How to buy a refurbished iPhone with confidence

Refurbished doesn't mean second-rate. A properly refurbished iPhone goes through a multi-point inspection, gets new battery and screen if needed, and ships with warranty. Here's what to check before you buy.

1. Understand the grades

On Mille, every refurbished device is graded:

• Excellent — virtually flawless. Battery 90%+. No visible wear.
• Very good — light cosmetic wear. Battery 85%+.
• Good — visible scratches. Battery 80%+.

2. Verify warranty coverage

Every device on Mille comes with a minimum 12-month warranty from the seller, plus the option to extend.

3. Check the seller trust tier

Gold-tier sellers have a 99%+ satisfaction rate and ship within 24 hours.
