Review: iStore Preowned

[Koning Lodewyk]

I Bought an "CPO" iPhone X from iStore Garden Route back in 2019/2020. Device was in excellent condition but the screen was doing random things like touching itself (Not inappropriately) but would detect random touches on the display.

I sent the phone in and it turned out that the device had a 3rd party screen.
They replaced it free of charge without any question, but since then I would be a bit hesitant to get a CPO device again from iStore seeing that their certification process is not foolproof for their "CPO" label.

is the SE the equivalent of a 9? and the x is the equivalent of a 10? im being given the x I currently have a 8

Yes but both will only give you about 4h screen on time.

I can put the SE in your X.

SE 2020 is closer to an 11 if you look at the specs.
Same processor
Same main camera.

The SEs typically come out a couple of months after one of the normal phones. They tend do get the same main camera and main processor, but lesser screen, so far stuck with touchID as opposed to FaceID, smaller batteries, less RAM. Basically Apple can keep using the same parts (the iPhone 7/8 design) with a newer processor.

Original SE was the same as the iPhone 6s but in the iPhone 5 body.
SE 2020 was the same as the iPhone 11 but in the iPhone 8 body
SE 2022 was the same as the iPhone 13 (but they kept the iPhone body).

The benefit of it is of course that Apple continues to provide updates to them for a lot longer.
