These are the 3 best refurbished iPhone deals

Are you considering purchasing a new iPhone, but would you like a more sustainable alternative? Then definitely take a look at a refurbished iPhone!

Refurbished in short

Refurbished means the following: the device has had a previous owner, but has subsequently been refurbished, checked and cleaned. It was then put up for sale again, so that someone else could give it a second life.

What is the difference?

The difference with a second-hand smartphone is that with a refurbished device you have an ‘as good as new’ experience. You also receive a warranty and a purchase receipt. Old parts have been replaced where necessary, so you can be sure that you have a properly functioning device. And the big advantage: you pay much less for a refurbished device.

Refurbished conditions

The conditions indicate the external condition of the device: are there any visible signs of use on the housing? Are there scratches on the screen? Many refurbished parties apply the following refurbished conditions:

• As good as new: An ‘as good as new’ device is practically indistinguishable from a new one.
• Light Uses: With a ‘lightly used’ device there are few to light signs of use. This includes small scratches and/or minor impact damage.
• Visibly used: Visibly used refurbished devices are the cheapest, but do contain clear signs of use.

Refurbished iPhone 13: from 400 euros

The iPhone 13 remains a beautiful smartphone. It has a 6.1-inch Super Retina Display with a reduced notch. Thanks to the new energy-efficient A15 Bionic chip, the battery lasts an average of 2.5 hours longer compared to the iPhone 12.

The device is equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens, a front camera and Face ID for unlocking your iPhone. In addition to support for 5G, there is also the option to charge your iPhone wirelessly with, for example, a MagSafe charger.

Would you prefer a smaller device? The iPhone 13 mini is the smallest iPhone 13 with a 5.4-inch screen, but in terms of specifications the device is the same as the regular iPhone 13. It has the same super-fast A15 chip and comes in the standard version with 128GB of storage.

When the iPhone 13 was introduced, the recommended retail price for the 128GB variant was 909 euros. However, the price of the device has dropped considerably, so you can buy a refurbished iPhone 13 very cheaply. You can find the best prices for this device in the price comparator below.

Refurbished iPhone 12: from 280 euros

The iPhone 12 is the entry-level model of the series of iPhones that were launched in 2020. Despite the arrival of its successors, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, this iPhone is far from outdated. With the powerful A14 chip, this phone is still one of the best of the moment. The smooth hardware, support for MagSafe accessories and Apple’s update policy makes the iPhone 12 future-proof.

The notch, which houses the selfie camera, has become slightly narrower and that improves the screen ratio. The IP68 certification is also nice, making the device dust and waterproof.

At the launch of the iPhone 12, the recommended retail price for the 64GB version was 809 euros. But since then the price has dropped considerably, so you can now get a refurbished iPhone 12 for less than half. View the best refurbished deals for this device in the price comparator below.

Refurbished iPhone 14 Pro: from 770 euros

This A16 chip is about 10 to 17 percent faster than that of the iPhone 13 and is also more energy efficient. This way you can enjoy watching your favorite YouTube videos even longer.

A notable change is that Apple has finally decided to say goodbye to the notch. Instead, they introduced the Dynamic Island. On this Dynamic Island you can control your favorite apps and see incoming messages on your iPhone. This new bar can even change shape based on what you’re doing.
