Grading guide
Every device is graded on two axes — cosmetic condition and minimum battery health — then individually flagged for any fault. You're buying sight-unseen, so this is the only thing that matters. We publish it in full.
No visible wear; screen and body pristine. Indistinguishable from new under normal inspection. Fully functional.
Very light signs of use; faint micro-scratches only visible at an angle. No dents, no screen blemishes. Fully functional.
Visible scratches and/or minor scuffs on body; screen may have light marks not affecting display. No cracks. Fully functional.
Heavier wear: noticeable scratches, scuffs, possible minor dents. Screen fully working but may show marks. Fully functional.
A flag is a specific fault. Flagged units are sold separately at a discount and clearly marked — never blended into a cosmetic grade.
- Screen discolouration, burn-in or shadowing
- Swollen or degraded battery cell
- Failed Face ID / fingerprint sensor
- Cracked glass or housing (front or back)
- iCloud / FRP lock or blacklisted IMEI
- Non-original / aftermarket display or part
The 12-point functional test
Every unit, regardless of grade, passes all twelve before it ships.
