VIDEO: This is how the Chinese make new iPhones from 2nd hand units

Heland Ortega

Have you ever seen an iPhone on sale with a price that’s too good to be true? It turns out we already know one of the reasons why they managed to sell it in low price. Watch the video below to see how they do the trick.

Disguised as a brand new unit, these second-hand units are re-packaged and carefully sealed complete with new accessories and stickers. What I could say to those manufacturers in the black market is that they are really getting better. So you need to be more keen in buying a ‘brand new’ iPhone because it can cause us consumers a lot more than we could ever imagine. Keep in mind that it is always safe to buy these handsets from authorized resellers instead of buying cheap iPhone that will only last in a short period of time.

Assuming that you’ve already followed the steps and you know your iPhone 5 is qualified to have its battery replaced for free, just follow these simple steps:

1. Choose your method of service:

Note: If you wish to go to an authorized Apple service provider, just click on the link and input your current location for them to give you a list of service provider locations.

2. Once there, your iPhone 5 will be examined before any service is done just to verify that it is eligible for the program and is in working order.

3. After verification and everything is good to go, it’s now time to prepare your device for the battery replacement. Be sure to:

  • Backup your data to iTunes or iCloud
  • Turn off Find my iPhone
  • And finally, Erase data and settings (Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings)

That’s about it! Apple reminds us, though, that any damage apart from the battery that may affect the process should first be repaired before the procedure for battery replacement begins.
