Grade Difference: Excellent vs Good
Excellent Grade devices appear virtually like new with only minimal wear barely noticeable to the naked eye. The display may show light, fine scratches requiring angled inspection with bright light to detect. The device edges remain flawless except for potentially light scratching around the power port. The back plate may display light scratching including around the Apple logo.
Good Grade devices are fully functional with more visible cosmetic wear including noticeable scratches on the body and possible minor paint chips or hairline cracks. Displays may exhibit uneven light diffusion or subtle blemishes but contain no cracks or dead pixels, though slight surface scratching from moderate use may be present.
iOS Operating System: Pros and Cons
Pros: iOS delivers exceptional security with comprehensive encryption and privacy controls, ensuring your data remains protected. Regular software updates reach the vast majority of users within months, keeping your device current with latest features and security patches. Seamless integration across Apple's ecosystem allows effortless synchronisation between iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other Apple devices. Consistent performance and stability result from optimised hardware‑software integration.
Cons: iOS operates as a closed ecosystem with limited customisation compared to alternative platforms, restricting home screen layouts and default app choices. Apple's App Store review process, whilst ensuring quality, restricts app distribution compared to open‑market alternatives. Device costs sit at premium market levels, reflecting Apple's positioning.
