Buying a used iphone, what to worry about?

[Rotterdams]

I am going to buy a "iphone 6 plus 16gb"

 

What im going to check is:

 

1-) IMEI check on police website to see if its stolen or not.

2-) Check if all buttons work.

3-) Check if icloud is logged out.

 

What else should I check? And how can I know if the display is good? Sometimes people replace their screen with a cheap Chinese one and it looks alot worse....how can I notice the difference? Should I pull out my regular iphone 6 and compare it next to each other on a white blank screen? If iphone 6 and 6 plus have same screen quality that is.

 

All tips and tricks are welcome

 

Idk why but my heat beats 10x faster when im going to buy a used product lol

scared of getting scammed i guess....luckly i never got scammed lol

If find my iphone is still on, you're screwed. Apple changed their policies and carriers won't deal with an iphone with FMi enabled since it's basically a device they can't do anything with it second-hand.

battery life on the appstore.

see if theres water damage (theres sensors on the phone itself)

see the dead pixels

see if the headphone jack is borked

see if it charges correctly

rereading the post, it doesn't say that hes buying online

to answer the chinese display replacement thing, restore and see if theres 'error 52'

if thats not a thing, its ok. if it is a thing, well its a cheap replacement.
