What should I check if I buy a used iPhone now beside making sure it turns on etc?

1. Check IMEI - How to prevent a clean IMEI/ESN being reported as stolen later on?
2. Check unlock status
3. Check display, How do I check if the display original/OEM? Where will it show up if display is not original?
4. Any other check?

Thanks

What will be the difference between the OEM vs 3rd party replacement? I thought recent iphone will show up with notification if display/screen is not OEM. Where can I see that notification?

I wasn’t referring to whether the panel is genuine or not. Was referring to test it for uniformity and green tint.
