Common iPhone 8 issues we check at inspection
- Cracked or damaged screen. The glass front (Gorilla Glass) is prone to chipping and cracking from drops, especially on the corners.
- Battery health significantly degraded. Original 1821mAh battery often shows reduced maximum capacity (<80%) after several years of use, leading to poor battery life.
- Water damage indicators tripped. Despite IP67 rating, prolonged exposure or submersion can lead to internal corrosion or component failure, often indicated by tripped internal liquid contact indicators.
- Home button/Touch ID malfunction. The physical Home button, which houses the Touch ID sensor, can become unresponsive or fail due to wear, debris, or damage.
- Charging port issues. The Lightning port can accumulate lint and debris, leading to charging or connectivity problems. Internal port damage is also possible.
- iCloud lock / Activation lock. Devices sold without the original owner's Apple ID removed are permanently locked and unusable.
