What is a refurbished iPhone?

A refurbished iPhone means that the iPhone isn’t new, but has gone through a testing process and refurbishment to bring it up to a ‘nearly new’ standard. A refurbished iPhone may have some small marks, but it won’t have major damage like a smashed screen or broken buttons – at Ultimo Electronics, our in-house engineers replace and repair any elements like this to get the device back to a fantastic standard. Every refurbished iPhone goes through a comprehensive 35-point check using PhoneCheck to ensure that the iPhone is fully operational before we send it to its new home.

What’s the difference between an original iPhone and a refurbished one?

The main difference between an original iPhone and a refurbished one is that a refurbished iPhone has had a previous owner. The iPhone is then sent to a company like Ultimo Electronics that test and repair it to get it back to a nearly new standard to give it a new lease of life. The other difference between buying a new iPhone and a refurbished one is that it’s more environmentally friendly to buy refurbished! Save e-waste from going to landfill and reduce your carbon footprint by buying a refurbished iPhone – you could save up to 74kg* in carbon emissions!

*Compared with buying a new iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Is refurbished better than used?

Yes – refurbished is much better than used. A used phone from an online marketplace or from a second hand shop won’t have gone through the rigorous testing that refurbished phones do. The battery health could be extremely low, there could be problems with ports or buttons, and there’s no guarantee how long the iPhone will last for.

When you buy refurbished from Ultimo Electronics, every device has been through a rigorous 35-point check and has been repaired if it needs it. Then, it’s tested again and given a good clean before it’s sent to its new home. Plus, you’ll get 12 months warranty included as standard, and you can upgrade to 2 years for peace of mind.
