Apple launched its iPhone 13 lineup in September 2021. The lineup featured four devices: iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. As per the latest reports, the American tech company will start the sale of refurbished smartphones from the iPhone 13 lineup in the European subcontinent, specifically in the UK, Spain, Italy and Germany.
This is the first time that Apple is selling refurbished units of the aforementioned smartphones on its online store as part of its Certified Refurbished program. It is worth noting that the standard iPhone 13 isn’t available on the website just yet; however, it might be back in stock soon enough. The devices will be sold with a 15% discount on their market price. Furthermore, Apple will expand the sale of refurbished iPhone 13 devices to the US as well. The Apple US website has the purchase options listed there, but they are still greyed out, indicating that Apple will do so soon enough.
Customers who purchase the refurbished iPhones will receive unlocked SIM-free devices with new batteries. The phones will have a new box with a USB-C to lightning cable and will be covered by Apple’s one-year limited warranty. The iPhones will also be eligible for extended AppleCare+ coverage. In words of assurance, Apple stated that the refurbished handsets would be cleaned and tested thoroughly so as to make them indistinguishable from brand-new devices. The company has stopped the sale of Apple iPhone 13 Pro devices since the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro, which makes refurbished phones the only remaining option for customers. At the time of launch, the iPhone 13 lineup featured Apple’s A15 Bionic chip, which holds up against its competition even to this day.
