Overview

• Apple’s Certified Refurbished iPhone 17 offers a new battery, a fresh outer shell, and a one‑year warranty with AppleCare+ eligibility.
• Discounts on refurbished iPhone 17 models generally run about 10–20% off retail, and early price cuts may be modest.
• If buying from marketplaces, verify battery health and cycle count and request diagnostic proof from the seller.
• Confirm a clear return policy and at least 6–12 months of refurb warranty coverage, and scrutinize grade, photos, accessory completeness, part authenticity, and Activation Lock status.
• Refurbished purchases can miss Apple’s launch promotions, so buying new may be the safer choice if full warranty coverage and incentives matter most.
