Condition guide
How we grade every device that comes in, in plain English.
| Condition | What it means |
|---|---|
| Flawless | No scratches or scuffs anywhere. Screen and body look like new. Fully working, no cracks. |
| Good | Light, minor scratches or scuffs from normal use, none deep. No cracks or dents. Fully working. |
| Fair | Heavier scratches, scuffs, or a small dent, but no cracks in the glass or screen. Fully working. |
| Cracked screen | Cracked or chipped screen or back glass, but it still powers on and the touchscreen works. |
| Broken | Powers on but has a fault, a bad display, or a part not working (camera, buttons, Face ID). |
| Won't power on | Won't turn on or hold a charge. We still buy it for parts. |
At inspection
Common iPhone 14 issues we check at inspection
- Screen burn-in on OLED display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on OLED panels after extended use. The Super Retina XDR OLED is susceptible to this over time.
- Battery degradation below 80% health. Original battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use. The 3279mAh battery is a standard component that degrades with normal usage.
- Cosmetic damage to Ceramic Shield front glass. Scratches or micro-abrasions on the Ceramic Shield front glass, despite its durability claims, from everyday pocket carry or drops.
- Aluminum frame dents or scratches. The aluminum frame is prone to dents and scratches, especially on the edges, from accidental drops.
- Face ID malfunctions. The TrueDepth camera system for Face ID can become faulty due to drops or internal component failure.
- Charging port issues. Lint accumulation or wear on the Lightning port can lead to intermittent charging or data transfer problems.
Real cash vs a carrier trade-in

- Real cash by PayPal, Zelle, Venmo or check
- Yours to spend anywhere, no strings
- We beat any competitor’s written quote by $2
- Spread over 24 to 36 monthly bill credits
- Only if you buy a new phone and stay on plan
- Leave early and the remaining credit disappears
