Quality Control Questions

Frequently asked questions

Understand how people, equipment, tools and process work together to reduce bulk-purchasing uncertainty.

What does iPhonetree check before shipment?

Do you publish the full internal QC SOP?

No. The website provides a public QC summary. Internal procedures and batch-specific notes are confirmed through the sales team where relevant.

Is cosmetic grading the same as functional testing?

No. Cosmetic grading describes appearance, while functional QC verifies key device functions and batch-specific conditions.

Do you use automated phone inspection?

Are all devices checked in exactly the same way?

The applicable QC scope can vary by category, model, batch and agreed buyer requirements. Final details should be confirmed with the sales team.
