What is Refurbished iPhone?
First things first, if you are not familiar with a Refurbished term then you are at the right place.

Even Apple is selling Certified Refurbished iPhone and provides Apple Quality Guarantee, Service and Support with care. On their Website, Apple Says:
Every Apple Certified Refurbished product completes a rigorous refurbishment process that includes full testing that meets the same functional standards as new Apple products. Your refurbished device is truly “like new,” with special savings of up to 15%.
Now let’s move to the main concern of this guide. You just need iPhone which you are buying or already using to know if phone is refurbished or not.
Check iPhone Refurbished or Not?
Since, Apple focus on policies and also selling the refurbished iPhone they have divided the Original, Replacement, Personal one with engraving or Refurbished.
Every iPhone have a Model Number which tells us this information and normally not all users know about this and you are one of them. Here’s how to check.
To check if iPhone is refurbished or not at the first, on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > About. At the very top or forth note down the Model Number of your iPhone.
In the next, Carefully look at the Model Number on your device. They tell us about the origin where they belong.
- If your iPhone Model Number Stars with M, it’s originally purchased from Apple.
- If your iPhone Model Number Stars with F, it’s a refurbished by Apple or Carrier.
- If your iPhone Model Number Stars with P, it’s a personalised with engraving on it.
- If your iPhone Model Number Stars with N, it’s a replacement device due to manufacturing defect.
There is nothing to worry about if you have or getting a refurbished one because Apple is just changing the outer case, battery or replacing parts due to any reason. Also, Apple works on the pre owned phones to make them like-new. One more thing, just stay here.
