OUR EXPERTISE

How we inspect your iPhone

Every iPhone that arrives at our Paddington bench goes through a 9-point inspection: serial-number lookup against Apple's GSX-style flags, Face ID / Touch ID enrolment check, battery Maximum Capacity reading from iOS Settings, full-screen pixel sweep for dead spots, body and frame inspection under raking light, camera sample shot, speaker and microphone loopback, charging-port continuity, and a final iCloud-removal verification. The whole process takes about eight minutes per device. We follow the same inspection grade Apple uses for certified pre-owned iPhones, so you can be confident the offer we make is the offer you'll be paid.

SUSTAINABLY HANDLED

Every device we buy stays out of landfill.

Devices we can't refurbish are stripped down by certified Australian e-waste recyclers — including our Brisbane partners. Your old iPhone either gets a second life with a new owner or gives up its rare-earth components to help build the next generation. Either way, it doesn't end up buried.
