iPhone Alerts: Marketplace Search Rules for Models, Storage, and Condition
The search problem
iPhone alerts are only useful when the search separates phones from accessories. Use model and storage phrases such as iphone 15 pro 256, iphone 14 unlocked, or iphone 13 pro max, then exclude case, screen protector, box only, icloud locked, and repair unless those are part of the hunt.
A practical alert setup
For iPhone alerts, split the search by model, storage, lock status, and condition. An iPhone 15 Pro Max search should not share the same rules as a broad iPhone market watch. Add exclusions for cases, screen protectors, box-only posts, iCloud locked devices, and repair listings once they appear in your matches. Use mobile push only for the model and price range you would act on quickly.
