So Verizon has a promotion where they give you 800 dollars off a new iPhone with a trade in of "any condition." Well, turns out it's only 100-200 for the phone and the rest of that $ is for if you sign up for a new line, so that money is fake but that doesn't surprise or upset me. Whatever, let's do this:
Brought them a phone my kids found in a storm drain that has a shattered screen and doesn't power on. Hard no.
Brought them an undamaged iPhone 5 that doesn't power on. They say it has to power on.
Brought them a totally-fine iPhone 6 that would only show the battery charging full-screen icon because it just can't hold a charge anymore. They say unless they can navigate to Find My iPhone and verify that it's turned off they can't take it.
So, in summary, "any condition" means a fully functioning phone that has a healthy battery that powers on, lets you log in and lets you navigate the settings menu. That does not sound like any condition; that sounds like one pretty specific condition to me: a completely usable phone.
