If you open said file, your message app will become permanently frozen that neither a reset or return to factory settings will not unfreeze. Every iPhone sporting iOS 10.2.1 and lower is in danger.

Judge has decided that refurbished item may contain used parts (well, duh) which decrease the item’s resell value.
