Testing & certification
Before listing, we check lock status, key components and erase previous owner data. Results are logged so we can trace what left the workshop.

When you buy a single refurbished iPhone, you can also add a new battery on its product page. Like all replacement batteries we fit, it is not made by Apple, so Settings may show a message that the battery is not a genuine Apple part.
