Bought used Iphone 12 PRO

Hi there.

I need some help to know is my iphone’s battery or screen changed or not?


I’ve bought used iphone 12 PRO 2 days ago on 1 of October. It was unpacked but look’s so good. No scratchs on back and profile screen. The seller said that it was used for only two and a half months. It was activated on 16 of december in 2020 (that is strange). Battery health is 100%. How it can be activated last year and have 100% of battery life??)

Battery cycle count is 81

but in the code <Battery IDchanged> i’ve <1> in the code. Does it mean that my iphone’s battery is changed?


Waiting for your answer and thank you in advance. If another information required i’n send.

If you have a Mac you can use Coconut Battery app to see the manufacturing date of the phone and battery. The battery needs to be older!

The 81 cycles corresponds with 2.5 months use snd 100% health

December 2020 is not a problem if it went into a drawer for the rest if its life.

Fake batteries and screens generally tell you in Settings, and Face ID would not work.
