Battery Health

Very recent model — most units have 90%+ battery health. Target 88%+ minimum.

What to Check Before Buying

Check Face ID and Action Button functionality.
Verify IMEI at dirbs.pta.gov.pk.
Test all 5 cameras including 5x periscope zoom and 4K 120fps video.
Inspect titanium frame and Ceramic Shield front.
Test USB-C 3.0 port with high-speed transfer.
Confirm Apple Intelligence features working (requires iOS 18.1+).

Common Faults and Warnings

Prices still very close to new retail. PTA approved units are limited — most are JV or CPID. Confirm unit is not carrier locked before purchase. Avoid units with swapped screens.

Resale Value

Strong resale expected for at least 2 years. As Apple's current flagship, it will depreciate slowly until iPhone 17 series becomes widely available used.
