Buy used iPhone 4s - you should pay attention to that

Are you planning to buy a used iPhone 4s? Then you should consider these tips:

The best tips for buying a used iPhone 4S:

• Never pay in advance! Unfortunately there are too many black sheep on the Internet for this.
• Pay attention to the reputation of the seller! Read the seller's reviews carefully before buying. This applies to private sellers as well as to shops.
• If possible, buy on site. Sometimes a return can be difficult - especially with private sellers.
• Is there just a photo of the iPhone 4s? There may be scratches that are cleverly hidden.
• Read the fine print: Sometimes it is only after huge blocks of text that the device is defective.
• Does the seller have an invoice and is there still a guarantee on the iPhone? If so, that can be a plus. Some dealers also offer their own guarantees or a right of return on used goods such as Amazon, reBuy, Momox and Hitmeister. Apple itself also sells used devices.
• If possible, pay with PayPal. Otherwise, as the buyer, you may bear the shipping risk.
• Priced iPhones 4s are usually between 230 and 560 euros - depending on the equipment and condition.

The iPhone 4s: a decision-making aid

The iPhone 4s celebrated its premiere in October 2011. The device is by no means out of date because it only just got a speed boost from iOS version 7.1. Apple itself only sells the smartphone in the version with 8 GB of memory - which is extremely little. In this variant, you can get the device for 399 euros.

• Do not save on storage, as you cannot retrofit it from Apple devices using an SD card.
• Anyone who uses their smartphone as a multimedia device will soon reach their limits with 16 GB. Therefore, choose the variant with 32 or 64 gigabytes of memory.
