How It Works

1. eBay: Searches for listings mentioning specific iOS versions in titles
2. Swappa: Visits individual listings and checks seller descriptions only (not buyer Q&A comments)
3. Validation: Filters out impossible combinations (e.g., old devices claiming new iOS)
4. Output: Groups results by device model, sorted by price
