You can do so by the model number. I would have to Google this again myself, but you can do this just as easily, just search for "How to check if my iPhone is new or refurbished" or something like that. The model numbers start with a certain letters if it is a new or refurbished phone. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M.

I thought it was going to explode or something. it took an hour to go from a small crack to one big enough for a pencil to go into. as for a backup I had an encrypted one on my computer, and everything was flawless, passwords and everything. I am pretty happy with how it turned out even though it took over a week to resolve, oh and they gave me a loner phone while mine was being fixed. I have n complaints at all.

RE: Resolution to: RE: A Question to iPhone 8 Users, Regarding Streaming Audio to the Apple EarPods Through the Lightning Port After Updating to the Latest iOS Version
Hello Sieghard, In my case, I was handed the original box from which I removed this device, said box having the devices ID numbers and such on it's label. This is what prompted me to ask about the phone as I assumed it would be a refurbished model. I was told that, had they any refurbished models, then I would have been given one; however, as it turned out, they did not so, hence my new phone. Now, as to your statement, I must ask, how on earth did you determine that your replacement device was, in fact, a refurbished model?

I am not saying this is the case with yours, but this has been my experience in the past. On the other hand it doesn't really matter because for all intends and purposes an Apple refurbished phone is as good as new anyways. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M.

As a result, just 3 months before my Apple Care Plus warranty is to expire, I received a brand new iPhone 8 Plus. They were quick to point out that this is a new phone and not a refurbish one. So much the better, eh? To be honest, I was planning on getting a new phone this coming fall but, if I don't see a model about which I am particularly enthusiastic, I will probably stay with my 8 Plus. We shall see.

Taylor Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2019 6:30 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: A Question to iPhone 8 Users, Regarding Streaming Audio to the Apple EarPods Through the Lightning Port After Updating to the Latest iOS Version Hello Fellow iPhone 8 Users, For whatever reason that I cannot discern, ever since I updated to the latest version of iOS, I cannot reliably listen to audiobooks / streaming audio/ or, some days, even audio sound through the included wired Apple Earpods on my 8 Plus, via the Lightning port. I have no problem accepting that my phone has a damaged port but my inability to consistently reproduce the issue gives me great pause. And, "yes," I have thoroughly cleaned the port and I have tested several different sets of EarPods on the 8 Plus. For the record, none of my EarPods have this problem on any of my other devices. And again, this issue did not occur until after the update. Ultimately, I will take the phone into Apple, as it continues to be under warranty but I wanted to post the question here, just to see what kind of replies I receive. Yes, I've already called Apple and, true to form, they deny any knowledge of any such glitch. Please be aware that on the very first day that the 8 series was released, there was a boot-up problem which I immediately identified and reported to Apple. They, of course, denied the boot-up glitch until about 1 year later when they finally fixed the problem with a later version of iOS. They continued to deny the boot-up glitch even after hundreds and hundreds of reports came in from all across the world. Now the glitch was not devastating and, in the end, it did not impact the use of the phone to the extent that one would return it to the store but the glitch existed and Apple denied its existence. Actually, they did finally admit to the issue about 9 months in but only to beta testers. Sometimes I feel as though my beloved 8 Plus is seen as being a second-class device in the Apple orchard. My point, just because Apple denies knowledge of something, means nothing. Okay, now that I've got that off my chest, (big smile), that's about all for now. All replies greatly appreciated.

I off hand don’t' recall exactly how it went, but I'm sure a quick internet search will bring it up. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M.
