Direct answer: Wholesale iPhone grades describe cosmetic condition, but Grade A, B, and C are not universal standards. Buyers should request the supplier’s written definitions, tolerances, representative images, and explanation of how the lot was graded.
What should a grading guide cover?
- Screen scratches, chips, cracks, and display condition.
- Housing wear, dents, bends, discoloration, and finish.
- Camera lens condition and visible damage.
- Buttons, ports, back glass, and frame condition.
- Whether cosmetic grade is separate from functional condition.
How should buyers compare grades?
- Compare measurable definitions, not grade names. Ask whether every unit is graded individually or the lot is represented by a distribution or sample.
What should be documented?
- The invoice or lot description should state the grade, any allowed defects, and whether exceptions are included.
