The company also claims that all the refurbished iPhones sold on ControlZ will come with 100 per cent battery life with a like-new finish from inside out. According to ControlZ, increasing the life cycle of a device will reduce the carbon footprint of smartphone manufacturing.
When compared to other refurbished sellers, iPhones refurbished by ControlZ are “restored to perfection,” says the company. These iPhones are shipped in special packaging, which includes an adapter and a power cable.
As a part of the Undo Festival, the iPhone 7 will be available for just Rs 4,999, which usually sells for Rs 9,999. Similarly, the iPhone 8 with 128 GB of internal storage will sell for Rs 12,499, and the iPhone X will be available for Rs 14,999. If we look at the latest models, the iPhone 11, which is still eligible for another major iOS update will be available for just Rs 21,499 during the Undo Festival sale.
While these are clearly some great prices, please note that, if you are planning to buy a refurbished iPhone that will be used as a daily driver, consider the latest model. While devices like the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 8 might look enticing, given their discounted prices, due to their dated software and form factor, you might have to compromise on various aspects, such as performance and battery life.
