How to Check if a Used iPhone is Original in UAE (7 Easy Steps)
Buying a used iPhone in Dubai? Make sure it is genuine. Follow these 7 steps before you buy.
Step 1: Check IMEI on Apple’s Website
Dial *#06# and check the IMEI at checkcoverage.apple.com. A genuine iPhone will show its model and purchase date.
Step 2: Check Battery Health
Go to Settings → Battery → Battery Health. Should be 85%+ for a good used iPhone.
Step 3: Verify iCloud is Unlocked
Settings should show no other person’s Apple ID. Never buy an iCloud-locked iPhone.
Step 4: Test All Functions
- Face ID or Touch ID
- All cameras
- Speakers and microphone
- Charging port and Wi-Fi
Step 5: Check for Screen Replacement
Settings → General → About. ‘Important Display Message’ means screen was replaced with non-Apple part.
Step 6: Check Carrier Lock
Settings → General → About → Carrier Lock. Should say ‘No SIM restrictions’ to work with UAE SIMs (du, Etisalat).
Step 7: Buy from a Trusted Store
The safest way is to buy from a trusted retailer. At Babar Dewan Electronics, all these checks are done for you before every sale.
