New iPhone X Or Refurbished: Can You Spot The Difference?

What is the key difference between a brand new iPhone X and a refurbished one? A couple of hundred dollars, and a different perspective on life.

When is the last time you chose to buy a new smartphone or other hardware when a refurbished model would have offered a cheaper solution, and without any loss of quality?

We’ve all done it. And that is because refurbished tech still suffers from a stigma: that savings must come at a cost of quality. In France, 52% of consumers are sceptical of the reliability and quality of refurbished tech, according to Back Market, a large online marketplace for used tech. That’s obviously a problem for them.

Thankfully, Back Market teamed up with Paris-based creative agency Marcel, to launch a truly eye-opening campaign on the back of Apple’s famous “Shot on iPhone” campaign. The core message is very simple: the money you can save by choosing a refurbished model will translate to an immediate change of perspective. Pure genius.
