Not exactly the same, but we didn't want to spend a fortune on an apple watch for an 11 year old, so we went the re-furbished route. The first one was absolute garbage and wouldn't hold a charge for more than two hours. The second one works like new. It's a bit of a crapshoot it seems.
This. I've had fairly decent luck but my wife's last iPhone she got like that her speaker wasn't very clear, it would drop calls for no reason, and didn't hold a charge the best.
All of mine were bought on Amazon. I wouldn't buy one on eBay.You can buy refurbished IPhones through both Apple and Amazon. There are boatloads more you can get (and cheaper than those two) around the internet but you’re trusting some guy off eBay.
