What’s the Condition of your Phone?

Assessing the condition of your iPhone is a crucial step in trading in your device. To earn an accurate estimate for the worth of your iPhone, make sure you follow some guidelines for evaluating your phone’s condition:

• Check the performance level of the main functions, such as the camera, accelerometer, and charge port all working as expected
• Evaluate the iPhone for water damage
• Determine the cosmetic condition of the phone by examining the amount of scratches, dead pixels, dents, and cracks on the device
