A refurbished iPhone gives you the real iOS experience - fast performance, brilliant cameras, and all‑day battery - at a price that makes upgrading effortless. At The Big Phone Store, every device is professionally tested, cleaned, and certified in our UK facility before it reaches you. If you’re looking for a phone that feels premium without the premium cost, this is it.
A refurbished iPhone is a pre‑owned Apple device that has been returned, inspected, repaired (if needed), and restored to full working order. Unlike a typical second‑hand phone, a certified refurbished iPhone undergoes rigorous testing and comes with a warranty.
At The Big Phone Store, we go further than most marketplaces. Our process includes:
A detailed 90‑point diagnostic check
Battery health verification (minimum 85%, up to 100%)
Complete data wipe and factory reset
Cosmetic grading you can trust
Replacement of any part that doesn’t meet our strict standards
The result is a device that looks clean, runs flawlessly, and costs significantly less than new.
Save hundreds of pounds
Refurbished iPhones from The Big Phone Store typically cost 20-50% less than brand‑new models.
Guaranteed battery health
We never ship a device with less than 85% battery health. On Like New grades, it’s 90% or above. And you can even upgrade to 100% at checkout.
Fully certified, not just “used”
All phones pass the same technical checks regardless of cosmetic grade - only the outside looks different.
12‑month warranty included (extendable)
Every order comes with a 12‑month guarantee covering technical defects. Extend it to 2 years or 5 years cover.
Better for the planet
Choosing refurbished phones prevents e‑waste and cuts the carbon footprint of manufacturing a new device. One refurbished iPhone saves around 60 kg of CO₂e compared to new production.
Wide choice - all grades, all storage
Everything you see on our site is in stock. From iPhone SE 2020 to iPhone 17 Pro Max, with multiple colour and storage options.

Consistent cosmetic standards set us apart. Many marketplaces lack clear battery minimums or replace parts with non‑genuine components. Here’s what your grade means with us:
Grade | The Big Phone Store Standard | Typical Marketplace Standard | What It Means for You |
Like New | 90%+ battery, virtually no marks | Often no battery guarantee | Premium look, full‑day battery - closest to a new phone |
Pristine | Tiny micro‑marks only visible on close inspection | Grading varies wildly | Nearly flawless, excellent value |
Very Good | Light scratches, great value | May use inferior parts | Our best‑selling grade - top‑quality internals at a lower price |
Good | Noticeable wear, fully functional | Condition inconsistent | Reliable daily driver, backed by our 12‑month warranty |
All grades receive the same 90‑point technical check. Only the outside changes.
Worried about battery life? Here are the facts:
Minimum standard: 85% health on all devices - enough for a full day of typical use.
Like New models: 90% minimum.
Battery upgrade option: Choose a new 100% battery at checkout for confidence that lasts years.
Every battery is tested through full charge and discharge cycles. If it fails, we replace it before sale.
You won’t find a refurbished iPhone from us that can’t keep up with your day.

Love my new phone! It looks like new and runs super fast. I couldn't believe how good the price was for such a quality phone. It even came unlocked, which was perfect since I'm switching carriers. The team was really nice when I asked a question over the phone. Very happy!
