Well, it&#8217;s simple, if you bought a new iPhone, or are about to buy a used one, you can <strong>use the model number on the device<\/strong> to check if it is refurbished, new, a replacement by Apple, or personalize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refurbished iPhones are sold not only by Apple but other carriers, but the Apple refurbished device is more than worth its purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will get everything inside a new iPhone plus an optional purchase of AppleCare with a good deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A refurbished iPhone has been repaired, or it&#8217;s a replacement for an original iPhone after

Most times a refurbished iPhone doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean it&#8217;s used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The device might be replaced, because of some hardware issues. When it gets fixed and they want to resell, it is market as refurbished and the price is discounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-the-iphone-or-ipad-model-number\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"use-the-iphone-or-ipad-model-number\"><\/span>Use the iPhone or iPad model number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use your iPhone model number to find out if your device is refurbished or new by going to your iPhone or iPad Settings app &gt; General &gt; About.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the About page, you&#8217;ll find information about the device, scroll down to the <strong>Model section<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the right side of it, you&#8217;ll see the model number that you can use to determine the origin of your iPhone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first character will let you know if the iPhone or iPad is new, refurbished, personalized, or replace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>M<\/strong>: If the model number starts with \u201cM,\u201d it is <strong>a New iPhone<\/strong> that was purchased from Apple (<strong>original<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>N<\/strong>: If the model number starts with \u201cN,\u201d it is a <strong>Replacement device<\/strong> because there was an issue with the originally bought device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>P<\/strong>: If the model number starts with \u201cP,\u201d it is a <strong>Personalized device<\/strong> with engraving, customized (<strong>original<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>F<\/strong>: If the model number starts with \u201cF,\u201d it is a <strong>Refurbished device<\/strong>, which means it passes through the refurbishing process by Apple or a Carrier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you see the first letter you can determine the category which the iPhone or iPad fall under.

In the box, you&#8217;ll get the manuals, cables, and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvocast.com\/how-to\/how-to-update-iphone-and-ipad\/\">updated iOS version<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All refurbished iPhone models come with a new battery, new outer shell and all issues are resolved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you buy an iPhone from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/refurbished\">Apple Refurbished Store<\/a> or when Apple provides a replacement for a damaged iPhone, the model number of the device will be starting with an \u201cN,\u201d and when you get a new iPhone the model number starts with \u201cM.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-carrier-refurbished-iphone\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"carrier-refurbished-iphone\"><\/span>Carrier refurbished iPhone <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple isn&#8217;t the only company refurbishing iPhone as other certified carriers do.

This is quite different from the Apple refurbished iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The carrier-certified refurbished is different from Apple-certified refurbished and you can easily differentiate them by looking at the model number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the Apple refurbished iPhone model number starts with the letter \u201cN,\u201d the carrier refurbished iPhone starts with the letter \u201cF.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-third-party-refurbished-iphone\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"third-party-refurbished-iphone\"><\/span>Third-party refurbished iPhone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an iPhone that is not refurbished by one of the certified carriers like Verizon and AT&amp;T, or Apple you won&#8217;t be able to know through the model number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the model number doesn&#8217;t start with \u201cM,\u201d \u201cN,\u201d \u201cP,\u201d and \u201cF,\u201d it means that the iPhone was refurbished by a third-party vendor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>Read Also<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvocast.com\/how-to\/how-to-fix-update-apple-id-settings-error\/\">How to fix &#8220;Update Apple ID Settings&#8221; <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-difference-between-refurbished-iphone-from-apple-and-certified-carrier\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"difference-between-refurbished-iphone-from-apple-and-certified-carrier\"><\/span>Difference between refurbished iPhone from Apple and certified carrier<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between a refurbished iPhone from Apple and a carrier is that Apple refurbished iPhone comes with a 1-year warranty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the option to purchase AppleCare for additional support for up to 2 years, unlike the 90 days warranty from a certified carrier.
