I'm considering purchasing a used iPhone 16 Pro, and the seller claims the battery health is still at 100% with no replaced parts. Does that seem realistic? What's your take on this?

I got my iPhone 17 around November, and it still shows 100%. I charge about every two days. If you hardly use it, you can maintain that for a good while!
Yes, it's definitely possible! I mean, they can show 100% battery health for a good 3 to 6 months, especially if it hasn't been heavily used.
My iPhone 16 Pro is still at 100% after six months of use. It's pretty new! Just ask the seller for the cycle count; that will definitely help you figure out if they're being truthful.
For sure, if the phone hasn't gone through many charging cycles and isn't too old yet, it can show 100% health.
I'd say no, it’s unlikely to be true. A used phone shouldn't have perfect battery health unless it's practically brand new.
You might want to look for a refurbished phone from Apple instead. They're reliable.
Not a good option for me since I would end up paying a lot more with shipping and taxes.
Thanks for the info!
