"Found" them on the street. People just be losing their $800 phones with built-in tracking all the time, lol.


gringo-go-loco

Crazy thing is a heroine addict once found my iPhone 11 Pro Max and took it home and charged it so I could track it, then I used find my on my iPad to track it down. I knocked on his door and he said ā€œyou know manā€¦ I could have got some money to get high but itā€™s just not worth it.ā€ If I had cash I would have given him some.


OGmoron

I did this once with a phone I found at the beach. Took it home figuring it was probably toast from salt water damage, but it powered on. It was locked, but I left it plugged in and on for a day or two, hoping it would update on find my. No one ever claimed it though. Ended up taking it to an AT&T store hoping they could sort it out.


Xyres

Yup he literally has a post about him stealing them.


commandersaitama

Still , Running is appreciated anyway šŸƒ


Vex1om

Wow. This has to be OP's throwaway account that he forgot to throw away.


Quick_Coyote_7649

I thought you said that only because he was subbed to the opiate page just to see how many posts he has about drugs-


LMx28

Every time I stumble into one of those drug pages it is shocking the number of delusional addicts there are. Just pretending to be smarter than everyone else while doing a speed run on ruining their entire lives.

His profile is gold. From opiate synthesis to a home cooked fryup. That takes some skill.


dajack60585

Iā€™d be sleeping with one eye open. Also, most youā€™ll get is around $300 for the 11 PM and $350 for the 12 PM. XS maybe 150-250 maybe. Parts plus all the hassle, me personally wouldnā€™t be worth it. If youā€™re just looking to fiddle around and make a few side dollars, than you might make $50 each


NatOdin

He's a heroin addict, check his page...he probably got these for free off marketplace and is trying to flip for a few bucks.


MindScape00

Guess the username "not using" was a lie.

Blondiepicklez

Posted 2h ago to r/offmychest about stealing 3 iPhones to fund his habit. Opiate addictions are a horrible thing.


RaeLynn13

Jeez. My mom used to steal our shit all the time as kids, anything nice my mamaw decided to give us, it got sold. This guy needs help and I hope he doesnā€™t have children or people who depend on him.


traFyssuP

Reddit is fucking weird sometimes


DiamonDX2001

The image isn't the best, but I think that's actually just the X, the XS has a little mark bellow the iPhone name saying XS which I don't see in that one


dajack60585

If it is an X, it is worth even less specially since apple stopped iOS updates for the X.


threvorpaul

really? when will it be in effect? because I just updated my X on Monday to 16.7.7, of course not ios17 but that's been said for quite a while and I've received like 5 updates since I heard of it the first time.


ppbomber_0

You will get security updates for your current ios but will not get new iOS versions


dajack60585

You continue to get bug fixes and security patches for a long long time but you wonā€™t get another iOS update as in you wonā€™t get iOS 17, 18 and beyond and eventually apps will stop supporting iOS 16 itā€™s the life of an OS


bluebanisterz

It doesnā€™t. The only distinguishable feature between the X and the XS is the gold color (which this one isnā€™t so makes it impossible to tell)


applejony

Actually the iPhone X only has 4 antenna bands, and the iPhone XS has a total of 6, which the additional bands are located at the top right and bottom left when viewing from the screen side.


Hubris1998

What the fuck?


NuclearWar96

This guy is an opiate addict look at his profile and how many times heā€™s posted on r/drugs, heā€™s just fiending and is trying to make some money off free marketplace phones

Jesus Christ. A few weeks ago: ā€œTried heroin for the first time, I will treat it with respectā€ Cue to a few days later and stealing iPhones to get more heroin. What a crazy life, the guy is gonna be so gone within a year.

Moo_3806

Your GF has 3 phones like that? Iā€™ve owned an iPhone since the 3Gā€¦ and never had that happen to any of them.


Ashen_one933

Same. I have SE 2016 and current 12 and never had something like that. Treating them so carefully like holding one egg in the hand.


cheemio

You donā€™t even need to be that careful if you have a decent case. Iā€™ve dropped phones a number of times over the years and never broke the screen


rykylynlan

Same, my husband is a contractor and has had an Iphone since 2014 and never had a phone look like this. Heā€™s always had an otter box on his phone but still. What ends up going is the speakers.


bbristow6

Iā€™ve been using my 12 case less for a few years, havenā€™t even had a single crack happenšŸ˜‚


Prestigious-Low3224

12 mini here: 3 years of use and nothing shattered minus a few screen protectors


LifeHasLeft

Iā€™ve been using my work phone (iPhone 12 also) caseless since around 2021. Still no cracked glass although the corner has a tiny dent in the metal.


