Tips iPhone or iPad purchase second hand

Hi friends, today's tutorial we will talk about gadgets iOS, iPad and iPhone. Specifically we will see what we need to know if you want to buy an iPad or iPhone, second-hand.
As you probably know already, these devices running the iOS operating system. An operating system much darker and more restrictive compared to Android. What Does iCloud blocked or without iCloud?
We need to know that these Apple devices are very secure. All their security is closely linked to the iCloud account that must be added at the first start of an iPhone, a newly purchased iPad. Just as Android needs a Google account and Windows needs a Microsoft account, Apple devices need an iCloud account. When you want to buy an iPad or iPhone that another owner has had before, you will need to disable the "Find my phone" feature and then delete the iPhone or iPad from the iCloud account added to the device. This can be done directly from the device that is being sold to you (if there is the possibility of an internet connection) or from a browser by accessing the address http://icloud.com.
For a complete guide on how to do this is available with instructions on the official website: What to do before selling or disposing of the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch another person
If you buy an iPhone or iPad already has added an iCloud account, you will not be able to update to a new version of iOS, and you can reset the device because immediately after the reset or update, you will be asked iCloud account on the device you have before update or reset.
It is very important that the device have not added or old iCloud account owner to remove the account or iCloud before you sell it to you. Just so you can add your own iCloud account. Free iCloud account, you can not access the App Store application store, you can not install applications, you can not synchronize contacts, calendar, notes, settings, browser bookmarks, documents, photos.
There are currently no bypass methods, deletion, eliminate existing iCloud account on an iPhone, iPad. And by the way bypass iCloud, you very carefully because Internet ads are all sorts of individuals who claim false situation and speculates that can remove iCloud account asking you pay in advance. A locked iPhone or iPad iCloud is as useful as a toy. You can use them only as replacements for another iPhone or another iPad, you can take the camera, buttons, case, display, battery. Precisely for this reason blocked iCloud Apple devices are sold at a very low price.
What does decoded Geveya or R-SIM?
Like other mobile devices, and iPhones can be locked to a certain network or network may be free.
NEVERLOCKED: Means that the iPhone is free from the factory network and accept any SIM card of any mobile operator. These phones are usually more expensive as the decoded with Geveya or R-SIM
UNLOCKED: Means that the iPhone was encoded but decoded based on IMEI (decoding final) and it became free network following an unlocking via IMEI. This release is final and has no disadvantages.
Decaodat Geveya or R-SIMR-SIM or Geveya site is a chip that is applied over the normal SIM card. These chips temporarily decodes the iPhone. Once removed the chip Geveya or R-SIM phone is again encoded, you should always use the Geveya chpip R-SIM or SIM card than the iPhone to operate your network card that you have.
In general iPhones or decoded with Geveya R-SIM or IMEI can not be decoded by decoding times is very expensive. Depending on the network where the iPhone is encoded, decoding permanent / permanent through the IMEI can reach a price of 450 lei or more.
Another extremely important aspect to iPhones decoded Geveya or R-SIM is that these chips are dependent on the version of iOS. You will notice that most often iPhones decoded Geveya or R-SIM runs a very old version of iOS because if it is updated to a newer version of iOS, Geveya site or R-SIM will not operate. Geveya sites and R-SIM cards only support certain versions of iOS and when you decide to do the update to a new version of iOS, you may end up with surprise as chip Geveya / R-SIM not work and then you are forced to acquire another version Geveya / R-SIM designed specifically to decode the new version of iOS. Of course Geveya chips / R-GSM SIM capable to decode a new version of iOS will come much later.
Indicated would be to ask the seller version Geveya / R-SIM used in the iPhone and to inquire on the websites of manufacturers of these chips on iOS versions that that version of Geveya / R-SIM supports.
Another big problem if a decoded Geveya iPhone / R-SIM mobile internet 2G / 3G. Because there is a huge amount of mobile phone companies that use tapes different transmission, it is quite difficult to impossible to conceive a Geveya / R-SIM capable to give you the functionality full, and on the GSM signal (calls / sms) and 3G on mobile data (internet) in any mobile network. If a Geveya / R-SIM GSM network successfully unlock your might to have big surprises in terms of mobile Internet. In many cases mobile internet does not work at all for iPhones unlocked with such chips. You have an iPhone with Geveya / R-SIM functional in all respects, both the GSM and to the mobile data but you want to change the card with another mobile operator, you might have surprises on the mobile data.
In the end very careful what you buy and never be intimidated by owners trying to escape quickly rush you. Test the phone, ask questions. I'm in the middle and your money is your right to ask for the information you need. If the owner is honest and really wants to sell merchandise, be sure that will have patience with you and will give you all the explanations you ask. Only the one who has something to hide will keep you sidestep questions will try to speed up the acquisition and will try to lead by the nose with all kinds of excuses stutter.
Be very attentive to those who try to sell replicas iPhone. Who has had the iPhone will be easy to distinguish a fake from a genuine iPhone. Usually lines running Android with a theme that mimics very good interface iOS and have hardware specs weak experience in menus is not as smooth, fluent and menu navigation is cumbersome, can be seen drop frames while switching from one home screen to another, something not found on a genuine iPhone.
Even these days I saw the ads iPhone 6 some high prices, around 1700. 6 iPhone currently does not exist, it has not been announced officially released and do not even know if 6 iPhone will be the final name for the next generation of iPhone. It's just running Android chinezarii plastic over imposing a theme that really good IMTA iOS. Find YouTube unboxing even mentioning their sites that they're replicas, fakes. The most recommended would take someone with you who knows or has had the iPhone, iPad.

