With the release of the iPhone in 2007, Apple redefined an entire class of devices. For the first time, cell phone customers held a fully-fledged small computer with telephone function in their hand. Above all, it was the secure operating system with the stably linked app store and the brilliantly functioning touchscreen control that made the first version of this phone an absolute sales success.
The Cupertino company sold around 2.8 million devices in its first year. In 2008, sales were already over 20 million units. In 2020, the total number delivered is over 1.7 billion units worldwide. The iPhone range has so far included more than two dozen device types.
Since 2007, the company with the apple logo has maintained its cycle of presenting its new phone product launches in September. The market launches are accompanied by regular operating system updates - usually also for older devices. It's not just the extremely high technical standards that make Apple devices so popular with customers - it's above all the good workmanship and the longevity of the products.
Well equipped with the iPhone XS
In technology forums, the very short product cycles are already being criticized from an environmental protection perspective. Added to this is the fact that even high-end cell phones no longer represent symbolic status today.
From the perspective of today's user, a smartphone should simply function well and, above all, optimally support the current software versions of WhatsApp, Telegram and Co. In this respect, the logical question arises as to whether it really needs to be a new phone every year. Prepaid customers, for example, decide very individually and precisely on technology and tariff. Here, looking at a refurbished iPhone is an excellent choice.
Refurbished products are up to 70 percent cheaper compared to buying new.
Completely overhauled by certified specialists, these devices not only look like new and have fresh batteries. They also offer a warranty of up to 36 months and a 14-day return period. The most popular refurbished iPhone is currently the iPhone XS .
Since its release in September 2018, the iPhone XS has been one of the most exciting phones in recent years.
Ergonomics, speed and connection and call quality are excellent.
The Super Retina HD OLED display, newly introduced in 2018, does a great job with extreme sharpness on the XS. Compared to the previous models, the battery life of the iPhone XS has also improved significantly. The built-in camera offers the best details and image quality with a 2 x 12 megapixel dual camera with wide-angle lens and telephoto lens. This is also achieved through the new Smart HDR function, which is available for the first time in the XS. Smart HDR offers better depth and highlight definition in difficult lighting situations.
The final images appear more harmonious and better lit than with the previous models. Face ID facial recognition has also been improved on the XS. The motto here is smoother, more precise and faster. An improvement in processor performance is visible in the gaming area of the iPhone XS. Otherwise, the XS processor is more of an evolution than a revolution.
Deciding on an iPhone XS is almost easy. If you can do without the night camera function of the new SE series, the XS is the best choice.
A refurbished iPhone XS is a real alternative. You don't just save money. It is also used as a gesture to our environment - because saving carbon dioxide and raw materials as well as reducing electronic waste concerns us all.
Broken cell phone but no money for a new one? This iPhone XS is affordable and refurbished.
