What is refurbishing?
Retailers filter through defective items to ensure what goes back to the manufacturer can be restored to a good-as-new condition. All defective items are shipped back to a central processing point for technical identification and sorting. Each item is checked thoroughly to see if they can be saved and if so, they are repaired and new parts are added if needed to replace old ones. The item is cleaned, repackaged and shipped back to the retailer, with a “factory refurbished” label on it, allowing people to distinguish it from a brand-new item.
Refurbished vs. brand-new
Refurbished devices often sport the same features and quality as new ones. These are often immediate returns, which are tested to ensure that they are in working order before they are sent back to the retailer to be sold. Refurbished does not mean that it is used or defective, but when you shop for a refurbished device, always compare it to new, reconditioned and recertified devices with like features to make sure that you get the features you need.
4 Reasons why buy refurbished products?
1. Refurbished products are less expensive and prices can be as low as 80 percent below retail.
2. Purchasing refurbished products is beneficial to the environment as you prevent it from ending up in a landfill, thereby reducing electronic waste that contains toxic materials like cadmium and mercury.
3. More often than not, refurbished and recertified products offer the most benefits as they have been returned to the manufacturer for repair and further testing. If the device performs properly after testing, it is certified as good as new and returned to the market for sale.
4. Some refurbished electronics may come with same-as-new warranties. Understand whether the product is truly a refurbished electronic, and check the warranty carefully.

There is no plastic on the exterior of the iPhone 4, and the standard silver bezel that was the trim to all previous iPhones is now gone.
