Hello guys, I posted a few days ago regarding an Iphone 17. But yesterday, I actually bought an iPhone 16 pro at 79 k inr (827 usd) with added free 'gifts' like Apple adapter, cable, Airpods Pro??(idk if they are real or not, tell me how can I check the authenticity of these), phone cover, lens cover and screen guard.

The 16 pro is a 256 gb varient, the shop owner claimed it as a demo phone but the serial no. starts with M (maybe I misunderstood the demo part because he was also showing other phones at the time too). I checked there are no unknown parts. But the main issue here is battery health and cycles, the battery health is at 92% with 603 cycles. Should I be worried, is it 79 k worth? Also there is no original box or invoice and the original warranty expired as it was activated on February 2025. But the seller was talking about it having some other external 1yr warranty idk? He said if there will be any issue, he will see it to it and to come to him.

So, tell me is this phone worth it at this price? PLEASE TELL ME IT'S WORTH IT! So, that I can have my peace of mind. I plan to use this phone for at least 5 years?( am I being delusional here?) because my father got it for me (which I'm very much guilty about) and I'm still studying, I can see myself earning atleast 5 yrs later.

Should I have gone for brand new Iphone 17?

Also the shop owner set it for me...is that a problem? Should I factory reset it and set it myself?

And also tell me how to completely check my phone to see if there are no issues!

Hello guys, like I said in the title I want your opinions on what to do because I'm really tired of thinking what to get!!! I'm getting one month old Iphone 17 at 70k inr in a nearby shop. I haven't discussed about it in detail with the shopkeeper yet. Btw Og price is 80k. Should I wait for GOAT sale to buy it brand new? But again, I don't have those bank cards...So I can't claim the max discount. How much will be the price of it without discounts on the sale?

Or should I go for Iphone 16 but still the storage variant is where I'm thinking what to get! Because I want to be able to shoot videos on it and planning to use it for atleast next 5 years. Also till how much time you can use an Iphone?

As my father will be paying for it, I don't want to put much monetary burden on him.

Lastly, should I wait for BBD sale??

I apologise if I'm asking a lot of questions. Thank you, please help me out :)
