Hello,
I recently received a replacement 12pro from Asurion via Sprint. I’ve read alot of mixed reviews about Asurion and the quality of their refurbished phones.
I was wondering if there were any way i can check the condition of the components of the phone, for example if any of the hardware was replaced by non apple-certified or used parts.
The replacement phone that arrived came in an asurion box, but seems to be good as new, at least on the outside (there is no asurion brand mark or logo). Ive been able to confirm that the model that arrived is a replacement phone by looking at the first letter of the model # (starts with N).
i have also noticed that the apple warranty expires on 12/29/2022 which is a bit strange as I keep reading that a new phone would have only 1 year of coverage, so why does this supposed refurbished phone have about 1.5 years of coverage?
Additionally i was wondering if anyone has had any experience using the program 3utool and could tell me if it’s safe to use. Ive seen some forums explaining how plugging in your phone while using the tool can tell you exactly what components in the phone have been replaced. Im hesitant to try this out as i know very little about it and do not want to change any settings or corrupt my phone.
Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to read. I recognize most of the information that i am looking for may be be a long shot. Just looking for any reassurance if possible.
