Refurbished iPhone from China: The Guide
Grades, battery verification, IMEI: everything you need to know before buying a refurbished iPhone imported from China.
Why a refurbished phone from China?
China is home to a large part of the global iPhone refurbishment market: high volumes, specialized workshops, and wholesale prices significantly lower than those in France. If purchased from the right place and thoroughly checked, a Chinese refurbished phone can cost up to 50% less than an equivalent new model.
Understanding the grades
- Grade A: like new, no visible signs of wear.
- Grade B: some micro-scratches, invisible at normal viewing distance.
- Grade C: visible signs of wear but fully functional device.
The grade alone is not enough: you also need to check the battery condition (capacity in %) and the IMEI (no carrier lock or theft report).
What I check before shipping
- IMEI: verification with carrier databases, no lock or reported theft.
- Battery: measured capacity, replaced if below the agreed threshold.
- Screen, buttons, camera: complete functional tests before packaging.
