How we test every Apple device: the 80-point inspection
Every device that reaches our Melbourne facility goes through an automated 80-point Phonecheck inspection before it is approved for sale. Phonecheck is an independent, industry-standard diagnostic platform, which means the result is a machine-verified record. Read our Phonecheck certification guide to learn how robotic testing removes human error.
| Verification area | Diagnostic check steps | Direct buyer benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Network auditing | AMTA national register database IMEI check | Confirms the device is clear, unblocked, and not reported lost or stolen |
| Power integrity | Dynamic charge cycling and power draw analysis | Confirms the battery meets the minimum for its condition grade |
| Display panel | Colour balance, True Tone sensor, digitiser mapping | Confirms smooth touch response across the full screen area |
| Optics and biometrics | Camera focus checks, Face ID and Touch ID sensor verification | Confirms photo and video capture and secure biometric unlocking |
Condition grades and battery health
We grade on cosmetic condition, from Good through Excellent, Ex-Demo and Exceptional to New. Every grade passes the same 80-point functional inspection, so the grade affects how the device looks and what battery minimum it carries, never whether it works. Our condition grades page sets out each tier in full, including battery and warranty.
Your protection: warranty, returns and consumer rights
Every OzMobiles purchase comes with a guarantee covering hardware faults, a 30-day risk-free return window, and support from our team in Melbourne.
Separately from that, you have rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded. Goods must be of acceptable quality, match their description, and be fit for purpose. Depending on the device and the price you paid, those guarantees can last longer than our warranty. Ours is in addition to those rights, not instead of them, and if you ever think a device has not met them, tell us and we will work it out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do condition grades work?
We grade on cosmetic condition, from Good through Excellent, Ex-Demo and Exceptional to New. Every grade passes the same 80-point functional inspection, so the grade affects how the device looks and what battery minimum it carries, never whether it works. Our condition grades guide sets out each tier in full, including battery standards and warranty cover.
What battery health standards do refurbished Apple devices meet?
Every device carries a guaranteed minimum battery health, tested under dynamic load at our Melbourne facility, with the exact percentage range listed on its product page. Higher condition grades carry a higher minimum threshold. If you would prefer a brand-new battery, you can add our fresh battery installation service at checkout.
How does OzMobiles verify that pre-owned Apple devices are authentic?
Every device goes through an automated 80-point Phonecheck inspection at our Melbourne facility. Phonecheck is an independent diagnostic platform, so the result is machine-verified rather than a reseller's opinion. We also check every IMEI against the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association register to confirm the device is clear, unblocked, and not reported lost or stolen.
What does the OzMobiles Guarantee cover?
Our guarantee covers component failures, manufacturing defects and hardware performance issues, handled directly by our support team in Melbourne. It sits alongside your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, which apply separately and cannot be excluded.
Are all Apple devices sourced within Australia?
Yes. All OzMobiles inventory is Aussie Sourced, meaning every device was originally sold into the Australian market. This ensures complete compatibility with local carrier network bands, VoLTE emergency calls, and local service support.
Is it safe to buy a refurbished Apple device?
It depends on who you buy from. An unverified marketplace listing gives you a stranger's description and minimal recourse. At OzMobiles, we own the stock, hold it in Melbourne, test every device via Phonecheck diagnostics, audit the IMEI, and back every order with a guarantee, 30-day returns, and Australian-based customer support.
What is the difference between refurbished, pre-owned and used?
Used generally means sold as-is without formal testing or warranty. Pre-owned indicates a previous owner with basic operational checks. Refurbished, by our standard, means a device has undergone a documented 80-point inspection, cosmetic grading, battery auditing, and comes backed by a complete hardware guarantee.
What happens if something goes wrong with my device?
Contact our Melbourne support team immediately. You can return the device within 30 days for any reason. Beyond that window, hardware faults are covered by the OzMobiles Guarantee, where we will repair or replace your device promptly. Your statutory rights under Australian Consumer Law continue to apply separately.
