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 SE (2022) issues we check at inspection

Screen scratches or cracks. The glass front and back are susceptible to scratches and cracks from drops or everyday use. Sellers often list 'cracked screen' or 'scratched display'.
Battery health below 80%. As a 2022 device, many units will have experienced significant battery degradation, with maximum capacity falling below the optimal 80% threshold.
Cosmetic damage to aluminum frame. The aluminum frame can show dents, scuffs, and scratches, especially around the edges, due to drops or pocket wear.
Face ID / Touch ID malfunctions. While the SE (2022) uses Touch ID (fingerprint sensor), issues with the sensor's responsiveness or failure to register can occur.
Charging port issues. Lint or debris accumulation in the Lightning port, or wear and tear, can lead to intermittent charging or failure to charge.
Speaker or microphone defects. Issues with earpiece speaker clarity, loudness, or microphone not picking up sound during calls or recordings.
