Tech and business bros in a bubble. REUTERS/Albert Gea <br><br>For the last year, the tech industry has been fretting about a bubble.

Almost half the voters in the United States supported Trump on Tuesday. In San Francisco, one in 10 votes was cast for Trump. In Santa Clara county, home to a lot of  giant tech companies, one in five votes went to Trump. <br><br>As a Silicon Valley reporter, I personally spent over a month trying to find someone who would speak about supporting Trump. The one senior software engineer at a big tech company I did find refused to be identified publicly. He had already faced contempt and shunning after telling his teammates at work.  <br><br>Most of the time when I asked a venture capitalist or a tech CEO if they knew anyone who was for the Republican Presidential nominee, I was met with laughter or a quick dismissal: "Oh no, I don't know anyone who would support him." <br><br>Many Silicon Valley leaders tried to stop a Trump presidency, and most thought it had worked.<br><br>The push started in the early fall when more than 140 members of the tech elite signed a memo on how Trump would be a disaster for innovation. Several others, including LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman and Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz, mobilized voting campaigns or donated millions. It seemed like a foregone conclusion Hillary Clinton would win, until it wasn't. <br><br>Silicon Valley awoke to a world that hadn't downloaded its message. <br><br>A scene from a Silicon Valley Fashion Week in 2014. Business Insider<br><br>"The biggest people in technology, media, and finance were all trying to figure out how to stop Donald Trump and he still won," Kik CEO Ted Livingston told Recode right after the results. They "have been saying to the public, ‘No, no! You don't get it!' Yesterday, the public turned around and said to them, ‘No, you don't get it.'

The Refurbished iPhone Price Factor

While you will certainly want to keep the notion of getting a good price when shopping for a refurbished iPhone in the back of your mind as you shop, do not assume that a great price is the only thing you need to consider. Extraordinary prices are certainly enticing when a consumer is checking out all of the options available, but all-time low prices are not necessarily an indication of quality in every instance. Other things in addition to the price factor need to be considered like the condition of the iPhone, whether or not there is any visible damage on the iPhone, whether or not the Phone is blacklisted, and whether or not the seller providing the refurbished iPhone has a reasonable return policy.

Checking the Condition of the Refurbished iPhone

The best way to ensure one is getting a iPhone in good condition is identified in the act of thoroughly examining the phone for any signs of damage and wear or to ask the seller to describe and examine the exterior of the iPhone for scratches, gouges, or clearly identifiable areas of damage. Once the exterior of the refurbished iPhone has been thoroughly assessed, the consumer will want to check out whether or not the iPhone has been damaged through water exposure.

It doesn't matter what type of iPhone a consumer is thinking about buying: a 4gb refurbished iPhone, an 8gb refurbished iPhone or a 16gb iPhone all have built in moisture detectors which will immediately reveal if the phone is water damaged. Of course, you can always question the seller and ask if the item has had water damage in the past, but it is far safer to look into whether or not the refurbished iPhone has been damaged by water physically. Checking for water damage is simple; when looking to buy a refurbished iPhone, you can gently lift the battery out of the iPhone to see if there is a tiny, white colored dot beneath the area where the battery is placed. When checking beneath the refurbished iPhone for the moisture indicator, if the consumer discovers a small, red colored dot or no dot at all, this is a clear indication that something is amiss and that the iPhone has been exposed to moisture.

Ensuring the Refurbished iPhones are Not Blacklisted

When a consumer is shopping for an Apple iPhone 4gb, 8gb, or 16gb, if the iPhone has been locked or blacklisted, it really does not matter whether the phone lacks any water damage or any exterior damage. When a refurbished iPhone is blacklisted, it will fail to work completely. An electronic serial number, otherwise referred to as an ESN, that is in the clear is needed too, or, once again the iPhone will not work. If you loved this short article and you would certainly like to obtain more info regarding Bubble Shooter pet kindly visit our own web site. Stolen iPhones are blacklisted and cannot be activated.

If an iPhone is considered locked, this limits the carrier that the buyer of the refurbished iPhone can work with. It is important when one buys a refurbished iPhone that he or she is fully aware if it has a locked status. A locked AT&T iPhone will not work with T-Mobile, even though it is on the GSM network.

Seek Out a Reasonable Return Policy

If you are shopping for a refurbished iPhone, look for a dealer or distributor that supplies a return policy. This is vital whether you are buying a refurbished iPhone in person from a dealer and especially if you are ordering an iPhone from an online seller. Once the item is received, it should be examined, assessed for damage, and tested. It is imperative that the consumer ensure that he or she understands all of the regulations presented in a refurbished iPhone seller's return policy.