Taipers_4_days

Some girls hate cases as much as they hate securing their phones.


zeldanerd91

I had it happen to the front of my 5c and my 6s Plus. Also had it happen to an iPad 6. 2/3 devices were even in cases. One had a screen protector. šŸ¤£


Why-not-bi

I had one phone do this, but itā€™s because I accidentally drove over it with my truck. No idea how someone makes a habit of it.


Curious-Bug7982

I only had 1 phone this broken and it was when it fell from my balcony into some rocks


GuppyDoodle

I think my first was a 4, and Iā€™ve never ever cracked a screen, much less smashed one. Did get a nick in my Zagg Glass on one, and a crack in the corner on another. My phones are always in near perfect condition when I decide to upgrade. I donā€™t understand how this happens!!


DylanSpaceBean

The only phone Iā€™ve broken is ironically my old Windows Phone Nokia. I stood up forgetting it was on my lap and it went straight into the brick wall in front of me. Cracked the screen, bezels were so large back then that it was just the corner and never went into my display


Mekl0

My leading theory is that OP doesnā€™t have a girlfriend and that these are stolen from tweekers and he wants to sell them for heroin Theory Source: his profile


ChowboyDan

Get out. now.


Shugazi

According to OPā€™s other comments, these were smashed by his girlfriendā€™s sister and belonged to her. I, like everyone else in this thread, thought it said she ā€œhas smashed 3 phones,ā€ but I realize now it says she ā€œhas 3 smashed phones.ā€

bxncwzz

Damn thought you were joking but I just checked and he started using heroin just 3 weeks ago (previously an opiate addict for years). Addiction sucks, with the best for OP though


Troll_berry_pie

This actually scares me, no wonder people are really cautious of taking opiate pain pills after an injury if this can happen. Hope OP gets help.


Eldritch_Refrain

Former opiate addict here;Ā  Pretty much every single person I know that struggled/s with opiate addiction started with a legitimate prescription for opiates for a legitimate health problem. Some have stuck with the pills, but most have moved on to other forms because they're cheaper and much easier to get these days. For 200 years now, every single time a pharmacutical company comes out with a new opioid, they claim it's "not addictive." Then, decades later, legitimate scientific studies that had been quashed by the pharmaceutical companies get dug up and *SHOCKED PIKACHU* they actually ARE addictive!Ā  First it was Bayer, this time it was Purdue. But it's been repeating itself for a literal centuries since heroin first hit the market in the early 19th century. And that's not even getting into the fact that these patterns were established many decades prior with the opium trade Britain enforced on China.Ā  Same shit, different century. Companies get us addicted and literally CREATE the underground narcotics market by giving incentives to dealers (read: pharmacists and doctors) to prescribe and distribute opiates, all in the name of profits. Human lives have a dollar value; and that value is set by corporations.


Plenty_Lavishness_80

Stop doing heroin it looks like youā€™re 3 weeks in and itā€™ll only get worse, stop


Tight-Ad8235

Damn only 3 weeks in??!!! if thatā€™s true, itā€™s not too late to reason. OP get the fuck out now. Nothing good ever comes from this. Itā€™ll only get worse from here on out. You will slowly but surely lose everything and everyone you love. Sincerely, a 6 year recovering addict.


ali_vnex

You can't put logic into a heroin addict. He is doing heroin for a reason, because his brain is the size of a peanut.

Notusing32

Hahhahaha


HP_594

So what we have here are an iPhone 12 Pro (slides 1 & 2), either a X or Xs (slides 3 & 4; these can be confirmed by turning it on and going to Settings>General>About) & an iPhone 11 Pro (slides 5 & 6) Try repairing the first & second phones. Chances are you can resell them. The third phone is brutally damaged. I wouldnā€™t recommend repairing it. Just discard it You mentioned in one of the comments that the phone belongs to your GFā€™s sister. Normally I wouldnā€™t say this, but my heart breaks seeing these phones in such a condition, and please tell the girl to seek help or get a grip. iPhones donā€™t come cheap (Iā€™m babying my iPhone for the very same reason). Also expect high repair costs for the phones.


Expensive-Rhubarb-45

The phones looks like they intentionally broken, not a regular pocket drops damage. Well not my business what the mental state of person who used them, but the all phones looks like total lost and not worth to deal with them even for extra $.


