Facts about refurbished Apple products

Refurbished gear that Apple sells are devices that were little used, which often means either store display units or units that unhappy customers returned to Apple, where they’re cleaned and inspected thoroughly to ensure they work as expected.

Any faulty components are swapped for genuine Apple replacement parts. For iPhones and iPads, the refurbishment includes a new battery and outer shell.

Refurbished products not shipped in their original packaging. Instead, they come in a white box that includes all the original accessories and cables. Any certified product you buy from Apple is backed by a one-year manufacturer warranty.
