The evolution of smartphones and iPhones is a constant, so much so that every month there is always a new one on the market. Discover, in this article, the advantages of buying a used iPhone at iServices and the conditions of these devices.
What is a Used/Refurbished iPhone?
The term refurbished iPhone generally refers to used equipment that has been returned due to a fault, but has been repaired and put back up for sale. However, all iPhone that have been returned because customers changed their minds after purchasing it during the 30-day trial period after purchase are also considered Refurbished iPhones.
A semi-new iPhoneis one that has been taken out of the box and put on display in a store, but has not been sold and, consequently, has low usage rates.
Refurbished iPhone: The Advantages
Tested
Before being offered for sale, all used or semi-new iPhones are carefully checked and tested to ensure they are in full working order.
These tests typically include confirming the status of the battery and equipment components such as buttons and cameras. Audio quality and screen responsiveness are also examined, as well as antenna operation to confirm that the device can connect to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G/4G easily. In addition, all smartphone data is securely deleted, ensuring that the Data Protection Act is complied with. Finally, the equipment is updated to the latest version of the operating system that powers it, in the case of the iPhone or iOS.
Price
We won't be beating around the bush. Undoubtedly, the biggest advantage of opting for a used iPhone is the fact that the iPhone is cheaper with this condition. Consult the iServices Online Store and discover the prices of our refurbished iPhones.
Warranty
It is natural that the fact that the iPhone could have been used by other people, makes you feel backwards. For this reason, when purchasing a semi-new iPhone / refurbished, iServices offers you a 1-year warranty. So, if there is a problem with your refurbished iPhone, we guarantee that it will be repaired or replaced.
