01 - why check
Why Check When Buying
Every unchecked device is a risk of losing money or facing legal issues
iCloud Lock - buying a brick
A device with Find My enabled requires Apple ID password after reset. Without it, the phone won't activate. Buy a locked one - lose your money, it's unsellable. Check What Checks before buying.
Blacklist - legal problems
A blacklisted device is reported lost or stolen. Buying and reselling creates legal risks. Check Blacklist for every device.
Chimaera - won't activate
Chimaera Device Policy - Apple's internal lock. Device without a valid sale record: stolen from production, warehouse, or store. Won't activate or update. Don't buy.
Refurbished - lower price
A refurbished device sold as new is a classic scam. Refurbished and Demo cost less. GSX report reveals the real status. Details - Refurbished.
Carrier Lock - worth less
A carrier-locked device only works with one SIM card. Unlocked phones are worth more. If the seller passes off a locked phone as unlocked, you'll overpay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I check a batch of devices at once?
Yes. Send a list of IMEIs or serial numbers to the bot - get reports for the entire batch. For automation, use the API with batch request support.
What if a purchased device has iCloud Lock?
A device with iCloud Lock won't activate without the previous owner's password. Check before buying. If already purchased, try contacting the seller for unlinking. The iSpy Bot report can be used as evidence in a dispute.
Are there API request limits?
Limits depend on the plan. Ultimate account covers the needs of large resellers. Specific numbers and terms on the >> View Pricing.
How does GSX report help with valuation?
GSX shows: country of sale, repair and replacement history, Refurbished/Demo status, Chimaera, remaining warranty. All directly affect the real device value. Buying without GSX is buying blind.
Can the report be used as evidence for returns?
Yes. The iSpy Bot report captures device status at the time of check. If the seller concealed a lock, Blacklist status, or refurbishment, the report confirms the hidden defect.
