Grading and condition

What grading system does Refreshed Apples use?
We use a five-tier grading system to describe the cosmetic condition of every device. All grades pass our 60-point hardware and software testing and come with at least 80% battery health.

  • A+/A (Pristine): Minimal wear, only barely visible scratches, no cracks. Excellent cosmetic condition
  • AB (Great): Light scratches on screen and housing, minor dings and scuffs. No cracks
  • B (Good): Moderate scratches on body and screen, moderate signs of use. No cracks
  • B/C (Fair): Heavy scratches and scuffs on screen and housing. No cracks. Fully functional
  • APPLEASIS: Pre-owned devices tested and sealed by Apple. Cosmetic condition varies, mostly A+/A and AB grade. No cosmetic warranty

For a full explanation of each grade and which suits your customers best, read our used iPhone grades guide.

What does HSO mean?
HSO stands for Hardware Sold Only. It means the device is sold as hardware only, without a retail box or original accessories. All HSO devices are fully tested, data-wiped, and ready for immediate use or resale. This is standard for B2B wholesale and allows us to offer more competitive pricing.

What is APPLEASIS?
APPLEASIS refers to devices that have been tested, checked, and sealed directly by Apple, typically units that passed through Apple's own service or return process. These devices are in mixed cosmetic condition, mostly A+/A and AB grade, but have been hardware-verified by Apple. They come with a 30-day warranty covering iCloud and MDM issues but no cosmetic warranty.

What does 60-point testing mean?
Every device we sell passes a comprehensive hardware and software inspection covering more than 60 individual checks. For iPhones and iPads this includes: touchscreen functionality across all areas, all cameras, Face ID or fingerprint recognition, cellular service, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, microphone, speakers, charging, and battery health. Results are recorded and certified via Phonecheck.

What is the minimum battery health on your devices?
All devices we sell across every grade have a battery health of 80% or above. This is a hard minimum applied to every unit before it enters our inventory.

Warranty and reliability

What warranty do your devices come with?
All devices come with a standard 30-day warranty as a minimum. This warranty covers functional defects. If a device stops working within 30 days due to a hardware fault, we will replace or refund it. The warranty does not cover cosmetic condition.

Can I extend the warranty beyond 30 days?
Yes. The warranty is extendable to a maximum of 2 years. Extended warranty options are available at checkout or on request. This makes our devices suitable for business deployment where longer coverage is important.

Are your devices iCloud-free and MDM-free?
Yes, without exception. Every device we sell is fully cleared of iCloud accounts, MDM (Mobile Device Management) profiles, and Factory Reset Protection (FRP). Devices have a Clean ESN (Electronic Serial Number), meaning they are not blacklisted or carrier-locked. They are ready to activate, configure, and deploy immediately.

What certifications do your devices carry?
All Refreshed Apples inventory is certified through industry-leading platforms. We use Phonecheck for hardware certification of every individual device, and we are accredited members of GSM Exchange, Handelot, and TheBrokerSite, three of the most trusted B2B platforms in the used device industry.

Shipping and delivery

Do you ship outside the Netherlands?
Yes. Refreshed Apples ships globally and supplies businesses worldwide. We work with reliable logistics partners to ensure fast and secure delivery regardless of destination. Shipping costs and transit times are calculated at checkout or discussed directly for large orders.

How long does delivery take?
Delivery times depend on your location and the size of your order. For most European destinations, you can expect delivery within 2 to 5 business days. We aim to dispatch orders as quickly as possible after payment confirmation. For time-sensitive orders, contact us directly so we can advise on the fastest available option.

How are devices packaged for shipping?
Devices are packed securely in protective packaging suited to bulk shipments. All devices are data-wiped and ready for immediate use or resale upon arrival. For large pallet shipments we can discuss specific packaging requirements.

Returns and disputes

What is your return policy?
If a device is found to be faulty or not as described upon arrival, contact us within the warranty period and we will resolve it through replacement, credit, or refund depending on the situation. We have a dedicated returns portal at returns.refreshedapples.com. Our 4.6 out of 5 Google review score reflects our commitment to resolving issues fairly.

What if devices do not match the described grade on arrival?
We stand behind our grading. If a meaningful portion of a batch arrives in a condition that does not match the grade you ordered, contact us immediately with documentation such as photos or video. We will investigate and make it right. Grading disputes are handled through our returns portal.
