Why a refurbished iPhone?
A refurbished iPhone is an excellent alternative to a brand-new device. You save up to 50% on the purchase price, while getting a device that has been professionally inspected and repaired. At The Phone Shopper, every device goes through an extensive 52-point inspection process before it goes on sale.
Quality grades explained
When buying a refurbished iPhone, you'll come across different quality grades:
- Grade A+ (Like New): No visible signs of use. The device looks and feels brand new.
- Grade A (Excellent): Minimal signs of use, only visible on very close inspection.
- Grade B (Good): Light cosmetic signs of use that don't stand out in normal use. Technically 100% sound.
Warranty and right of return
A trustworthy seller always offers a warranty on refurbished products. At The Phone Shopper you get a standard 2-year warranty on all refurbished iPhones. On top of that, you have a 30-day cooling-off period: not satisfied? You get your money back.
Battery health
The battery is a key point of attention with refurbished iPhones. Always ask about battery health. A good refurbished iPhone has at least 85% battery capacity. At The Phone Shopper, batteries below 80% are replaced with a new one as standard.
SIM-lock free
Always make sure your refurbished iPhone is SIM-lock free (unlocked). All iPhones at The Phone Shopper are 100% unlocked and work with any carrier worldwide.
Conclusion
A refurbished iPhone is a smart choice if you want quality at an affordable price. Pay attention to the quality grade, warranty, battery health and SIM-lock status. At The Phone Shopper you'll find a wide range of refurbished iPhones with a 2-year warranty and free shipping.
