Are refurbished iphones fake?
I spoke with one of my friends and he said that all iphones that are refurbished are fake and should not buy them, but i thought this was odd because why would they sell them? So if anyone can tell me if this is true thank you.
No your friend is little paranoid. Basically only buy from a reputable seller like amazon apple ect. Btw eBay us okay but make sure to check his seller rating if its lower than 90% I wouldn't buy from them
A refurbished phone is just a used phone. This does not make them fake. It makes them used. Since a cell phone provider can't sell a used phone for full price they fix the problems with them and sell them at a discount. There's nothing wrong with a refurbished phone.
I personally would not spend a lot of money of a refurbished phone. If I was receiving the phone free or at a large discount I would buy a refurbished phone. A $50 price difference is not a large enough discount for me to buy a refurbished phone.
No, refurbished iPhones are not fakes. There are fake ones yes (not refurbished again) but refurbished ones, of course even Apple sells them, are simply bought, returned, fixed up, & put back for sale.
