The benefits of buying refurbished technology: cost savings, environmental impact, and more..

Buying refurbished devices is popular and for good reason. It’s not only better for your wallet, but also for the environment. And if you shop right, you can still get a quality device that’s been tested for functionality. Read on for 5 benefits of buying refurbished technology.

Save money on refurbished tech

A significant benefit of buying refurbished technology is the cost savings. You can get a new model, like the iPhone SE 2022, for a fraction of the price or an older model for even less. All iOutlet devices get tested for quality, come with a 12-month warranty, and are made ready by us for you to enjoy. If you’re unsure what to look for when buying a refurbished device, check out this post.

Buy an up-to-standard device

We mentioned above that, at the iOutlet, we go through a number of steps to ensure your refurbished device is ready for you to enjoy. But what does that mean? 

  • We thoroughly test and inspect each device to ensure that it meets our high standards for quality and functionality
  • All phones that we refurbish are Phonecheck certified against the national lost and stolen databases as well as Find My iPhone so that you can be sure that it hasn’t been stolen
  • We make sure that all our phones have at least 75% of their original battery capacity
  • We make sure that all our devices are unlocked from all networks and completely contract-free

Be kinder to the environment

Not only can you save money by purchasing a refurbished device, but you can also help reduce electronic waste and be kinder to the environment. Refurbished devices are a sustainable choice that can extend the life of electronics and prevent them from ending up in landfills. Plus, if you buy from the iOutlet, you’ll be glad to know that we’ve partnered with One Tree Planted to plant one tree every day.

Buy an older model

Some phones, laptops, and other devices may completely fulfil your needs and preferences. It may be a waste for you to buy a newer, more expensive model when an older one will suffice. Although they may not be for sale on the latest tech market, you can find a number of refurbished older models on our site.

Get your device quickly

Are you excited to receive your new device? We can’t speak for other sellers, but here at the iOutlet we get your device to you as quickly as possible, and we cover the cost. Once we go through the checklist to make sure that your device is good to go, we ship it via Royal Mail at no cost to you.
