Of course. As long as it the right phone and not iCloud locked, I wouldn’t worry

That’s handy. Thanks. I was not looking forward diffing through mails to see what I purchased last time for a sim. Esim is so much easier.

Reply to getting a 14 plus, is dynamic island really a big deal that I'll miss? I mean all it has to offer can be done easily otherwise too by Crystalagent47
isnt 13pm better than 14's? idk anyone who bought 14 ... they either upgraded to 14p/pm or 13pm. 14's just burn extra cash and are basically the same as 13p/pm

Reply to Apple, please go to the table with google and come up with something better that everybody can use if iMessage is going to be off limits to non apple users. We need a solution to this. Apple and google have a responsibility to take action when they easily can. SMS needs to die. by talksickwalkquick
Maybe Tim Cook will listen when his phone number and his iPhone is getting calls and messages like this.

My thoughts exactly,the mute button also had some filth in it and the charging port/speakers also filthy,maybe if it was advertised good or very good it would have been acceptable,the seller doesn't accept returns but I think I'm saved by ebay money back guarantee.

Another lifetime android user here who moved to the iphone.
Main reason for moving was the iPhones battery life was just better than any phone out there. The Haptic engine is more natural and the whole phone is really smooth. You can switch between apps without stutter. I can play call of duty without the phone getting hot.
However there are drawbacks that I didn't know about
By default location permissions are only enabled while you use the app. Because of this Google maps couldn't record my timeline. When I enabled location always on the battery went down 5%
Sharing from the photos app has been quite buggy. I simply share from the app instead
There is no builtin call recording like my Samsung had. I don't trust third party apps
Siri and Carplay are mostly garbage. The default keyboard is garbage too. This has been a major downgrade for me.
Many a times I can't download files from web. "File cannot be downloaded at this time". Has been pretty annoying.
The lightening port cannot power ssds or dashcam while my galaxy could easily do it.
The phone is really difficult to use one handed. I really miss the swipe from anywhere on Android and no, the swipe left on iphone is not a good substitute nor is it as ergonomic as swipe from right.
After having used both Android and iPhone, the perfect phone for me would be Apples silicon and hardware, Googles software and Samsung designs which I find lightweight and so ergonomic in the hand.

If the listing was for an excellent condition phone with no damages, I’d expect a phone in similar condition as one I’d open new. Maybe small cosmetic defects (my 12 mini has a dot of coloring missing on the metal edge, but it came out of the box that way and I don’t mind) but not scratches. If you can return it, I would.

I'm the opposite, just moved to Android. Feels good to be out of the "empire;" and frankly don't miss it much. The funny thing some of my iPhone lads complained more than I suffered in any way, just tells you how strong the network effect is... but I am happy to be the outlier and enjoy my life on the frontier.
Looking forward, I am looking at disruptors, possibly new phones on Android or other that I will be able to easily migrate to.

If the phone is in the condition the listing stated (minus packaging) I wouldn’t worry too much. People also resell just the boxes, and I imagine other people buy them so they can raise their listing price for the phone some. I can’t think of another reason people sell just the box.

Is it a person you know texting you or a company sending you ads?
If the latter - sounds like your phone has a geofence on.
One of your apps is sending location data and selling that to a company.
Do you have your phone through AT&T or Comcast? They can get your location based on connecting to any of their Wi-Fi devices without you sending location data (turn off automatically connect for their Wi-Fi SSID to stop this).

My phone has the original accessories in the box still. I have a pair of AirPods and use wireless charging at home and the office. I have other cords already in my car, so no need to open any of the accessories that came with it.
That’s one reason Apple stopped including charge bricks in the newer models. They just assume everybody already has one so it’s cheaper (for them) to sell the phone without it.

This doesn't work if there is horizontal scrolling on the page. Also not all apps support it like Amazon for example. It is really inconsistent.

Samsung was not the first to come up with waterproofing. Sony was developing waterproof phones and then they made even their flagship phone Xperia Z completely waterproof. This was a big selling point and the industry quickly caught up with that.
