If you’re looking to buy high-quality Apple® products without paying the full price, certified pre-owned products are the way to go. By choosing this option, you can stay within your budget while getting a phone, tablet, or computer that meets your needs. The guide below explains what it means to have a pre-owned Apple product and why you should consider buying one.

What Is a Certified Pre-Owned Apple Product?

Simply put, this is an Apple device that’s been used by someone else for some period of time, then refurbished by Apple or a third party. In general, the device was returned due to a problem or because it was no longer in use. Every device is fully inspected to make sure it runs like new, necessary repairs and replacements are made, and you’ll usually get a warranty along with the product.

Why Buy Pre-Owned?

The most obvious benefit is price—if you’re willing to wait a few months after the release of a new product, you can often get anywhere from 15% to 30% off the full retail price. Pre-owned Apple products make it easier to upgrade your devices or replace one if it breaks.

What to Avoid

If you’re buying from a third-party retailer, make sure it’s one that offers a comprehensive warranty. If they don’t, they may be trying to scam you by using low-quality parts or hiding existing defects. Ideally, you should also buy from a company that offers repairs so if you ever experience an issue, resolving it will be easy. Finally, before purchasing a device, check for damages—such as scratches or loose screws—and make sure it boots up properly.
