I picked up an iPhone 7 used the other day. It appears to be brand new. Zero wear and tear and 100% battery health. It’s my secondary phone, because I wanted something smaller for work. Before picking it up, I had no idea about the no-signal bug. It’s the unlocked version with the Qualcomm modem, and was produced in the timeframe where those models are affected. (Produced in November 2016)
I contacted Apple support to try and figure out when the initial purchase was, but they couldn’t answer that. From what I read, Apple will cover it within 3 years of initial purchase. Is there ANY way to figure that out online? I have a feeling this phone must have sat in a warehouse somewhere, due to it looking brand new and having 100% battery health. This wasn’t a phone someone used for more than a week, from my opinion as someone who is ocd about phones and keeps them in good shape.
Just trying to see if I should return it, because I don’t want to deal with the no signal bug if it’s nearly guaranteed to happen. All I know is that I read the Qualcomm model was way better, but no signal bug is a deal breaker.
Assuming it’s not covered, how much does the repair cost? Thanks for any info
