It doesn't matter what type of iPhone a consumer is thinking about buying: a 4gb refurbished iPhone, an 8gb refurbished iPhone or a 16gb iPhone all have built in moisture detectors which will immediately reveal if the phone is water damaged. Of course, you can always question the seller and ask if the item has had water damage in the past, but it is far safer to look into whether or not the refurbished iPhone has been damaged by water physically. Checking for water damage is simple; when looking to buy a refurbished iPhone, you can gently lift the battery out of the iPhone to see if there is a tiny, white colored dot beneath the area where the battery is placed. When checking beneath the refurbished iPhone for the moisture indicator, if the consumer discovers a small, red colored dot or no dot at all, this is a clear indication that something is amiss and that the iPhone has been exposed to moisture.
Ensuring the Refurbished iPhones are Not Blacklisted
When a consumer is shopping for an Apple iPhone 4gb, 8gb, or 16gb, if the iPhone has been locked or blacklisted, it really does not matter whether the phone lacks any water damage or any exterior damage. When a refurbished iPhone is blacklisted, it will fail to work completely. An electronic serial number, otherwise referred to as an ESN, that is in the clear is needed too, or, once again the iPhone will not work. Stolen iPhones are blacklisted and cannot be activated.
If an iPhone is considered locked, this limits the carrier that the buyer of the refurbished iPhone can work with. It is important when one buys a refurbished iPhone that he or she is fully aware if it has a locked status. A locked AT&T iPhone will not work with T-Mobile, even though it is on the GSM network.
