Premium Refurbished Devices

Swappie Sells Mint Refurbished iPhones to Promote a Circular Economy

— June 13, 2023 — Tech
Swappie, a supplier of refurbished iPhones, is expanding its product range to include premium mint refurbished handsets for consumers in the market for a cheaper device that still feels brand-new. The newly introduced 'Premium Series' caters to customers in search of refurbished devices that boast impeccable cosmetic conditions and optimal functionality. Consumers can also explore units with batteries exhibiting full capacity.

The collection significantly contributes to reducing environmental impact, as it generates approximately 78 percent fewer emissions compared to the purchase of a brand-new device.

“We’ve always made it imperative to listen to our customers, and over the years with this approach and through constant improvements in our offering we’ve gotten closer to them and made refurbished electronics a little bit more mainstream,” said Casper Andersen, Swappie’s Premium Series lead.

Swappie's 'Premium Series' is available across all countries where the brand operates.
