Where to buy a (guaranteed) refurbished iPhone anyone ?

Pick up dead cat, swing it.

 

Where are you? Somewhere in Thailand?

 

You want to buy on-line? Or in person?

 

Which model?

 

What sort of guarantee are you looking for?  

I did buy a second-hand (almost new) Apple iPhone on Lazada a few months ago and it was in immaculate order and cost 2400 baht!

 

Couldn't have been happier if I'd bought it new, so have a search around and see what you can find. My was an Apple iPhone 5 SE, 16 GB and I only bought it to supplement my fantastic Nokia flip phone, just in case I needed to log/register the vaccination stuff on it – – and as yet I haven't used it, but it is in reserve!

There is no iPhone 5 SE so if that’s what you bought it’s a fake.
The iPhone 5s was released in September 2013 and discontinued in March 2016. model identification iPhone6,1 (GSM) iPhone6,2 (GSM/CDMA) 

Maximum OS	iOS 12.5.5 (16H62)

The iPhone SE 16GB was released in March 2016 and discontinued in March 2017 model identification iPhone8,4

Maximum OS	Latest release of iOS

The price sounds reasonable for the SE if it doesn’t have too many battery cycles, possibly too high for a 5s

You will find your iPhone 5 will    Not be compatible with latest apps ect too old , but good for the kids to make phone calls on

Gosh thats 10 years old isn't it.....?? I have an Iphone 6 I brought new 7-8  years ago, I expect to keep it for 10 years but there are some things I cant do. I wanted to grab a itracker for my dog, but it wont work on anything under (I think) a 9.

I'm going to visit the local Apple store next week as I would like an Apple refurbished iPhone with an Apple guarantee - anyone bought one from Apple in Thailand ?

It’s between 5 & 6 years old and will run any app, apart from ones that need hardware it doesn’t have though those are not many.

Apple Thailand doesn’t have a refurbished store.  However if someone has bought a phone with AppleCare+ less than 2 years ago the AppleCare + will transfer with the phone
