Why a refurbished iPhone 14?

The iPhone 14 still offers years of comfortable use: a bright screen, a strong camera and more than enough speed for everyday tasks, social media, photos and video. Refurbished, you buy it up to 70% cheaper than the original new price, while giving up nothing in function. It is also a sustainable choice, because an existing device gets a second life.

What matters most with refurbished is not the phone itself, but who you buy it from. Look at the warranty period, the condition description and the battery. We explain each point below.

What to look out for when buying

Warranty period: this ranges from 12 to 24 months per seller. At Refurbished.nu you get 24 months warranty on every iPhone 14, so you are covered in the long run as well.
Condition: an honest description of the condition matters. You want to know in advance whether a device is as good as new or has clearly visible traces of use.
Battery: ask about the minimum battery capacity. With us that is at least 85 percent, with the option of a battery upgrade to 100 percent.
Right of withdrawal: by law you have 14 days to reconsider. With us you have 30.
Delivery time: if you order before 4:00 PM on a working day, the device is shipped the same day. Delivery takes 1 to 2 working days in the Netherlands and 1 to 3 working days in Belgium.

The conditions explained

At Refurbished.nu you choose the condition that suits you. That way you never pay for more than you need. The condition describes how the device looks, not how it works. Every device works fully and comes with the same 24 months warranty.

As good as new

At most minimal micro-scratches that go unnoticed in normal use. For anyone who wants the new feeling without the new price.

Lightly used

Light traces of use that you barely notice in the hand. The best balance between price and appearance.

Visibly used

Clearly visible scratches on screen and housing. Technically in full working order. The lowest priced iPhone 14 version in our range.
