Apple doesn't sell remanufactured iPhones. They're only available as white box replacements.
All returned iPhones get refurbished/remanufactured to become white box replacements, including those returned within the 14-day period still sealed. They don't take any chance lest someone swaps it out and re-seals the box.
There's a difference in parts?how do you find out if your iPhone was made in the weeks with hissing problem
Certain iphones made in certain weeks had hissing issue, i wanna know how you know when its made
does it mean it was returned or refurbished? Should i scoop it up
does it mean it was returned or refurbished? Should i scoop it up
My pre-order iPhone just came today, but I found one in store a week ago so I'll just be returning the pre-ordered one. I thought I would be doing Apple a favor leaving it completely sealed so they could just sell it to someone else in that same store. Guess not.
