YOGYAKARTA - When you want to buy a cellphone from Apple, some people will consider whether to buy an iBox or an inter iPhone. However, many do not yet know the difference between the iPhone iBox and inter. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages that can be adjusted to the needs of buyers.

The choice of the iPhone iBox and inter often creates a dilemma for used iPhone seekers. Used iPhone phones are still being hunted a lot because their quality is still very capable. Unfortunately, the selling price of the iPhone second still tends to be more expensive than other brand phones.

These cost constraints often make a person prefer the ex-inter iPhone to iBox. However, there is a special shortage of ex-inters that need to be understood before buying so they don't get disappointed. Therefore, let's first identify the differences between the iPhone iBox and inter and the pluses and minuses.

When looking for a used iPhone, you will find two options, namely the iBox iPhone and the inter iPhone. What is the iBox iPhone? iBox is Apple's official reseller in Indonesia that sells Apple products and its various accessories.

Meanwhile, the term iPhone inter comes from the word "international" which means that this device is obtained through a non-official route and is a large number of imported products. In short, the iPhone inter is a used iPhone that comes from the international market.

Before buying an iPhone, make sure you understand the differences between the two so you can choose according to your preferences. Here are a number of differences in the iPhone iBox and inter that must be recognized so as not to regret after buying:

iBox sells iPhones directly from Apple, so buyers will get official guarantees from Apple. Unlike the inter iPhone, this device does not have a guarantee in Indonesia because it is purchased through non-official channels.

iPhones sold by iBox or official stores have state regional codes in their bodies. For the Indonesian region, the codes that are usually used are PA/A, ID/A, and FE/A. In addition, the outside of the iPhone iBox also has a sign called green peer that shows information about the phone to be purchased.

Meanwhile, international iPhone ex has a different region code. You will not find the code as mentioned above as a marker of the Indonesian region. The iPhone ex inter phone only displays the country code from which the phone was purchased. In addition, green peer is usually not present on the iPhone ex inter.

IBox iPhone users can use SIM cards from various providers in Indonesia without problems. On the other hand, the iPhone ex inter is not always compatible with cellular service providers in Indonesia.

This is the most striking difference. The price of the iPhone from iBox tends to be higher. IPhone phones purchased through authorized distributors usually have a higher selling price. This is because the iPhone sold on iBox is equipped with official guarantees from manufacturers and stores, and guaranteed in new conditions.

Meanwhile, the iPhone ex inter is usually offered at a more affordable price, so it attracts more users to choose it. However, at a cheaper price, users must remain careful of possible damage, given its status as used goods.

The iBox iPhone has a main advantage in the form of an official guarantee from Apple, so users get better selling full-service guarantees. The iPhone phone from iBox is always in new condition, so its quality is more secure. But the weakness is that the price tends to be more expensive than other iPhones.

Meanwhile, international iPhones or ex-inter have advantages in terms of more affordable prices. However, the drawback is the absence of official guarantees in Indonesia. So the owner of this phone is at risk of having a mismatch with local cellular providers and other potential problems because of its status as a used product.

Those are some differences in the iPhone ibox and inter that you need to know before buying it. If you want to be more secure in safety and not at risk, you should choose an iPhone from the iBox. Also read when will the iPhone 16 launch in Indonesia?
