Where Do Our Refurbished Devices Come From?

Many people trade in their iPhones when new models like the iPhone 16 are released. We purchase these devices from trusted retailers, thoroughly test them, and resell them — so you can get a quality second-hand iPhone without paying full price.

Refurbished vs Used vs New Phones

• Refurbished: Tested, graded, and sold with a warranty.
• Used: Sold as-is, often without testing or warranty.
• New: Flawless condition, but at a much higher price.
• Phonebot vs Amazon Pre-Owned: Unlike Amazon pre-owned phones, Phonebot’s refurbished iPhones are rigorously tested, graded, and warranted for reliability.
• Apple Refurbished iPhones: Premium quality but higher in cost and limited in model range.

Refurbished Grading at Phonebot

We grade every iPhone for full transparency:

• Open Box: Like-new, typically unused, in original box (may have minor wear).
• Like New: No visible wear; performs like new.
• A-Grade: Light scratches or scuffs (not visible at arm’s length), 85%+ battery health (iPhone 8 and older) or 80%+ (iPhone X and newer).
• B-Grade: Noticeable wear, fully functional, 80%+ battery health.

Compatible with Telstra & Vodafone Networks

All our second-hand iPhones are unlocked and work seamlessly with Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, and other major networks in Australia, supporting both 4G and 5G speeds.

Apple Certified Refurbished vs Phonebot Refurbished

Apple Certified Refurbished iPhones are restored using original Apple parts, include a new battery, and are typically priced just below their original RRP, though not all models are available. At Phonebot, we use high-quality parts to keep prices affordable, offering refurbished iPhones at up to 50% less. Each device comes with a warranty, a charging cable, and a wider model selection.

Certified Battery Performance

We ensure top battery performance in all refurbished Phones. If a battery falls below 80% capacity or exceeds 500 charge cycles, we replace it. Each iPhone comes with at least 80% maximum capacity, which you can verify in Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging.
