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.
