What are the advantages of buying a refurbished iPhone?
Buying a refurbished iPhone is increasingly common, but many people still associate this type of equipment with used products that have less durability. But the reality is quite different: a refurbished iPhone is a device that has undergone rigorous quality tests, has a warranty, and in many cases, has never been used. Furthermore, it is a much more economical and sustainable option.
In this article, we show you all the advantages of buying a refurbished iPhone instead of a new or used model.
Why is it worth buying a refurbished iPhone?
We're biased, but the truth is that we can't even point out a disadvantage compared to the benefits of buying a refurbished iPhone.
1. Buying a refurbished iPhone is a sustainable choice
When you choose a refurbished iPhone, you are giving a second life to equipment that could otherwise be improperly discarded. Did you know that the smartphone industry is one of the biggest contributors to electronic waste (e-waste)? By buying refurbished, in addition to saving money, you help the planet:
- Reduce environmental impact.
- Prevent perfectly good parts from being poorly recycled.
- Make a conscious and sustainable choice.
2. A refurbished iPhone is not the same as used
Contrary to what most people think, buying a refurbished iPhone does not strictly mean buying a used iPhone. A refurbished device can be:
- A display unit in a store, never sold.
- An iPhone returned to Apple, often due to a simple model exchange.
- A discontinued model put back on the market after review.
At iSell & Repair, all refurbished iPhones are transparently classified so you know exactly the condition of the equipment before buying.
3. It's cheaper to buy a refurbished iPhone
Another major reason to buy a refurbished iPhone is the price. An iPhone that was not sold as new – and sealed in a box – must, by obligation, be sold at a much lower price. The truth is that Apple takes this into consideration (and it could not be otherwise). The American brand goes even further by conducting a series of tests on all iPhones returned to them, only sending and authorizing the sale of those that show no faults. All equipment undergoes hardware and software tests, including:
- Screen and touch;
- Battery;
- Microphone and speakers;
- Physical buttons.
In other words, you take home a top-notch, fully functional iPhone for a much more accessible price.
4. A refurbished iPhone has the same lifespan as a new one
It's true that most people think a refurbished smartphone lasts less time than a new one. But this belief couldn't be more wrong. All components used in refurbished equipment are completely new. During the refurbishment process:
- Any faulty component is replaced with a new and original one.
- The battery always has at least 85% of its original capacity.
- The equipment is meticulously reviewed, ensuring it reaches you ready to last for years.
In practice, the lifespan of a refurbished iPhone is the same as a new one.
5. A refurbished iPhone comes with a warranty
