What's the difference between a pre-owned iPhone 4s and a new iPhone 4s?

My family and i are finally getting out of metro, and want to switch to sprint.knowing how my father is he'll hurry us up on making the decision on what phone we want to get. So i'm trying to figure out. I really like the iPhone and its in my budget. But on sprints website they have iPhone 4s and iPhone 4s pre-owned. I just want to the the difference between the two and which one you would think is best.

The pre-owned one had a previous owner and then the service provider checked it before accepting it on of it will work or not then most likely sent it to apple or did an I house Refurbishment. The new one is direct from the factory and you would then be the phones first owner. All phone carriers will not accept a phone of it does not work as a trade in.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe a pre-owned iPhone 4s would be a used one.

Pre-owned has been owned by someone else, sold on and depending where you buy it from it will have been checked and guaranteed. New is new straight from the factory. If you're buying from a well-known trusted company then pre-owned is cheaper but if you're not bothered about the price just go for a new one.

Pre-owned means that Sprint took it back and fixed it because there was a problem. But they fixed it so they're safe to use. If you get insurance then the cheaper pre-owned one is what you should go with.

Well the name says it all. The pre-owned means it was owned by someone else prior & of course new means new. You'd be the 1st owner.

That's it. Essentially difference between used & new.

  • What's the difference between and Iphone 4 and a Iphone 3gs? Like I'm probably getting an iPhone 3gs, but I want to know, can you do everything you can do with an Iphone 4 on an Iphone 3gs?
  • Pre-owned iPhone from Sprint? Would you recommend buying a pre-owned iPhone 4s from Sprint? I've heard that pre-owned iPhones aren't bad, but I'd like to hear from people with firsthand experiences with Sprint's pre-owned products (are they as good as new, did you have problems, etc.).
  • Pre owned iPhone 4s 32GB Sprint? Is this a good idea to buy from the sprint website? Will it be messed up or have any problems. And it says it's 150 dollars so would it be exactly that if I order it online? Or would there be some hidden fee
  • Is there any difference between the beats wireless studio 2 and the brand new studio 3 wireless headphones? I currently have the beats pro that I bought a few years ago and I have the new iPhone 8 and it doesn't take a headphone jack unless you buy the special adapter which isn't godly expensive like $5-7. But to me that defeats the purpose of the phone. I was just curious as to if there are any key differences between the two and if so, what are they? Which would you prefer the two? Or maybe even keeping my headphones and getting the adapter?
