Trust is Everything When Buying Pre-Owned

Buying a pre-owned iPhone or device can feel like a gamble — especially in a market where quality and transparency vary wildly. At iPoint, we believe that shouldn't be the case. That's why every pre-owned device we sell comes with a warranty, no exceptions.

Here's why we do it, and what it means for you as a buyer.

The Problem with the Pre-Owned Market

The UAE's secondary electronics market is large and growing — but it's also unregulated. Many sellers offer pre-owned iPhones with no grading system, no testing process, and no after-sale support. Buyers are left hoping the device works as described.

Common issues buyers face include:

• Hidden battery degradation (below 80% capacity)
• Undisclosed screen replacements with non-original parts
• Activation lock or iCloud lock issues
• Cosmetic damage not reflected in the listing
• No recourse if something goes wrong after purchase

The iPoint Difference: Graded, Tested, Warranted

Every pre-owned device at iPoint goes through a rigorous process before it reaches you:

1. Full diagnostic testing — We test every component: screen, battery, cameras, speakers, Face ID/Touch ID, charging port, and more
2. Honest grading — Devices are graded transparently (Grade A, B, etc.) so you know exactly what condition to expect
3. Battery health check — We only sell devices with acceptable battery health and disclose the percentage upfront
4. iCloud/activation lock cleared — Every device is fully unlocked and ready to use
5. Warranty included — Every device comes with an iPoint warranty for peace of mind after purchase

What Does the iPoint Warranty Cover?

Our warranty covers hardware defects and failures that arise under normal use — giving you a safety net that most pre-owned sellers simply don't offer. If something goes wrong within the warranty period, we'll repair or replace your device.

This is our commitment to standing behind every product we sell.

Why We Think Warranty Should Be Standard

We believe a warranty isn't a luxury — it's a baseline standard of trust. When you buy from iPoint, you're not just buying a device; you're buying confidence that the device will perform as described, and that we'll be there if it doesn't.

This is especially important for flagship devices like the iPhone 16 Pro Max or MacBook Pro, where the investment is significant.

How to Check Your Device's Authenticity

Before buying any pre-owned iPhone — from iPoint or anywhere else — always verify the device is genuine. Check the serial number on Apple's coverage checker and look for signs of non-original parts.
