The seller hands it over. You run 22 checks right there — hardware, locks, water damage — and get a verdict before you pay.
Optional paid reports — the hardware check itself is always free.
Skip the test — buy direct. Enter the IMEI (dial *#06#), pay, get it in minutes.
One warning about verdicts from a free test: carrier-lock shows only if set in Settings today. Proof beyond that needs the IMEI report — starts at RM5 for blacklist and stolen records.
Everything runs in Safari on the phone being sold. Nothing is installed.
Battery health is self-reported from Settings — PeelCheck can't read it directly in iOS Safari; we show whatever the Settings page says and you record it.
Vibration can't be fired by iOS Safari itself (test via a ringtone preview). We say so in the app instead of faking it.
If the seller refuses the test, that answers your question — walk away.
No. Hardware results stay on the phone. Only the optional IMEI report sends the IMEI to a checking service.
Built for used iPhones — Android diagnostics differ enough that mixing them would weaken both.
Genuine seller has nothing to hide. Refusal is its own red flag.
No. A telco-contract iPhone can get blacklisted later when unpaid. The IMEI report catches current status; ask for proof any contract ended.
