Refurbished iPhone vs other smartphones?

Of course, there are some differences that need to be addressed. Let's start with the operating system. iPhones are controlled by iOS while most other smartphones run Android. Let these two be precisely the two major operating systems. Much depends on personal preference, but below still some pros and cons. We make the following comparisons:

• Security

• Price Range

• Apps

• Storage

• Camera

Security

Apple works with iOS and is known for the strong security of your smartphone. Why? Well iOS is an operating system developed exclusively for the use of Apple devices. This obviously differs a lot from Android since it is an open operating system and thus accessible to everyone.

Price Range

If price plays an important role for you, then classically you should look at a Samsung. However, this only applies when buying a new device. If you look at the refurbished iPhones you will quickly see that the prices have been greatly lowered so we offer worthy competition against other brands. Feel free to take a look among the iPhones offered on our site or contact us for more information.

Apps

The apps on an iPhone can be downloaded through the AppStore. This is a secure environment designed only for Apple devices. Apple strives to personally screen each app for safety and only allows safe apps into their environment. It is not possible on an iPhone to download apps outside of the AppStore. 

With Android, one can download apps from the Play Store. The Play Store is not as closely monitored as the AppStore and therefore may be less secure. There are, however, brands that are also concerned with screening the security of apps within the Play Store (Samsung, for example). The biggest difference is that on Android, one can also download apps through other channels. As a result, the security of your smartphone is no longer guaranteed.

Storage

You can choose the memory of your smartphone when selecting a model. Thus, you have refurbished iPhones with a storage capacity of 32GB, 64GB, up to the capacity of 1TB. 

Other smartphones work on roughly the same principle. The biggest difference, however, is that with other brands the storage capacity can be expanded with a microSD card.

Camera

Of course, it is impossible to forget the camera. This is inextricably a flagship of any iPhone and the sign of many Apple devices. There are, of course, competitors on the market that present quality cameras on a smartphone.

However, it is notable that in the graphics sector, Apple is the most widely used. The quality of your photos is not only of a very high standard. The user-friendliness of the operating systems also makes Apple a logical choice.

Meest popular iPhones

The most popular iPhone devices are:

• iPhone SE2

The iPhone SE2020 has been on the market since September 2020. Yet it is noticeable in our figures that this refurbished iPhone is among the absolute bestsellers. This can be explained.
