Refurbished devices are popular because they’re often available at a real bargain. And even though we agree that refurbished devices are awesome, be careful; you should never compromise a low price for quality.
There’s a huge difference between buying from reputable sellers and non-reliable sellers on online marketplaces (like Facebook and eBay). Be careful who you buy from!
Here’s how we at the iOutlet refurbish phones professionally.
How the refurbishment process works
Sourcing: We obtain pre-owned Apple devices from various sources, for instance, trade-ins. When you trade in your old device, you help us supply our stock. And you get money back. Everyone wins!

Inspection: We inspect all devices for any physical damage, functionality issues, and overall condition. This thorough inspection process allows us to identify any necessary repairs before we list the device for sale.
But that’s not all. We also Phonecheck certify all phones against the national lost and stolen databases and Find My iPhone. You won’t buy a stolen device here.
Repair and cleaning: If needed, we then repair any broken parts. That might be buttons, batteries, or broken screens. We also extensively clean our devices to make sure you get them as shiny as new.
Erasing data: There’s no way you’ll get a phone with old data on it. For the previous owner’s security and your comfort, we ensure to erase all data from each phone. All phones are also unlocked and contract-free.
Quality control: We then test all devices for quality to meet our strict standards. This includes checking for functionality, ensuring all features work properly, and guaranteeing that the device is in excellent condition.
Resale: Once a phone passes our quality control, it’s ready for resale. We ensure that we put the right label on it so that you know what you’re getting. Pristine-quality phones will be sold at a higher price, but if you don’t mind a few scratches, you’ll save money.
Our rating system is:
- A+ Grade: Pristine: In great condition, no signs of wear
- A Grade: Excellent: Minor signs of wear
- B Grade: Good: Some cosmetic damage or scratches
- C Grade: Significant wear
