In September 2016 Apple introduced us to the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which was billed as ‘the best’ and ‘most advanced iPhone ever’.
A refurbished iPhone 7 includes a new breakthrough camera system and a new improved battery which performs even better than its predecessor the iPhone 6S. This model is also the first iPhone not to have a physical home button, but a solid pressure sensitive haptic button instead.
Where can I buy a refurbished iPhone 7?
Many online retailers and marketplaces like Amazon and eBay have a wide choice of iPhone 7 phones. Lots of these sellers often advertise their handsets for great prices, and it often looks like a bargain and not be missed. In reality these handsets will be ‘used’ or ‘second hand’ phones and usually not be fully tested and functioning or come with a warranty. It is therefore important to always check the handset is a ‘refurbished iPhone’.
At WeSellTek, a handset is classed as refurbished, after it has undergone an extensive 70-point diagnostic check, a Check Mend search to ensure the device is not blacklisted, a thorough clean and polish, network unlock if needed, and a data wipe and factory restore to remove all data. Only then, once the phone has passed each stage with no defects, will a refurbished iPhone 7 be ready for sale and come with a 12-month warranty.
