Pros and cons

The best

  • First 120 Hz display on the standard iPhone
  • 256 GB as standard
  • Years of updates ahead

Worth knowing

  • No telephoto
  • Hardly any refurbished units yet

Refurbished grades, explained

The grade only describes how the outside looks. In every case the device should work perfectly.

  • Fair

    Visible signs of use (scratches or small dents) on the body and sometimes the screen. Works 100%.

  • Good

    Light marks only visible up close. The most common balance between price and looks.

  • Excellent

    Practically no marks to the naked eye. The closest look to new.

Example prices, not live. The real price depends on the seller, storage and timing.

Before you buy, check this

  • Battery health

    Check the guaranteed minimum and whether a new battery is an option.

  • Warranty

    Check how long the warranty lasts on each listing and what it covers.

  • Seller

    Look at the refurbisher's rating and their returns policy.

Recommended accessories

Many refurbished devices arrive without a case or charger. These are the basics we recommend.
