Imagine a future where technology goes hand in hand with sustainability, where every choice is a small step towards a greener planet. There is no need to try too hard because this is already a reality that takes shape every time a consumer chooses one refurbished smartphone. Within this new market, the one that dominates with almost half of the sales is precisely theRefurbished iPhone. Reading the comments on various web pages and social media we understood that the purchase of refurbished devices is a global phenomenon that affects all age groups.
A trend confirmed by research commissioned by Swappie in collaboration with SWG. In this study, i digital natives they want their tech lifestyle to be sustainable. THE Millennials and forty-year-olds aim for certified and guaranteed products, while over 65 they opt to gift refurbished technology to their partners, thus supporting the environment and the relationship. This isn’t just a budget option, but a ethical choice. Every device that finds life in the hands of a new owner contributes to a positive impact, because it effectively reduces the enormous flow of electronic waste.
Why we chose Swappie
In light of this trend, we also purchased a refurbished iPhone to understand the issues advantageslive there customer experience and touch it with your hand quality of the products. Among the various proposals on the refurbished iPhone market, the choice fell on Swappie. The reasons are different, but the one that convinced us the most is its determination to only sell professionally refurbished iPhones with a 12-month warranty. The technical reconditioning process takes place exclusively within the company, in the Tallinn laboratory, and involves 52 phases. This is where my forty-year-old attitude comes out.
Furthermore, for those who often change their mind, it is possible to make a return within 14 days. In their catalog there are only iPhones, from 7 to series 15. For each model, you can select GB of memory, color, and (when available) a battery capacity of 100%. We are not talking about a young startup, but an already established company considering that it employs more than 750 people and in 2022 it had a turnover of 208 million euros. Furthermore, I find Finns to be very correct people, but here we go private.
How was the shopping experience?
By typing Swappie.it the system goes directly to home page of the international site in Italian. Here you just need to click on the item Buy and select the specification that suits us. We have chosen the maximum: The Premium Series. Given the quantity and variety of the offer, we have defined our budget at 999 euros. At this price, the choice of the day was betweeniPhone 15 128GB in yellow, green, blue and black colors for the sum of 989 euros. Again for the same price, the Premium Series also offered a iPhone 14 Red 512GB. Going down to 829 euros we also found different ones iPhone 14 256GB and some iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB at 839 euros.
What did we choose? The only one iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB at 999 euros. In the current state of the unit, the price paid for this iPhone is the most convenient. This series, in fact, promises perfect aesthetics, a new battery and a buyback guarantee in addition to the 12 months guaranteed for any type of failure. Furthermore, at the time of purchase it is possible to add the service Swappie Care for replacing the iPhone in case of breakages resulting from falls. Once we had selected the object, checked its characteristics and memory capacity, we paid for it and waited for its delivery.

L’unboxing of the refurbished iPhone
Our purchase arrives after a week in one bubble wrap envelope (they are the ones with the bubbles). Inside is a card with Swappie’s thanks, an adhesive label and the respective envelope for a possible return of the iPhone. Together with them one black rectangular packaging with the Swappie writing in relief and Signature, the latter in an iridescent color. There are also two warranty seals on the lid of the package. Inside the iPhone 13 Pro Max is facing up. The display, however, already comes with the protection of a additional tempered glass to avoid breakages in case of falls.
On Swappie it is not possible to purchase protective covers. Also inside the package, under the cardboard that holds the smartphone, there is the USB-A cable and the removal key of Sim. At first glance, the iPhone in question is truly like new both in terms of aesthetics and efficiency given that the maximum battery capacity contemplates a net 100%. Once turned on, the Apple smartphone requires the same procedural process as the new one to activate it. By checking the unit’s general information, under the heading Parts and service historythe drumsit screen and the camera are replaced by original Apple parts.
