Where can you buy a refurbished iPhone?
You can buy a refurbished iPhone from Apple's own Refurbished Store, from large retailers like Amazon Renewed, and from specialist refurbishers such as Back Market, eBay Refurbished, and Gazelle. Which sellers are available depends on your country. RefurbMe pulls the listings from these refurbishers into one place, so you compare price, condition, and warranty without opening a dozen tabs.
Who sells refurbished iPhones?
| Seller | What makes it distinct |
|---|---|
| Apple Refurbished Store | Always Grade A, official packaging and accessories, the only source eligible for AppleCare+ |
| Amazon Renewed | Wide stock with the Renewed Guarantee returns policy, available in every RefurbMe market |
| Back Market | Large marketplace of vetted refurbishers (US, UK, and most of Europe; not Canada) |
| eBay Refurbished | eBay's vetted Certified Refurbished program with graded conditions and 30-day returns, separate from the open eBay marketplace |

Available refurbishers vary by market. The full lineup for your country is on RefurbMe's refurbishers page.
What should I check before buying?
- The condition grade (A, B, or C) and what wear to expect.
- The warranty length, which is 30 days at minimum and often a full year.
- Whether the phone is unlocked or carrier-locked.
- The IMEI status, so the phone is not blacklisted.
