That usually indicates that the unit has been refurbished by someone other than Apple, at a facility approved by Apple. For warranty information, you will need to contact the retailer.

Yes it is. But, there is no way to know how old the device might be, or exactly what was done to the iPhone during the refurbishment process.


Does the seller offer a one year warranty on the iPhone?


Does the seller provide you with a 14 day money back guarantee, if you discover something unexpected about the phone?


If the answers to the two questions above are "no", my advice would be to not purchase the phone.
