Top Facts about refurbished iPhones you need to know before buying

Refurbished iPhones are often 15-30% cheaper than brand-new models

 Refurbished iPhones are priced lower than new models, so let’s break down how much you can save.

For example, the iPhone 14 Pro MAX unlocked refurbished (available in our store) with 128GB in excellent condition costs $749, delivered to your door. The lowest price for a new model with these specifications on other sites is $895 (as of October 31, 2024). So, by purchasing the refurbished version, you save $145, or 16.4%. And in excellent condition, it looks practically new, letting you keep that extra money in your pocket. 

 Refurbished iPhones Often Look Like New

 Refurbished iPhones in excellent condition often look like new. Take a look – they’re so appealing you might even want two! Here’s the description for “Excellent Condition” from our website, costplusphones.com:

Software Is Up-to-Date

We want our customers to enjoy their experience, so we only sell models that support the latest Apple software. All models from iPhone 12 to iPhone 15 support iOS 18 (the latest version as of October 31, 2024). This lets you take full advantage of your iPhone and the newest iOS.

For instance, the iPhone 12 Pro unlocked refurbished with iOS 18 runs smoothly, and I enjoy using all the new features and security updates.

That’s the beauty of Apple – you get the latest software adapted to your phone without upgrading your device.

Unlocked and Ready for Any Carrier

We value the flexibility that comes with an unlocked phone. An unlocked device gives you the freedom to choose any carrier, change it, or try something new, and even save money by switching carriers.

That’s why we offer unlocked iPhones, giving you the flexibility to select the best carrier for your needs and avoid hassle when switching.

Lower Environmental Impact Compared to New Production (eco)

Apple, the maker of the iPhone, upholds high environmental standards. By buying refurbished, you make it even more eco-friendly. Purchasing a refurbished iPhone means using a device that’s already produced, saving resources. It also reduces demand for new production, which is a win for the environment.

We’re confident that buying refurbished is an environmentally responsible choice. Don’t you agree?

Most refurbished iPhones come with a warranty 

We understand that people may feel unsure about buying refurbished. Everything can break at some point, and that’s okay.

In my experience, iPhones are among the most reliable smartphones available. If you ask ChatGPT “What’s the most reliable smartphone,” the iPhone is likely to be one of the top answers (it was for me!).

We put our phones through rigorous testing to ensure they’re high-quality. And if something doesn’t meet your expectations, we have a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied, simply contact us, and we’ll provide a prepaid shipping label to return the phone. After verifying your purchase, we’ll issue your refund.

In Conclusion

We want to minimize any risk for you and build mutual trust so you can enjoy using your phone with peace of mind.
