Buy a refurbished iPhone? Apple quality at the lowest price
Why pay top dollar for a new smartphone when you can get the same Apple quality for a fraction of the price? A refurbished iPhone is the smartest choice for your wallet as well as the environment. Whether you're looking for the powerful iPhone 15 Pro or an inexpensive entry-level iPhone: in our comparator, you'll instantly find offers from reliable Dutch providers. Technically like new, but much cheaper.
Why Refurbished is the smart choice (vs. Second-hand)
Many people confuse 'refurbished' with 'second-hand' (like via Marktplaats), but the difference is huge. A refurbished iPhone has been checked on more than 50 points by professionals.
These include:
- The screen and camera: Are there no dead pixels or spots?
- The battery: Does it still have sufficient capacity (at least 85%)?
- The software: Has all data from the previous owner been securely erased?
Where necessary, parts are replaced. So you are not buying a "used phone", but a refurbished device with certainty.
Which refurbished iPhone suits you?
The offer is huge. To help you filter, we divide the models into three categories.
1. The absolute top devices (High-End)
Want the latest of the latest, but don't want to pay full price? Then look at models like the iPhone 15 or iPhone 14 Pro. These devices are often only recently on the market, have the fastest processors and the best cameras. Being young, their battery condition is often still excellent, even without replacement.
2. Best value for money (mid-range)
This is where you will find the real runners. The iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 are still blazing fast, run smoothly on the latest iOS version and take great photos. The upside is off in terms of price, giving you the most bang for your buck here.
3. Budget and entry-level models
Looking for a first iPhone for your kid, or don't care much about the latest gadgets? The iPhone SE (2022) or the iPhone 11 are still fine devices for WhatsApp, social media and basic use.
Security: Warranty and the Refurbished Hallmark
One of the biggest advantages of buying through NewMobile.com is the security. All partners in our comparator offer a 2-year warranty as standard. That is often more than you get with a new purchase in the shop (where 1 year manufacturer's warranty is standard).
When making your choice, also pay attention to the Certified Refurbished quality mark. Providers with this quality mark meet strict requirements in terms of quality, warranty and financial health. This way, you can be sure that you can still turn to them next year.
What about "cosmetic condition"?
You often see terms like Good as new (A-grade), Slightly used (B-grade) or Visibly used (C-grade).
- Technical: All grades are 100% identical and functioning inside.
- Externally: With a C-grade, you pay less but accept some scratches on the casing. Will you put it in a case anyway? Then this is the smartest way to save extra!
