Frequently asked questions
Which iPhone grade should I choose?
Choose Renewed if you want the best possible cosmetic condition. Choose Pre-Owned Original if you would prefer to keep the iPhone's original screen and battery and don't mind light signs of use.
Does "Renewed" mean the parts aren't genuine Apple or Samsung parts?
Renewed devices may include high-quality replacement parts where the original part needed replacing during inspection. Pre-Owned Original iPhones keep their original components wherever possible.
Is battery health guaranteed?
Yes. Every device meets or exceeds the battery health minimum shown above for its grade and category, verified before dispatch.
Can I return a device if I change my mind?
Yes, within 10 days of delivery, as long as the device is in the same condition as received with all accessories. Return shipping for change-of-mind returns is paid by the customer. Returns for faulty or not-as-described devices are always free. See our Refund Policy for full details.
