What is the difference between a refurbished and used iPhone?

A refurbished iPhone is a phone that has undergone repairs to be restored and sold. Knowing that Apple is the only manufacturer not to sell its spare parts. Refurbished iPhones are repaired with low-end generic parts. The screen and battery are often replaced by more fragile and lower quality parts. The chassis including the rear window is very fragile compared to an original iPhone.

A used iPhone is a completely original iPhone. It has never been broken and therefore has not undergone any repairs. They then have 100% of its original parts. This is the best quality iPhone available.

Why buy a used iPhone?

A used iPhone has all its original Apple parts unlike a refurbished iPhone. It is much more qualitative and resistant than a refurbished iPhone and it is less expensive.

What warranty do you provide on the products?
