1. Check the activation lock is disabled on iPhone

First things first, you should make sure that the owner has logged out of iCloud or the activation lock is turned off on the device. To check that in person:

Turn on your iPhone and enter your language and region.
If the device asks you to enter the Apple ID and password, then activation lock is enabled.
Ask the owner to log in and then disable the lock by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

Apple also allows users to check and remove the activation lock status remotely. So, if the owner is not present, then ask them to follow the below steps to disable the lock:

Go to iCloud.com and login to their account. Then, go to Find iPhone and select All Devices.
Now, choose your device and hit on Erase [device]. Click on Next when it's erased and then hit on Remove from Account.

2. Verify the device is not stolen and carrier locked

Before finalizing the deal, ensure that the second-hand device is neither a stolen one nor it's carrier-locked. That's why always ask the owner to show the original purchasing receipt of the mobile along with the original box.

Remember, a carrier-locked iPhone can only be used with that carrier. To make sure your device is not carrier unlocked:

Simply insert your SIM card into it and make a call. If the iPhone connects with your SIM card, it's most likely unlocked.
