How do refurbished iPhones differ from new iPhones?

Loop Mobile's refurbished iPhones are pre-owned but thoroughly restored to excellent working condition. While new iPhones come directly from the manufacturer, refurbished iPhones undergo rigorous testing, repairs, and quality checks to ensure they perform like new. The main differences lie in the cosmetic condition and the price—refurbished iPhones offer significant savings and a more sustainable option.

What cosmetic conditions can I expect with a refurbished iPhone?

At Loop Mobile, refurbished iPhone models come in a range of cosmetic grades:

  • Premium: Our Premium iPhones come with 90% battery life, exceeding the industry standard of 80%. The body and screen will show little-to-no signs of use, functioning as if new out of the box. Our highest quality grade available, premium devices are meant to go the distance.

  • Excellent: Our Excellent iPhones may have very light micro-scratches on the body that are not noticeable with normal use. The screen might show some extremely light signs of use, but these are not visible when the device is in use. These devices function like new.

  • Good: Good devices will have some light scratches on the body or possibly a small dent or two. The screen may also show very light signs of use, but these are not noticeable during regular use. Despite these cosmetic imperfections, the device operates like new.

  • Fair: Fair devices exhibit more pronounced cosmetic wear, such as slightly deeper scratches or dents on the body. Screens may have light scratches that are slightly visible when the device is on. Even with these signs of wear, the device functions perfectly.

Each grade reflects only the cosmetic condition, as all iPhones undergo the same rigorous testing to ensure perfect operation.

What is the battery life of a refurbished iPhone?

The battery life of a refurbished iPhone from Loop Mobile is rigorously tested to meet our high standards. Our premium-grade devices come with 90% battery health, which exceeds the typical 80% standard found in most refurbished tech companies. For those seeking even more assurance, we offer devices with a New Battery, providing 100% battery health. Alternatively, if you're a casual user looking for a more budget-friendly option, you can choose a device with an Original Battery, which ensures 80% battery health. While some natural battery wear is expected in pre-owned devices, we ensure that the battery performance is reliable and sufficient for everyday use.
