each had the same phone and they grabbed the wrong box.

First of all, you can get a lot of information by searching this sub for "android". You're not exactly the first person to ask this question.

iPhones and androids both have their pros and cons. iPhone advantages include:

  • Longevity. We hear stories of people keeping their iPhones for 5-6 years (with occasional battery replacements). We hear stories of people switching from android to iPhone because they hate having to get a new phone every 2-3 years.

  • Better integration within the Apple ecosystem between iPhones, iPads, AirPods, Apple Watches, Macbooks, etc..

Android advantages include customization (Apple's customization is very limited) and notifications.

Two of the biggest complaints android switchers have are notifications (even Apple users hate them) and the on-screen keyboard.

It would have the same numbers if it were the original packaging. But that doesn’t mean you are getting scammed. It just means they used a different this than it came in.

Some people buy/sell phones in bulk. Phone packaging was made to fit the phone it was produced for. So it makes sense to ship it in the same packaging if reselling. You can buy the retail boxes in bulk for this reason.

As long as what was advertised was what you got, I wouldn’t be worried.

It’s almost like people are jealous that we have an opinion on a newer phone? Because we aren’t saying “the best purchase of my entire existence!!!!” People think it’s ok to be nasty. I think they don’t like the reality check that new phones≠perfect & there are a lot of flaws in each model that people like to ignore

I have the 14 PM and I mentioned how the battery wasn’t that great for me and I got downvoted to hell 🤣

It’s actually not just me but the 14 pro models haven’t been great for lots of people.

So again, if you’re not saying things like “Apple makes perfect hardware and software” prepare to be trash talked and downvoted to hell.
