How We Grade and Value Your iPhone
Your iPhone’s trade-in value isn’t guesswork; it’s professionally appraised based on:
Body condition
any scratches, dents, or marks
Storage capacity
bigger storage = more cash
Battery health
stronger battery = higher value
Functionality
cameras, buttons, display, and software
| Accurate Condition = Accurate Price | |
| Mint | Looks flawless & works like brand new. |
| Good | Light signs of use, barely noticeable at arm’s length. Fully functional. |
| Fair | Moderate scratches or minor dings, but it works perfectly. |
| Partially Damaged | Broken but functional: cracked screens, damaged back glass, or minor issues. |
| Faulty/Dead | Major issues or won’t power on. Still valuable for parts or recycling. |
