Thinking of buying a used device? Buy refurbished!

But what are refurbished devices, and why might they actually be the ideal choice for you? Let’s start from the beginning!

What are refurbished devices?

Refurbished devices are remanufactured devices that have been fully inspected for their functionality and battery life by specialized personnel and have had any issues repaired. They are fully tested and functional devices that look like new.

What are the differences from used ones? 

The main difference from used devices, such as a used iPhone, is that refurbished devices have been checked and certified by specialized technicians for proper and uninterrupted operation. They also come with a 2-year warranty, so you can have peace of mind even after purchase!

Why choose them?

You save money:

Refurbished devices are clearly cheaper than new ones, making them an extremely tempting proposition. In many cases, the price difference can even reach 50%!

You care for the environment:

Comparatively, a new device requires about 76,000 liters of water to be produced and leaves a carbon footprint of 87 kilograms of carbon dioxide. On the other hand, by using a refurbished device, you save at least 80% of these resources.

So you win, and so does the environment!

Is there any differentiation between refurbished devices?

Yes! This differentiation is called Grade and its purpose is to help you understand what external damages the device may have.

What are the Grade levels?

There are 3 Grade levels:

A: Device in excellent condition with minimal or no signs of use.

B: Device in very good condition with visible signs of use (scratches, wear and tear, etc.) on the screen and/or back.

C: Device in good condition with visible signs of use (scratches, wear and tear, etc.) on the screen and/or back.
