Common iPhone SE (2020) issues we check at inspection
- Battery health significantly degraded. The 1821mAh battery in the iPhone SE (2020) is known to degrade over time, often falling below 80% maximum capacity, leading to reduced battery life.
- Scratches and scuffs on glass front/back. The Gorilla Glass front and back are prone to micro-scratches and scuffs from everyday use, especially when placed on rough surfaces.
- Cracked screen or back glass. Accidental drops can lead to cracks on the Retina IPS LCD display or the glass back, a common issue for all glass-bodied phones.
- Water damage indicators tripped. Despite IP67 rating, prolonged exposure or submersion can lead to internal corrosion, often indicated by tripped liquid contact indicators.
- Non-functional Touch ID sensor. The home button/Touch ID sensor can become unresponsive or fail completely due to wear, damage, or software glitches.
- Charging port issues (dirt, damage, wear). The Lightning port can accumulate lint and debris, or suffer wear and tear, leading to intermittent charging or data transfer problems.
