WANT and Swappie are giving away an iPhone worth 359

WANT and Swappie are giving away an iPhone (worth $359) next week

It’s March 18, 2023, a day known as World Recycling Day. After all, recycling old products is hugely important and we can’t stress that enough. That’s why we’re taking this opportunity, together with Swappie, to teach you a thing or two AND give away a refurbished iPhone.

The reason we do this has to do with a number of misunderstandings. Consumers often don’t see the great importance of turning in an old iPhone or Android smartphone. On the other hand, something negative hangs over the term “refurbished. Time to prove them wrong.

Swappie proves the value of a refurbished iPhone

Surely Swappie belongs to one of the parties offering refurbished phones in the Netherlands. The mission is therefore to find a qualitative and environmentally friendly way to make used phones a lot better.

It is a pity that in the Netherlands this issue is looked at a bit negatively. People quickly see a refurbished phone as the same as a used phone. There is certainly nothing wrong with that, but the quality really is considerably better.

A refurbished iPhone is more than a used phone an sich. In fact, it is actually as good as new. This is due to the fact that important parts, such as the battery, may be replaced before an iPhone or Android phone finds its new owner AND the device goes through a thorough 52-point check.

So think of it a bit like second-hand 2.0, but incredibly well-executed. It’s awesome.

World Recycling Day 2023

World Recycling Day 2023 is the perfect time to explain why this is such a good thing. Because at first, due to transportation and assembly, it actually seems more environmentally unfriendly than buying a used appliance.

However, what people usually forget is that an iPhone or Android phone that has undergone the treatment lasts a lot longer than the model purchased second-hand. Which of course is caused by the newer components.

If you compare the device to a brand new model, the difference seems obvious. Producing and transporting a new iPhone obviously costs much more.
