The process of refurbishing technology: what happens to a device before it’s sold as refurbished?

Getting a refurbished device is as easy as pie. But what happens behind the scenes before a device is sold as refurbished? While we can’t speak for other tech shops, here’s how the iOutlet makes sure your tech meets all your expectations.

Battery with a capacity

It doesn’t matter how awesome your tech is if its battery drains easily. However, any used devices’ battery life usually degrades over time. That’s why the team at the iOutlet always checks and replaces any batteries that aren’t performing up to standard. We guarantee that all our devices come with at least 75% of their original battery capacity. However, if that’s not enough for you, you can also always purchase a new battery with your device.

Devices that come unlocked with no contracts

You want complete freedom and flexibility in choosing your network provider; we get it. The iOutlet further makes sure that your device is free of any contracts and that it’s unlocked. That means you’ll be able to use your device with any carrier of your choice without any restrictions. Rest assured, when you purchase a device from TheiOutlet, it will be yours to use as you please. 


Legally yours

Just because you can get a bargain doesn’t mean that there’s any fraud involved. We at the iOutlet make sure that we don’t sell any stolen phones. All our phones are Phonecheck certified against the national lost and stolen databases and Find My iPhone. We prioritise the legality and integrity of our products, ensuring that you can enjoy your device without any concerns. 

Checked for defects

Your devices will come working as they should. One of the most significant parts of refurbishing devices is checking for defects and malfunctions. This involves a detailed inspection of the device to identify any issues or faults. By taking this step, the iOutlet ensures that you only receive devices that are in perfect working order.

Whether you want to buy a phone, a tablet, a laptop, or another refurbished tech device, the iOutlet has a wide selection for you to choose from. If you need more convincing, here are some more things you can get by buying with us:
