Many people still hesitate between a new and a refurbished iPhone. Myths about refurbished phones are widespread, but the reality is different: a refurbished iPhone can be just as good a choice as a new one — and in many ways even better. Here are 7 specific reasons why you should choose a refurbished iPhone from koupitiphone.cz.
1. Significant financial savings without performance loss
The strongest argument for a refurbished iPhone is simple math. A refurbished device typically costs 20–40% less than a new model of the same generation. In specific numbers, this means:
- Refurbished iPhone 15 Pro vs. new iPhone 15 Pro: savings of CZK 4,000–7,000
- Refurbished iPhone 14 Pro vs. new iPhone 14 Pro: savings of CZK 3,000–5,000
With these saved funds, you can purchase a quality case, AirPods, AppleCare+, or cover part of the cost of other accessories. Yet, you get identical performance, the same operating system, and the same features as a new device.

2. Certified Warranty — Assurance like a new device
Refurbished iPhones from iLoveServis come with a certified warranty. This is not just a verbal promise — you receive a written warranty that protects you in case anything happens to the device.
Unlike buying from an unknown seller on a marketplace, with koupitiphone.cz you have the assurance of:
- Written warranty for the device
- Professional warranty service
- Option to return goods within 14 days
- Customer support for any issues
3. Every device undergoes strict professional inspection
Refurbished does not just mean "used and resold". Every iPhone that goes through our refurbishment process undergoes a comprehensive technical inspection and potential repair:
- Diagnosis and testing of all hardware components
- Inspection and potential replacement of the battery (batteries with capacity below 80% are standardly replaced)
- Functionality check of the display, cameras, speakers, microphones
- Testing of WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, and mobile data
- Factory reset and installation of the latest iOS
- Cleaning and disinfection of the device
The result is a device that functions like new — regardless of how it looked before entering the refurbishment process.
4. Performance is identical to a new device
This is one of the biggest myths about refurbished phones: that they will be slower or less reliable than new ones. The truth is the opposite. An iPhone's performance depends on its chip and software — not on whether the phone has been used before.
A refurbished iPhone 15 Pro has the same A17 Pro chip as a new iPhone 15 Pro. It will run the same applications, perform the same calculations, and handle the same gaming performance. Chip wear from normal use is practically negligible and immeasurable.
5. Positive environmental impact
The production of every new smartphone is associated with a huge ecological burden:
- Mining of rare metals like lithium, cobalt, or tantalum
- Manufacturing processes with high energy and water consumption
- A logistics chain stretching across the globe
- Electronic waste from old devices
When you buy a refurbished iPhone, you extend the life of an existing device and prevent it from ending up in a landfill. You reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to the circular economy. According to estimates from research organizations, the carbon footprint of a refurbished smartphone is 50–70% lower than that of a new product.
6. Same software support from Apple
Apple provides software updates based on the model, not whether the device was refurbished or new. A refurbished iPhone 14 will receive exactly the same iOS updates as a new iPhone 14 purchased from the Apple Store.
In practice, this means:
- Latest iOS features
- Security patches
- Access to the latest apps from the App Store
- Compatibility with MagSafe accessories and other Apple products

7. Access to models Apple no longer sells new
Apple only sells current models in stores. If you want a specific older model (for example, an iPhone 14 Pro with a specific configuration), you can still find it on the refurbished market. Moreover, at a significantly lower price than its original launch.
For customers who prefer a specific design, size, or features that new models lack, the refurbished market is the only option.
Common Myths about Refurbished iPhones — Debunked
Myth 1: "A refurbished iPhone will quickly become slow"
Untrue. Performance depends on the chip, not on usage history. A refurbished iPhone with an A15 chip will be as fast as a new iPhone with the same chip.
Myth 2: "The battery will only last a short time"
Depends on the specific device. With reputable sellers like iLoveServis, the battery status is always stated. Batteries with capacity below 80% are standardly replaced with new ones.
Myth 3: "A refurbished phone has no warranty"
On the contrary. At koupitiphone.cz, you get a written warranty for every refurbished iPhone. This is a fundamental difference compared to buying from a private individual.
Myth 4: "I don't know what happened to that phone"
Every device has undergone professional inspection, testing, and factory reset. Its software "past" has been completely erased. You receive a clean phone with the latest iOS.
