7 Reasons Why Buying a Pre-Owned iPhone is Smart

Smartphones are a part of our life, whether it’s for keeping in touch with friends, relatives, keeping track of daily activities, or a variety of other purposes. If you want to acquire a good one without breaking the bank, buying a pre-owned iPhone instead of a new one could be a better option.

Too many people opt for a new phone and pay extortionate prices for them when there’s just as reliable and much cheaper options available. In this blog, we're going to lay out 7 reasons why buying a pre-owned iPhone is smart.

1. Software Stability and Consistency

Number one reason is that the software is the same version on majority of the pre-owned iPhones which gives longevity on a device. The iPhone 13 is the latest and greatest from Apple, but if you buy an iPhone XS today, you’re still on the latest software. You’re going to be on it if you get an iPhone 11 or an iPhone 10. Hence, the longevity factor that iOS brings is an extremely smart reason to buy a pre-owned iPhone.

2. Consistency with design

Apple likes to wait to change its phone design. The iPhone 13 similarities to the iPhone 11 and 12 are vivid because Apple takes a while to change out to a newer design. It is their brand. Apple saw no real reason to change its phone design up until iPhone X, which pretty much is the first time Apple built an iPhone that looked fundamentally different. This is mostly because the iPhone's original design had become outdated.

3. It’s more affordable

The price is, of course, one of the most essential facets of purchasing a pre-owned iPhone. A new smartphone is not in everyone’s budget, so opting for an used phone allows you to look at more cost-effective choices. You may pick from a number of models and you may be able to locate an iPhone that is up to 40% cheaper than those offered in other retail stores, based on the model and condition category.

It’s worth noting that these condition categories are mainly cosmetic in nature, referring exclusively to the phone’s design. Your Repair Depot's technicians rigorously inspect and repair all of the phones as needed. It includes a 52-step inspection procedure that thoroughly tests the phone’s functionalities and replaces any broken parts with brand new parts. So, regardless of the condition category, you can trust YRD pre-owned phones work like new.

4. Extended and Comprehensive Warranty

On a pre-owned iPhone, YRD provides 90-day warranty. While the exterior may show a little wear and tear, the used phone works like a new device with battery life above 80 percent or 90 percent of its original capacity. There are pre-owned fully inspected iPhones that come with a new battery and an all-new exterior casing. It’s a great deal!

5. More reliable than buying a new one

You might be hesitant to purchase a pre-owned iPhone. And it is understandable. You can trust that Your Repair Depot is a well-known and trustworthy repair show and have well-trained  technicians who have your satisfaction at their top priority. 

6. Refurbished phones may last longer than you expect

It’s a popular myth that used phones last less time than new phones. It depends entirely on how reconditioned the phone is. The iPhone 6s is an incredible example of how long refurbished iPhones may last. It was first launched in 2015, and its popularity has only grown since then. You’d think a five-year-old model would fail to function, but not once we work our magic. YRD experts inspect each battery for both loading cycles and capacity and replace those that have less than 80% capacity. It ensures that the phones will run smoothly and in compliance with Apple’s standards.

7. Buying a pre-owned iPhone is a more eco-friendly option

To make a new phone it is utilized a variety of raw materials. It extracts such resources using procedures that release large amounts of carbon dioxide, causing global warming. 

When you buy an used iPhone, you’re helping to support sustainable resource recycling and environmentally sustainable consumption. As a result, you are preventing hazardous carbon dioxide emissions and pollution from electronic trash.

Conclusion

A pre-owned iPhone offers the same features as a new iPhone without investing a lot of money. These iPhones are just phones that have been used for a short time and are fully inspected by trained YRD technicians who ensure the device is not stolen or misplaced and all critical functions like Touch/Face ID, the camera, the charging port, and the battery are in proper working order.
