A used iPhone is one of the best-value buys in Pakistan — if you avoid the traps. Here's how to buy one safely.

Check these 5 things

  1. Battery health %. On iPhone this matters a lot. 85%+ is healthy; below 80% expect to replace the battery.
  2. IMEI & PTA status. Confirm it's PTA-approved or priced for non-PTA. Use the free IMEI check.
  3. Not iCloud/activation-locked. A locked iPhone is a paperweight. NoSiappa screens for this.
  4. Condition, honestly graded. New / Open Box / Mint / Good / Fair — match the photos.
  5. Seller rating & reviews. Verified sellers with a track record.

Pay the right price

Open the iPhone model page for your exact model and storage, compare live listings, and check the price guide (median of recent sales). Price near the median is fair; a flagship far below market is a warning sign.

Why escrow makes it safe

The biggest iPhone scam is paying first. On NoSiappa your money is held in escrow until the phone arrives and you confirm it's as described — otherwise you're refunded. Read how escrow works and how to avoid scams.
