Refurbished iPhone: What and Why? Choose Smart at leapp!

what is a refurbished iphone
A Refurbished iPhone is an iPhone with a second life. And not just any second life, one that might be even better than the one before. Better for you and better for the planet!

And more...

'Refurbished iPhone' is a term that is becoming increasingly popular. A refurbished iPhone is actually a previously 'used' phone that has been completely refurbished and functions as new again. This refurbishment is done by experts, where the iPhone is thoroughly checked on more than 50 points. This ensures that the refurbished Apple iPhone comes closer to a new device than a used one, but for a nice price!

Condition

Every device is different. That is why it was decided to maintain a universal grading so that it is the same for every provider. How easy! The gradings look like this:

  • As good as new: almost indistinguishable from a new product, technically completely in order.
  • Lightly used: some light scratches or other signs of use can be found here, technically completely in order.
  • Visibly used: Here you can expect some visible signs of use such as a dent or scratch in the casing. However, the product is technically completely in order.

Why a Refurbished iPhone?

Good and reliable

Before a refurbished iPhone is sold, it undergoes a thorough test. During this test, the iPhone is checked, tested and possibly overhauled on more than 50 points. This makes the device as good as new again. To remove any doubt about the quality, the Refurbished Quality Mark was developed. In order to obtain this quality mark, both the Refurbished iPhone and the organization are tested .


Good for the planet

A Refurbished iPhone is not only very good for your wallet, it also contributes significantly to a circular economy. Every iPhone contains components that are not recyclable. By purchasing a Refurbished iPhone, a lot less of these components need to be made, fantastic right! The process of a Refurbished iPhone also requires a lot less energy than that of a completely new device. This ensures much less CO2 emissions and therefore also reduces your CO2 footprint , lucky you!
