iPhone XS Max Buying a 2ndHand iPhone

[Aljon]

Hello, What should i check if i want to buy an iPhone Xs Max?
- Is there a posibility that some parts/hardware of the iPhone Xs Max is already changed?. For example the Motherboard? Camera? Chip? and some other parts?.
- Does the phone still works if the hardware changed?
- How can i sure if the phone is not yet Open or repaired to the 3rd party technicians?

Usually the price says a lot .... if to cheap then I would suspect something ...

You can’t really tell if internals were changed. This is one of the reasons I don’t buy anything secondhand.

Although, I’m not sure if third party hardware is actually compatible with Apple devices. I mean one can take various parts out of other Apple devices and put them together with a new housing to make a device work but the individual parts need to be genuine as far as I know.
