Buy Refurbished iPhones in the UAE

Every refurbished iPhone at Phonebot is a genuine Apple device that has been fully tested, restored, graded, and backed by a warranty. You choose the model, storage, and condition grade. We deliver across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the rest of the UAE, and you can also visit our store at BurJuman Centre in Dubai to see the phones before you buy.

Shoppers use different names for the same thing: used iPhone, second-hand iPhone, pre-owned iPhone, renewed iPhone. The label matters less than what happens to the phone before it reaches you. Every iPhone we sell passes a full hardware inspection, an IMEI blacklist check, and a complete factory reset. A phone bought from a stranger online comes with none of that, and no warranty when something goes wrong.

What You Get With Every Refurbished iPhone

  • Full hardware testing. Screen, cameras, Face ID or Touch ID, speakers, microphones, charging port, buttons, and wireless charging are checked on every device before it is listed.
  • IMEI and blacklist check. Every phone is verified as an original Apple device, free of iCloud locks, and clear of theft and loss registers.
  • Verified battery health. The minimum battery health for each grade is published, and the actual condition is stated on the listing.
  • Warranty included. 12 months as standard, with the option to extend to 24 months at checkout.
  • 7-day returns. If the phone is not right for you, return it within 7 days.
  • Delivery across the UAE. Free delivery on orders above AED 299, with tracking on every order.

Refurbished iPhone Models Available

We stock the full range, from the latest releases to reliable older models. Every model below links to its own page where you can filter by storage, color, and grade.

iPhone 17

The iPhone 17 is Apple's newest release, and refurbished and open box units reach us soon after launch. If you want the current flagship camera and the longest possible run of iOS updates, this is the one to pick.

iPhone 16

The iPhone 16 brings Apple Intelligence features, a current-generation chip, and cameras that handle 4K video with ease. It suits creators and professionals who want near-new performance without paying the new retail price.

iPhone 15

The iPhone 15 was the first iPhone with USB-C, and it carries the Dynamic Island, an OLED display, and the A16 Bionic chip. For most buyers it is the sweet spot: close to the newest models in daily use, noticeably cheaper to buy.

iPhone 14

The iPhone 14 is 5G-ready, quick, and dependable. It is a strong choice for students, parents, and anyone who wants a modern iPhone that will keep receiving iOS updates for years.

iPhone 13

The iPhone 13 remains one of the best value iPhones you can buy. In everyday use, most people cannot tell it apart from the 14. It is a clear upgrade if you are coming from an iPhone 8, XR, or 11.

iPhone SE (3rd Gen)

The iPhone SE 3rd Gen is the most affordable route into a current iPhone. It runs the A15 chip, keeps the compact body, and uses Touch ID with a home button. It suits kids, first-time iPhone users, and anyone who prefers a smaller phone.

Older iPhones

Looking for a budget device or a spare phone? We also stock the iPhone 12, iPhone 11, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 7, and iPhone 6s. Every older model goes through the same testing, grading, and blacklist checks as the newest ones.

Refurbished iPhone Prices in the UAE

The price of a refurbished iPhone depends on four things: the model generation, the storage size, the condition grade, and how sought after the color is. A B-Grade unit with smaller storage costs the least. An Open Box Pro Max in a popular color costs the most.

Prices change with stock and demand, so the live price on each product page is always the accurate one. Use the filters for model, grade, storage, and color to find the best match for your budget in a few clicks.

How We Grade Our iPhones

Every iPhone is graded before listing, so you know exactly what will arrive:

  • Open Box. Practically new, usually unused, with original packaging.
  • Like New. No visible scratches. Looks and works as if it just left an Apple Store.
  • A-Grade. Very light wear you would only notice up close. Battery health of 85% or higher on older models and 80% or higher on newer ones.
  • B-Grade. Visible marks from normal use, fully functional, battery health of 80% or higher. The lowest cost way to own an iPhone.

This is a real choice, not a fine print detail. If you care about a spotless phone, pick Like New. If you care about spending as little as possible, a B-Grade unit works exactly the same and costs much less.

Second Hand vs Refurbished vs Brand New

  • Brand new iPhone. Sealed box and full retail warranty, at the highest price on the market.
  • Refurbished iPhone. Professionally tested, restored, graded, and sold with warranty. Works like new, costs far less.
  • Second hand iPhone. Bought directly from another person. No testing, no blacklist check, no warranty, and no way to verify the battery or hidden faults before you pay.

A refurbished iPhone gives you the savings of the used market with the protection of a retail purchase. That is the whole point.

Which iPhone Should You Buy?

  • Everyday use. If your phone is for messages, browsing, and social apps, an iPhone 13 or 14 does everything you need.
  • Photography and video. Choose a Pro or Pro Max model for the extra camera hardware.
  • Long days out of the house. Prioritize newer models and higher battery health grades.
  • Smaller hands or pockets. The iPhone SE and the non-Plus models are lighter and easier to handle.
  • Keeping the phone for years. Buy the newest model your budget allows, since newer iPhones receive iOS updates for longer.

Unlocked iPhones with eSIM Support

Every iPhone we sell is unlocked. It works with du, e& (Etisalat), Virgin Mobile, and any travel SIM you pick up abroad. Most recent models also support eSIM, so you can run a local and an international number on the same phone. There are no carrier restrictions to think about, ever.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a used and a refurbished iPhone?

A used or second-hand phone is sold as is by its previous owner. A refurbished iPhone has been inspected, repaired where needed, cleaned, graded, and is sold with a warranty. The difference is not the phone, it is everything that happens to it before the sale.


Are your refurbished iPhones original Apple devices?

Yes. Every device is an original Apple iPhone, verified by IMEI. We do not sell clones, copies, or devices with imitation parts.

What battery health can I expect?

A-Grade devices have at least 85% battery health on older models and 80% on newer ones. B-Grade devices have at least 80%. The grade is stated on every listing, so there are no surprises when the phone arrives.

Will a refurbished iPhone get iOS updates?

Yes. Refurbished iPhones receive the same iOS updates as new ones. Apple supports each model for many years after release, so even an iPhone 13 or 14 has years of updates ahead of it.


Is it safe to buy a refurbished phone online in the UAE?

It is safe when the seller verifies the IMEI, checks blacklist status, wipes the device, and offers warranty and returns. We do all four on every phone, and you can also buy in person at our Dubai store.


Can I return my iPhone if I am not happy with it?

Yes. You have 7 days to return the device. If a covered fault appears later, the warranty applies for 12 months.

Can I return a refurbished iPhone if I change my mind?

Yes. Phonebot AE offers a 7-day return policy, so if you’re not happy with your purchase, you can send it back for a refund or exchange.
