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.