Those who give themselves to others will lose themselves but usefully, leaving something useful to others. Enjoying this privilege, I will never say "I don't know", but "I don't know yet"!

      • If you can get a question ajuti.am bought a second hand iPhone fostu owner pulled his iCloud account and when I try to do one again writes that this device is not eligible to create another account grastis.ce I could do this situation?

        • Make the account on a PC, laptop accessing appleid.apple.com account and then add the iPhone. It seems that there is a limit iCloud able to create accounts on the same device.
          Warning, do not give fictitious account creation or if fictitious notes to create your account information listed somewhere. If you lose access to iCloud account, you have nothing do with the device.
          After you do your account will be sent a confirmation email to the email address entered iCloud account creation, account must be activated by the link sent in the email that introduced iCloud account creation and then you can add the iPhone.

          • Hi Adrian, I ask you I want to buy an iphone 7 plus, the man says he doesn't have an icloud account and I can put mine in, now comes the problem he said: On the phone you CANNOT RESET, and I asked him why ? Answer: It was activated without an icloud account. Now I'm asking you Adrian. Why ? If the phone does not have an account.

  • One more thing, but as I realize it's NEVERLOCK except that I put another card from another operator, I saw (heard) that it works checked with the phone's IMEI such as this site "iphoneimei.info" but no always works .. is there another way ?? (many say they can check this based on IMEIu of course in exchange for a sum of money) ..

  • Yes, but how do I know it's NEVERLOCK (apart from putting another mobile phone card in it) are there other solutions? (I found several sites where you have to enter the IMEI of the phone ... sometimes it doesn't work sometimes) ...

    • Since you accept two cards from two different mobile providers it is more than obvious that the device is unlocked or Neverlocked. Actually it does not matter if Unlocked (explained in the text above tutorial Neverlocked means and means Unlocked). iPhones unlocked / unlocked by IMEI definitively shows no disadvantages, is like a Neverlocked.

  • Also worth mentioning that iPhone versions only 4 there a way to bypass the blocked iCloud.
    They can be unlocked but you can not use the GSM. You can use your iPod just for music playback, video clips, you can take pictures, browse the web using Safari browser. You can not give or receive calls / sms.
    Personally I find inconvenient 4 purchase an iPhone (even the decoded without iCloud account) simply because this model is very old. iOS 8 to be released soon, will not support and 4 iPhone model. It has a very weak today's hardware, the battery will take very little and the latest version of iOS will move very slow 7.1.2

    • You say Adrian, but better i4 than i4s blocked icloud: P
      I have owned i4 for half a year and this model still holds me well: D

  • An interesting question: What would an "experienced" thief do if he found an iPhone?
    It is likely to delete iCloud website owner? date Factoy reset? or return to the factory settings?

    • You already have the answer and tutorial (this unless you've developed and you watched the dropped) in the text above tutorial

    • Hi I have a question: I have a friend and wants to sell iphone4s, I want to buy it give him mia said the phone it has again lam asked if he has an account iCloud and mia said that he gives no knowledge contu iCloud, so I have nothing to do with it if I reset it asks contu?

    • As I said in the text above tutorial, many claim to remove or unlock an iPhone with iCloud blocked. That does not necessarily mean that their service is the best. You personally tested and functioned? You resorted to them and went? You have the courage to pay for such a service?
      As an aside, those who have blocked iPhone / iPad via forgot password own iCloud and have documents / invoice proves that iPhone / iPad belongs can turn to Apple requesting a password reset iCloud account if you do not handle it with steps password recovery access icloud.com.
      Of course, you will be asked invoice that proves the iPhone / iPad will belong together with other information that will be requested in the email.

  • hello adrian! how can i get rid of this site from google chrome? i deleted it from the toolbar it also appears in explorer and in mozilla i replaced the address but it doesn't work this is the site: "http://postimg.org/image/qean9eq77/" ms salut

    • Find our tutorial on "How to reset the default settings of any web browser" Also check through the control panel not to install any dubious adware. I recommend you to use AdwCleaner, it's free, you can find it with Google

  • To add to what you said in the tutorial:
    1. Ask for IMEI and check on "iphoneimei" (it works well, if it doesn't work it is very likely that the given IMEI will not be valid) - you will see what capacity the phone has, if it is Neverlocked or not, the date when it was bought, or at some checks he also gave me the Provider from which the SERIAL NUMBER was bought
    2. If you will give a serial number on "iphoneimei" you can check on https://getsupport.apple.com/ProductSelector.action a few more details about the phone
    3. iOS has specific applications (like App Store, iTunes Store) that can not be deleted if they are missing is clearly a fake
    4. I know that at least the iPhone 4s has 2 "sensors" to check if the phone has had contact with water, one is on the headset and one on the charger (to be checked with a small flashlight best). They are like two points and if those 2 points are pink the phone had contact with water.
    5. And I noticed another problem on some iPhones, button Home if you attempt to click and turn to some mobile moves (it happened that the iPhones that were leaked often walk)
    6. Try to take a phone that had floor front / rear on the first day and that was maybe a bumper.
