For resellers, MVNOs, IT departments, and business buyers, buying wholesale iPhones is a great way to get the best smartphone technology at the best prices, maximize ROI, and grow their businesses quickly. If you want to start a business selling phones, knowing how to find wholesale iPhones can make the difference between making money and losing it.

This guide goes through the process step by step, pointing out what to look for, what to avoid, and how TodaysCloseout makes sure you always have high-quality iPhones inventory that keeps you competitive.

Why Should You Buy iPhones in Bulk?

• Higher Margins: Being able to buy in bulk at a lower price increases profits.
• Steady Inventory: Keeps high-demand SKUs from running out of stock.
• Market Trust: iPhones always sell for a good price and people always want them.
• Device Uniformity: Great for IT teams that need hardware that is the same across the board.

To get these benefits, you need to buy from the right vendor, one that has clear grading, reliable stock, and good customer service after the sale.

Step 1: Figure Out What Your Business Needs

Before buying iPhones in bulk, make sure you know what you need:

• Who are you selling to? Individuals, refurbishers, or businesses?
• Volume Needs: Are you buying in small amounts or by the pallet?
• Device Preferences: What kinds of iPhones do your customers like?
• Condition Grades: Do you want A+ condition, C-stock, or a mix of both?

We specialize in carrier-unlocked iPhones at TodaysCloseout. They are in A+ condition and have very low RMA rates (only 0.1%). This makes sure that our clients get the quality they need in large amounts.

Step 2: Pick the Right Wholesale Partner

Not all suppliers are the same. When picking a wholesale partner, put the following first:

• Verified Business Supplier: Don't shop at shady marketplaces; look for established B2B distributors.
• Device Testing Protocols: Every iPhone should go through strict quality checks.
• Warranty Coverage: A warranty, like the 6-month one from TodaysCloseout, protects your money.
• Shipping Speed: Your business will keep going if your logistics are fast and reliable.

TodaysCloseout checks all the boxes: it offers white-glove service, quick delivery, and the ability to ship worldwide, which thousands of business buyers trust.

Step 3: Learn About the Standards for Grading iPhones

The iPhone's appearance and how well it works affect its resale value. Here is a breakdown:

• A+ Condition: Like new, works perfectly, and shows little signs of use.
• B Condition: Some wear and tear, small scratches, and fully functional.
• C Condition: More wear and tear, cosmetic flaws, but still works.
• R2/Ready for Resale: Usually meets standards for refurbishing for resale or use.

TodaysCloseout's strict grading makes sure that everything is the same. We don't just say "A+"—we show you what it means with clear testing and quality control.

Step 4: Make Sure the Devices Are Carrier-Unlocked

Resellers and business buyers need to unlock their phones. An iPhone that isn't locked:

• Works with all GSM networks around the world, including AT&T, T-Mobile, and other international carriers.
• Sells faster because it works with more networks.
• Keeps things simple with locked carrier policies.

TodaysCloseout only sells carrier-unlocked iPhones that have passed GSMA checks for activation lock and blacklist status.

Step 5: Check That the Supply Chain Is Open and Honest

Talk to your wholesale partner:

• Where do the devices come from? (e.g., trade-ins, corporate renewals, excess stock)
• Are IMEIs checked by GSMA?
• Can you trace the origin of the device?

Our stock has been thoroughly checked, cleaned, and is ready for business. We have clear sourcing and traceable IMEIs, which keep our clients safe from problems later on.

Step 6: Start Small and Then Grow

When you buy iPhones from a new wholesale store:

• Make a test order for 10 to 50 units.
• Check that the quality is always the same.
• Check how long it takes for support to respond and how long it takes for returns to get back.
• Check the resale value and speed.

TodaysCloseout is happy to take small orders at first and then grow with your business.
