Hi all,
I have a odd ball question... When you trade in an iPhone (specifically iPhone 5) to an apple store, do they verify that the IMEI number printed on the housing matches the IMEI number in settings? I have an iPhone 5 that I rebuilt and used an aftermarket housing for (iPhone 6 mini conversion) but now I plan to move up to the iPhone SE. Since I know they will not accept my iPhone in its current state, I was wondering what would happen if I replaced the housing with an OEM housing. Please know that the IMEI number is not blacklisted or anything! I am not asking to change the number or anything like that. Just wondering if they verify the hardware IMEI printed on the rear of the housing with the software IMEI. If so then no replacement housing will do me any good... OEM or otherwise.
