What are the prices of remanufactured iPhones?
Among the advantages that the customer is looking for is the appropriate price for him, and these devices provide him with what he needs in this aspect, knowing that these devices are technically no different from the new devices and it is difficult to distinguish between them, and the company provides for a year as a guarantee in addition to 3 months of AppleCare service.
Generally, the price of the remanufactured device is at least 15 percent lower, and its price may exceed 20 percent less than the new devices in some versions. This percentage is approximately $80 to $100, depending on the device.

One cannot know the new devices from the refurbished devices, because they are identical in composition and structure, but the remanufactured devices are presented by the company in a completely white box and the phrase “Apple Certified Refurbished” is written on it, while the new devices are in special boxes for the product.

I do not advise anyone to buy from the UAE Oak store. I had the experience of buying a mobile phone and I concluded that it is very bad. A very bad store. Beware of dealing with this store
Unfortunately, I bought the refurbished iPhone from Awok, an Emirati website. iPhone 7, 128 GB, at a price including shipping and customs of 1600 Saudi riyals. After using it for a month, the device seemed to have something strange going on. It works by itself. When you touch it, it works. It even connects by itself, and it is very slow. The sound of the scroll button gets stuck and turns pages and turns phones and numbers. I think it is a completely fake device. I advise you not to approach the refurbished device except from the parent company only.
Are there any disadvantages or disadvantages of refurbished phones?
I bought an iPhone from a phone shop on the grounds that the device is new and warranted for one year. The device was refurbished. What is the solution in this case?
On the contrary, I am now using a remanufactured iPhone 6 Plus. It was an adventure for me to buy it, but for safety, it is now close to 9 months, and I am very, very comfortable with it and I have not encountered any problems, thank God.
Re-manufactured is different from refurbished
Is it possible to find out the refurbished device via imei?
Is it in the UAE?
The price difference is unattractive and not worth it
I bought a refurbished Mac Pro from the company's website, and thankfully, it's a good device, and it doesn't last long for now
Yes, there is commercial fraud by merchants and retailers, and they cheat who does not know
There is also what is called the Dubai assembly
I wish there was an article about the Dubai assembly
I swear to God, your words are correct, especially in Iraq, where there are many fake devices from Dubai
“Refurbished” iPhone can be easily identified by the writing on the back of the device: “Refurbished by apple”
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
Very useful article.
How do I exchange my Apple iPhone for a new one?
Thank you very useful and valuable information
Yes, it is a profitable opportunity for the customer who finds it difficult to buy an iPhone at its normal price. I used to think that Apple does not change the outer cover if there are no very obvious scratches, but this is a very important feature. Whoever wants to know the difference or the negative of this device lies in one case, which is that the device is exposed to a strong shock that damages one of the electronic parts, so these parts are changed, but this shock can affect other parts, but the damage is not complete, i.e. there is an incomplete crack in the electrical connections, and after being exposed to a subsequent light shock, the defect appears. This is the only possibility that is a negative in this device, and it is clear that you do not find many modern devices to get at this price, since the company did not initially want to issue them.
If your device is damaged and Apple has to change it, Apple will give you a refurbished device, even if your device is new.
Hi
Praise be to God, I have an iPhone 7, I use it as a primary device, and I had to buy an iPhone for my other number, so I saw a refurbished iPhone 4s for 500 AED, and the device, Mashallah, is excellent.
Is it available in Saudi Arabia?
It is true that it does not differ much, or it may not differ at all from the new ones, but this name, which gives hope that it will be more affordable in price, should be more than that, for XNUMX riyals is not a lot of XNUMX in it.
Frankly, it's not worth it
If the difference in price is 30 to 40%, it is possible
As for 15%, in return for the device's contents being used, and the warranty is 50% less than the new one
Thank
Guys, I bought a used iPhone, not refurbished, and thank God it served me for a while 😁
The reduced price is not worth the hassle of getting a remanufactured device, especially since some new devices sometimes have defects, let alone what is remanufactured?!!! Purchasing a completely new device is the best option for me, and I guarantee…
Ok, is its quality lower than the usual original?
One of its features is that the bug has been corrected. The important question; Is the battery changed?
Thanks for the useful article
A little discount is not worth the adventure
Frankly, I just know this information!! Thank you iPhone Islam
My credit I buy remanufactured products, whether for Apple or others
