Apple Certified Refurbished vs vendor refurbished

There's a distinct difference between Apple Certified Refurbished products and refurbished devices without the Apple Certified designation. Apple Certified Refurbished items have been thoroughly cleaned and inspected by Apple itself and are backed by a standard one-year limited warranty. According to Apple, iOS devices sold as Apple Certified Refurbished will come with a new battery and outer shell. Accessories and cables, when applicable, are also included.

Vendor-refurbished Apple products, on the other hand, are often available at lower price points, but do not come with an official Apple-backed warranty. Instead, vendors regularly include their own warranty, but shoppers should check with each merchant to determine the length and terms of any warranty provided with refurbished Apple products.

eBay Refurbished

People looking for a good deal can save money by buying eBay Refurbished items. eBay offers a range of conditions to choose from, so people can get the exact item that fits their budget and is in their preferred condition. According to eBay, products labeled eBay Refurbished are thoroughly tested by qualified refurbishers, function as intended and are backed by a minimum 1-year warranty.
