The Truth About Refurbished Tech: Common Myths Busted

The Truth About Refurbished Tech: Common Myths Busted

When people hear the word refurbished, it can trigger a lot of assumptions - and not always the good kind. We get it. You want your phone to work flawlessly, look great, and last. The good news? Refurbished tech from Mobile Reborn can do all that - and more.

Let’s clear up some of the most common myths so you can shop smart and confidently.


Myth 1: “Refurbished” Means Broken

Not even close. A refurbished phone is not broken - it’s been professionally restored. At Mobile Reborn, every device goes through a full 70-point check. If something’s faulty, we replace it. What you get is a fully working phone that meets high standards, ready for daily use. In short, nothing broken about it.


Myth 2: It Won’t Last Long

This one just doesn’t hold up. A professionally refurbished phone can last just as long as a new one. We ensure all key components—including the battery, screen, and internal parts—are in top working order. And with our 12-month warranty included on every phone, we stand by their durability.


Myth 3: You Don’t Get a Warranty

Wrong again. Every phone from Mobile Reborn comes with a full 12-month warranty—at no extra cost. You’re covered if something goes wrong, and our customer support team is always here to help.

Want even more peace of mind? You can now purchase an extended 24-month warranty on selected models from just £39.99. That’s two full years of protection for your refurbished device.

Concerned about battery life? Our extended plan also includes one battery replacement, so you can keep your device running smoothly for longer.


Myth 4: Refurbished Means Outdated Tech

Not here. Refurbished doesn’t mean ancient. Our range includes recent and even current models—including the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16. Whether you're looking for powerful performance, great cameras, or modern design, we’ve got it—just without the premium price tag.


Myth 5: Refurbished Tech is Fake

Every device we sell is 100% genuine. That means real iPhones, real Samsungs, and real components—just restored to top condition. We source our stock from reliable, legitimate channels, and all devices are unlocked and ready to use with your preferred network.


Myth 6: Refurbished Tech is in Bad Condition

We offer multiple grading options so you can choose what suits you best—but even our lowest cosmetic grade still guarantees full functionality. No cracks, no glitches—just a few light marks at most. Want something pristine? Go for our Pristine or Pristine Plus devices for that fresh-out-of-the-box feel.
