Pre-owned iPhone FAQs
What does โpre-owned iPhoneโ mean at Epic Deals?
Pre-owned (also called second-hand or used) iPhones are previously owned Apple phones sold with a clear condition grade and functional notes on the listing. Most stock is tested and, where needed, refurbished in-house by Epic Deals โ not Apple Certified Pre-Owned unless the listing explicitly says it is true manufacturer CPO. See also buying a CPO iPhone in South Africa.
Are pre-owned iPhones in South Africa safe to buy online?
Buy from a seller that shows grade, known faults, and a support path before you pay. Epic Deals lists condition on each product page, ships within South Africa with tracking, and backs eligible devices with the warranty shown on the listing. Change-of-mind returns: within 7 days of receipt (handling/shipping may be deducted per return policy). Transit damage: report within 2 working days.
Do second-hand iPhones come with a warranty?
Yes โ the warranty period is shown on each product (typically 3, 6 or 12 months; longer only if the listing says so). It covers qualifying faults/defects under our return policy, not accidental or liquid damage. How to claim: log a return on the website within the warranty window; valid claims include free collection. Details: return policy.
How are used iPhones tested before sale?
Our tech team tests devices before listing, including battery health, screen, cameras, Face ID / biometrics, buttons, and charging. Failures or limitations (Face ID, NFC, display notes, etc.) are disclosed on the product title or description and reflected in the price.
Whatโs the difference between Pristine, Excellent, Good, Fair, and as-is?
Grading on Epic Deals buy listings describes cosmetics and known function. Always read the product page โ the listing (including any faults in the title) is the source of truth.
- Pristine: Nearly new. At most the lightest marks on close inspection. Fully working unless the listing says otherwise.
- Excellent: Light cosmetic wear only. Fully working unless the listing says otherwise.
- Good: Normal everyday wear. Fully working unless the listing says otherwise. Most of our stock.
- Fair: Heavier cosmetic wear or more visible marks. Working unless the listing says otherwise.
- As-is / fault-called: Not a cosmetic grade. The title discloses specific faults (for example Face ID, NFC, or display notes). It is often paired with a cosmetic grade above.
How long does delivery take for an iPhone in South Africa?
Free courier across South Africa. Typical timing: 1โ2 working days to major cities; 2โ4 working days to outlying areas. Weekdays only. You get a tracking number when the parcel leaves us.
Can I sell or trade in my iPhone while buying a pre-owned one?
Yes. Get a sell/trade offer via /sell/ (and related sell flows). We arrange collection, test the device against your description, and pay by EFT or offer store credit options as described on the sell pages. Concurrent buy + trade credit: follow the sell funnel instructions at checkout / sales team.
Why do โpre owned iphoneโ searches show different prices?
Price varies by model, storage, cosmetic grade, and known faults (Face ID, NFC, display, etc.). Compare the live product card on Epic Deals, not a generic SERP price.
๐ฑ Why We Believe in Second-Hand Tech
Second-hand isnโt second-best. Itโs smart. Itโs sustainable. And it helps South Africans save.
Tech depreciates fast โ especially in the first 6 months. By shopping second-hand, you keep more money in your pocket while still getting the performance you need. With the rising cost of living, itโs never been more important to get more for less.
Plus, buying used devices reduces e-waste and keeps great tech in circulation. So itโs good for your wallet and the planet.
