Have you had a bad experience with Refurbs? Where did you buy it from? I'm taking suggestions! In the future, I'm going to buy multiple devices so these tests can be more accurate. Ie - buying 5 iPhone 8's and see how many have issues. Next up is GAMESTOP! :) Thank you guys for watching!

Just a tip on checking for generic charging cables, normally they have a serial number on the cable(fake ones never have this), may take a bit of time to find as the fonts grey, like the charger itself.

i got a used iphone XR “like-new” from amazon. their packaging wasn’t the best but the overall phone quality isn’t even bad. their description was mostly accurate, they said things like “no imperfections to be seen as far as an arms length” which is totally true, i barely notice any scratches on the screen until i bring it up closer. battery health is at 88% which isn’t super bad, it’s good enough for me since it lasts on one charge most of the day.

I'd be so pissed. The bare minimum of a refurbish to me is at least popping in a new battery. No exceptions.

Better off with Amazon refurbished program. I ordered an iPhone 10s gold and came like it was new out of the box. Not a single scratch. Happy with the purchase.
Yay! A long video again! I like the long videos, keep it up!
you should review a backmarket phone. I’ve heard mixed reviews, and i want to know for sure what the experience is like
I have a question. What is the hardest phone repair you’ve ever done?
I come on this channel knowing that I will learn something new from each video for sure.

For reference of how bad the battery health is, apple recommendeds a replacement at 85% and you typically have issues at 80%

I would NEVER buy a refurb from a company that charged to return it. Charging a customer to return a refurbished device is shady. You never know what condition the phone is in because it is obviously not new. 👎Best Buy👎
@PhoneRepairGuru

While I understand why they do that, if the customer can't see the phone before they buy it they should be able to return it if it isn't up to their standards. That's why I can stand behind Amazon Renewed because their return policy is solid.

I think you should look at "black market" for used phone. I like their warranty and I think they have like a 90 day return policy
I bought an iPhone 11 Pro silver 256GB off of Amazon and it works perfect the only issue was the battery health which was 81%. The cosmetic condition is about 9/10. Was actually going to buy it off of Best Buy.
Stay away from Best Buy marketplace!
Do a video on how to check an iPhone thoroughly within 3u tools and that app you mentioned please
Cool video Amazon actually it’s ok to buy refurbished phones, eBay too as if something goes wrong which happens 1 out of 2 , they stand behind you and you are covered. My advice is to buy from these two places but the best place to buy an iPhone even refurbished is apple themselves.
A question: what is the oldest phone (or other thing) that you have ever repaired? (You can answer this in a shorts)
Face reveal?
2 days ago I actually got my semi new (used or refurbished) Huawei Mate 40 pro from a phone company called "Movistar". It cost me 600 dollars ( half the price of a new one) and it arrived in nearly perfect condition with just some minor wear marks, the screen is perfect, cameras also perfect and the battery last a whole day. 10/10 recommended

@crazy afghan I've been a Huawei user since 2018 and I really like their phones, they cost a fraction of the price of a high end apple or Samsung device and offers you the same capabilites in most aspects

Walmart depends on the seller but the xr I got wasn’t properly refurbished. Battery wasnt even done on it but the phone does work atleast.

Best Buy also sells Open Box for a smidge more? but with better warranty and condition. But, it would still be interesting to see those phones on your channel. tnx
Which company batteries do you use when changing iphone batteries?
Great video, where would you say is a reliable and good priced place to buy refurbished in Canada?
A few years ago I got an s10 from best buy refurbished, and it had a Sim tray that didn't fit flush, software that would not update because it had some kind of Wierd mismatch between software version and model number, and the screen cracked on its own only a few weeks after getting it
Can you go over back market refurbished devices? I got a phone from them and I want to know the quality of their work.
Plus most of the time those are 1:1 copies Charging cables . With apple chips . So it would show genuine. But they are still good quality cables.
You should do one on the backmarket
You should do the same thing but with Walmarts refurbished devices
what app did you use to test the device?
It would be cool to see a review of a refurbished quest 2

Hey Walter! thank you for the comment. Shorts is what people mainly watch, I'm focusing on long videos a lot more nowadays but shorts are much easier to put out and usual produce better results for my channel. I have a team of 2 now so it will definitely be easier for me to make more long videos. Thanks for your feedback man, have a nice day :)

84% isn't very good battery health. I bought an SE 2020 from Amazon Renewed for a backup phone and it had 92% battery health. Also, I would rate it cosmetically as 8/10 because it had one small scratch on the screen near the top. Other than that, there was not a mark on the phone. My screen protector covered the scratch, so actually the phone looks almost new. I would buy from Amazon again.

So I’d still have to replace the battery and possibly the screen. What’s that, like another $200-$250 CAD? Is it worth it? I genuinely dont know.
