| 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. |
