Refurbished iPhone

Refurbished iPhone, what is that?

A refurbished iPhone is an iPhone with a second life. It is a used device that has undergone strict quality control and refurbishment. After a thorough cleaning, the refurbished iPhone is ready to be delivered to your home, together with charging accessories.

If you (like many other iPhone users) don't think it's necessary to buy the latest model, a cheaper refurbished iPhone might be something for you. At leapp you can order a refurbished iPhone from around €120. This way you can choose a refurbished iPhone that is as good as new and perfectly suits your usage needs, while you are cheaper than with new devices. But we often already have the latest models, such as the refurbished iPhone 15 , iPhone 14 , iPhone 13 or iPhone SE 2022

The iPhone is the most popular smartphone of today. This phone owes its popularity to the progressive technology and the beloved design. Every year Apple releases a new iPhone model. Since the very first iPhone was for sale in 2007, many models have passed by. In the early years, the quality of the devices shot up with each generation. In recent years, the new models are often perfected versions of previous generations, where we mainly see progress in terms of power, speed and increasingly better cameras.

The benefits of a refurbished iPhone:

• Up to 60% cheaper than new
• Ordered before 10pm, shipped the same day
• Free charging accessories
• 14 days money back guarantee
• Two-year warranty on device & battery
• More sustainable for the planet than new
• Technically 100% in order

A refurbished iPhone is not the same as a second-hand iPhone. Where a second-hand iPhone is 'simply' offered by a previous user, a Refurbished iPhone has been thoroughly inspected on all important points of use. Does the microphone still work perfectly? Do the buttons work? What about the screen? Is the battery of sufficient quality?

Where necessary, parts were repaired or replaced. In this process, the device was cleaned and iOS was reinstalled. This gives the future owner a fresh start. The iPhone is cleaned and provided with the correct charging accessories. Finally, the iPhone is put in a nice box, ready to be delivered to your home!

Refurbished iPhones and warranty

Another important difference between second-hand and refurbished. There is no warranty on a second-hand iPhone. A refurbished iPhone from leapp comes with a two-year warranty – both on the device and the battery. This way we know for sure that you will enjoy your iPhone to the fullest!

Refurbished Quality Mark from Techniek Nederland

Techniek Nederland has developed a quality mark together with TUV and EDR to guarantee the quality of products, including Refurbished iPhones. The quality mark offers confidence and clarity for the consumer by thoroughly inspecting the affiliated parties. Leapp has been a member of this quality mark since 2019 and in all subsequent years the certificate has been awarded again for all categories that Leapp carries.

Is refurbished sustainable?

Refurbished Apple products are a lot more sustainable than new iPhones, because producing new devices uses a lot of raw materials. Did you know that it takes 23 kilograms of ore, 20.5 grams of cyanide, 10 grams of plastic and 100 liters of water to produce an average iPhone? Oh yeah, and 79 kilograms of CO2 are also released during the production and distribution process.

When reusing existing iPhones, all these valuable raw materials do not have to be mined from the earth again. By extending the lifespan of Apple products in this way, we hope to reduce the demand for all these raw materials and the depletion of the earth somewhat. A lot more sustainable than new!

What do “As New”, “Lightly Used” and “Visibly Used” mean?

Refurbished iPhones are available in three conditions: Like new, lightly used and visibly used. The condition says something about the appearance of the iPhone. Inside, all devices are virtually identical. All refurbished iPhones to work perfect, but some show more signs of use on the outside. Just like every person has a scar, refurbished iPhones have small scratches or light dents.
Every device is different. That is why it was decided to use universal gradations, so that they are the same for every provider. Very easy!

Want to know more about the three conditions? Then take a look at this page where we explain the conditions in detail using photos.

What version of iOS does my iPhone support?

In our experience, iPhones are still perfectly usable up to one or two versions (of iOS) ago. Banks are often a good reference point, ING indicates that they still support iOS15 with their Mobile Banking App. For Rabobank, version 14 is even sufficient!
