Hello, i have noticed that my iphone 5 white 16gb suffers from light leakage defect. Was at apple store and they said that they will replace but didnt have made backup so i delayed for monday. But now i'm wondering, does it worth to change my 2 months old but with perfect condition iphone for refurbished one? Because I'm a bit afraid about those refurbished iphones conditions and i'm wondering if that issue is fixed? My iphone 5 manufactoring date is week 48
Thanks for your opinion

Refurbished iPhone's are scrutinized and put through even stricter QC than brand new ones. I would not be worried about a refurbished iPhone.
