Our Refurbishment Process

90-Point Inspection with PhoneCheck

Every device we sell undergoes a comprehensive 90-point diagnostic inspection using PhoneCheck, one of the most trusted device testing platforms in the industry. This detailed assessment covers every aspect of the handset, from hardware components and software performance to screen quality, camera function, and connectivity. Nothing is overlooked, and only devices that pass every checkpoint make it through to our stock.

Fully Tested and Certified Devices

After passing our PhoneCheck inspection, each iPhone 17e is fully tested by our experienced technicians to confirm that every feature works exactly as it should. Buttons, ports, speakers, microphones, biometrics, and cellular connectivity are all verified before the device is graded and listed for sale. You can buy with complete confidence knowing every device has been thoroughly evaluated.

Data Wiped and Factory Reset

Before any refurbished Apple iPhone 17e leaves our facility, it is completely wiped of all previous data and restored to factory settings. This means you receive a clean, blank device ready for your own setup, with no trace of any previous user's information. Your privacy is fully protected from the moment your phone arrives.