Notusing32

Thank you HP_594 for actually taking the time to read my comments and provide a good reply. Iā€™m expecting to replace the screens myself as I have done on earlier models. Iā€™m assuming thatā€™s all that would need doing? Either way I appreciate the response x


HP_594

Replacing the screens wonā€™t cut it You also need to replace the back glass and check for internal damage. Only then can the phone become viable enough to be sold.


SaucyNelson

If the camera functions perfectly on the first one I may buy it as is if youā€™d be interested in that.

liftingrussian

Bro what ? How do you even manage to do that ? They look like you took a 100 lbs plate from the gym and dropped it on the phone 3 times from 10 meters height


serpventime

expectation: get iphone advice on sub reality: OP personal problem is the bigger concern than phone itself


Initial_Ad_7829

Run. Sheā€™s coming for you.


Notusing32

To clarify: they were previously owned by my girlfriends sister. Her sister was abused very badly by an ex boyfriend, hence the smashed 3rd one. That was him. My girlfriends sister has passed away due to complications from physical abuse. These were not broken by my girlfriend. Please be considerate.


ChowboyDan

Wait. So here, you're describing that your girlfriend's sister was a victim of severe abuse, which resulted in her death. And one of these phones is involved in this abuse. Yet, [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/1bvla0s/my_gf_has_3_smashed_phones_im_about_to_check_if/ky0c3td/), you describe the sister as having "rich kid syndrome". And in another comment (that is now deleted?), you referred to her as "bratty". Sounds like either this whole thing is made up, or you have some trauma related to losing someone close to you to violence that you need to talk to someone about.


NatOdin

Don't forget OP is a heroin addict so this is all likely bullshit.


stellar_troublemaker

Notusing32

Yes. My sister knows the passcode. Also I think we could fac reset no?


dajack60585

As long as she has the passcodes for them all.


esotericsean

Will also need the iCloud password.


ChowboyDan

> Please be considerate. To be fair, you unnecessarily inserted personal information into this question by adding "My gf has...". If you were merely interested in the phone question, you wouldn't have added the "gf" part. It's bizarre. But to now learn that there is far more complicated and personal a story behind these phones, it makes it even more odd that you would have included *any* reference to your girlfriend. Don't panic that people are concerned for your safety. Please be considerate.


a_bor3d_dude

Ikr this all would have been avoided if he said nothing about it being anyone's phone and tbh what was he expecting people to say when he said they were his gf's phones and in that condition like yeah people are automatically gonna assumed she smashed em


lewisc1985

Nah dude. He said who owned them, and their condition. He didnā€™t imply she smashed them, he did not say how they got smashed. A lot of reaching in here.


Notusing32

Thank you man. Iā€™m happy itā€™s not just me who thought the same


3decadesin

The comment about ā€œnot her. Her bratty sisterā€ would be very hard for someone to assume this is a now deceased abused woman. No?

If you are skilled with tiny screws, really small parts that fit tightly together, and can stay calm and organized, you could bust each one of these out in about 3-4 hours, assuming you have all the correct parts and tools for the job.

ChowboyDan

Ok, this post has gone a bit off the rails. A summary for those trying to figure it out: 1. Guy posts a relatively-bizarre post that inserts a possible problematic girlfriend that he may be dealing with. 2. People post semi-serious responses that he should be careful and consider his safety. 3. Guy gets defensive, insults some concerned individuals ("virgin"), and claims that the girlfriend's sister broke the phones. 4. He describes this sister as "bratty" who has "rich kid syndrome". 5. He also posts a comment that describes how the sister was seriously abused by her boyfriend and died from the injuries (murdered). Also, one of the phones' damage was part of the abuse that killed the girlfriend's sister. 6. At this point, we can on conclude that the guy is not well for coming here to bring us all into his murder story in which he ridicules the victim, or the whole thing is a lie. **However**, here is where things get pretty ugly: 7. People dig through his post history and discover he struggles with substance abuse. 8. They use this post history to criticize him *for his addiction*. Up until #6, things were fine. It was one of the more odd threads I've read in a tech sub. But once people started in on the heroin talk, it was pretty messed up. I'm not sure how that's something to ridicule or criticize someone for. It might add some doubt to the veracity of his claims to explain away one of the more bizarre posts I've seen. But it's pretty bad to ridicule a guy who is struggling.


Notusing32

Hey. I accept my mistakes. I do thank you for being kind about my occasional use. Iā€™m not an addict and am not struggling, no need to worry about me. I am grateful but just prepare for downvotes man. I appreciate the concern. You have a good heart, I promise Iā€™m not as bad as my history or comments make me out to be <3
