Mobile Life’s Refurbished iPhones' Condition Grades

Pristine Condition – Like New

Refurbished iPhones in pristine condition have minimal to no signs of previous use, with flawless exteriors and strong, like-new performance. These devices have battery health of 90% or higher (unless stated otherwise) and are perfect for customers seeking a premium experience and top-tier aesthetics at a more affordable rate.

Mint Condition – Excellent with Minor Signs of Use

Mint condition refurbished devices may have light scratches and slight cosmetic marks that are only visible up close and don’t detract from the overall appearance. With a battery health of 80% and above (unless stated otherwise), these mobile phones are ideal for customers seeking reliable performance at great value.

These devices provide the best value among all other options, with a battery life of 70% and above (unless stated otherwise) and dependable usability at a fraction of the retail price.

What can I expect from a refurbished iPhone?

Mobile Life’s refurbished iPhones function the same as a brand-new device, offering the same smooth experience and premium features. Usually, the only differences are a slightly lower battery capacity of around 80-95% of the initial state, and, depending on the refurbishment grade you choose, it may have some cosmetic imperfections, such as small dents and scratches.

Do you have other refurbished devices (e.g. iPad, Apple Watch, Samsung devices)?

What colour variations do you have for each iPhone model?

We have a limited quantity of refurbished iPhone colours for each model, so if you have any device preferences, such as a midnight green iPhone 11 Pro, a deep purple iPhone 14, or a Pacific blue iPhone 12 Pro, you can send us a quick message to check availability. If available, we can keep your preferred model and colour reserved for up to 24 hours so you can pick up your next device at your convenience.

Can I return my refurbished iPhone if I am not satisfied?

Yes, Mobile Life offers a 7-Day Confidence Return Policy if you discover a major functional issue or a mismatch in the grade or description given at the time of purchase. Issues with your device can be resolved by exchanging it for another refurbished device of similar value or by receiving a cash refund or store credit, in accordance with store policy.

Change-of-mind requests are not guaranteed and may incur admin charges if accepted.

Do you accept iPhone trade-ins?

Yes, we accept iPhone trade-ins in Singapore, so you can exchange your old devices for significant discounts on a brand-new or refurbished iPhone.
