For Sale: iPhone 8 Plus 256GB – Factory Unlocked, Excellent Condition, Fully Loaded with EXTRA Accessories!

Are you searching for a dependable, high-quality iPhone at a budget-friendly price? Look no further! I’m selling my iPhone 8 Plus 256GB, originally purchased directly from Apple as a factory-unlocked device, meaning it works flawlessly with any carrier worldwide.

This is the A1897 GSM model (Apple part number MQ8P2VC/A).

This phone is in excellent condition—far superior to other listings out there—and has been well-maintained throughout its life.

An incredible deal for a fully functional iPhone with a replaced battery and all the extras included!

Condition & Features:

• Remarkable Shape: Unlike many iPhone 8 Plus units sold for parts or in rough condition, mine is a gem. It has only a few minor scratches and a tiny crack at the top-left corner of the back glass—barely noticeable and doesn’t impact functionality at all. The front screen is in excellent shape. It's also got a GLASS screen protector with WHITE bezels that keep it looking sleek and modern!

• Apple-Replaced Battery: Halfway through its life, Apple professionally replaced the battery, so it's continued to perform like a newer phone. 72% maximum charge. Despite the "Significantly Degraded Performance" warning, I used this phone day-to-day until very recently and can confirm it will last a full day on moderate usage!

• Fully Functional: Everything works perfectly—dual cameras, speakers, buttons, touchscreen, Touch ID, you name it. Powered by the A11 Bionic chip, it delivers smooth performance for daily use and even some light gaming.

• Factory Unlocked: Bought straight from Apple, this iPhone is UNLOCKED for any carrier in Canada or beyond. It's been used in Canada with Koodo, Telus and Rogers, and in the United States with T-Mobile, Mint, AT&T and Visible (Verizon). This iPhone has travelled with me east to west in America. Whether it's using data straight on the phone or for Wi-Fi tethering, it's never failed to serve my travel needs. 8 years of ultimate flexibility later, it's YOURS!

What’s It Still Good For?

The iPhone 8 Plus is still a powerhouse in 2025, offering fantastic value for a variety of users. Here’s why it’s worth snapping up:

• Photography & Video: With dual 12MP rear cameras and Portrait Mode, it takes stunning photos and crisp videos. Perfect for casual photographers, social media enthusiasts, or anyone who loves capturing memories.

• Everyday Use: The massive 256GB storage means you can store thousands of photos, videos, apps, and files without a hitch. It runs iOS smoothly, handling all your go-to apps—think browsing, streaming, email, and social media—with ease.

• Backup or Travel Phone: Need a reliable secondary device for work, travel, or emergencies? The 5.5-inch Retina HD display and long-lasting battery make this a top pick.

• Great for Kids or Seniors: Its straightforward interface, large screen, and sturdy build make it ideal for younger users or older adults who want a simple, dependable phone without the bells and whistles of newer models.

• Classic Design: As one of the last iPhones with a physical home button and Touch ID, it’s a fan favourite for those who prefer this setup over Face ID. It’s retro charm with modern functionality!

What’s Included:

• Original Box: Comes in its ORIGINAL authentic Apple packaging with matching serial and IMEI!

• New Apple USB-Lightning Cable: New cable for charging and syncing, comes with USB charger.

• Unused OEM Apple EarPods: Sealed and ready to use—great for music, calls, or podcasts. Apple has yet to make earbuds that fit in my ears! 😂 I never use EarPods or AirPods, so if you do, they're yours!

• RUGGED Case: Comes with a rugged deep-blue case with textured sides for extra grip and protection.

• GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR: The BEST and most bulletproof kind of screen protector, it touches up the Space Gray aesthetic with white bezels. You can see how it's been used but it's got NO cracks and protects the phone like day one!

Why This iPhone Stands Out:

I’ve seen other iPhone 8 Plus listings—like those on eBay sold for parts (e.g., cracked screens or broken components)—and mine is in a league of its own. It’s fully functional, in much better condition, and comes with everything you need to start using it right away. At $220 CAD, you’re getting a 256GB iPhone with a fresh battery and premium accessories—a deal that’s tough to beat!

Don’t let this pass you by! This iPhone 8 Plus is perfect for anyone seeking a reliable, affordable smartphone that still performs like a champ. Reach out today to arrange pickup or shipping—I’m happy to answer any questions!
