Common iPhone 8 Plus issues we check at inspection
- Cracked or damaged screen. The glass front (Gorilla Glass) is prone to cracks and chips from drops, often affecting touch functionality.
- Battery health below 80%. The 2691mAh battery naturally degrades over time, leading to significantly reduced battery life.
- Water damage indicators tripped. Despite the IP67 rating, prolonged exposure or submersion can lead to internal corrosion, affecting various components.
- Non-functional Home button / Touch ID sensor. The physical Home button, which also houses the Touch ID sensor, can become unresponsive or fail due to wear and tear or impact damage.
- Cosmetic wear on aluminum frame. The aluminum frame can exhibit scuffs, dents, and scratches from normal use and handling.
- iCloud Activation Lock. Phones are often sold without the previous owner removing their iCloud account, rendering the device unusable without credentials.
