Refurbished vs New iPhones Compared

Still weighing up whether to buy a refurbished iPhone or a new one? Here's a quick comparison to help you decide:

Big Cost Savings

A brand-new iPhone can cost anywhere from £500 to over £1,200. Our refurbished iPhones offer the same device at a significantly lower price often saving you 30 to 50% compared to buying new. That's a substantial saving you can put towards accessories, apps, or simply keep in your pocket.

Reliable Performance

Unlike buying second-hand from a private seller, our reconditioned iPhones are professionally tested, repaired where necessary, and certified before sale. You get reliable, consistent performance backed by our 13-month warranty far more reassurance than any private sale can offer.

Premium Cosmetic Grades

All our refurbished iPhones are graded by cosmetic condition, from Grade A (near-perfect) to Grade C (visible wear but fully functional). This transparent grading system means you always know exactly what you're buying. Many of our Grade A devices are virtually indistinguishable from brand new.

Sustainable Technology Choice

Choosing a reconditioned iPhone isn't just good for your wallet it's good for the planet. By extending the life of a device that already exists, you're reducing electronic waste and lowering the environmental footprint associated with manufacturing new smartphones. Buying refurbished is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to make a more sustainable technology choice.
