I bought my iphone 4 from Voda with plan and recently the home button didnt work so I took it to voda.
After 9days they replaced the phone (took so long for replacement!) and it looks like brand new but the staff said it's refurbished.

so what parts are new? is it just outer parts or inner part like battery?

many thanks for replies in advance.

Refurbished essentially means repaired, but refurbs can also be returned products from a change of mind, damaged boxes, etc.

Apple's refurbs are known to be very good quality as they go through some pretty stringent testing before being allowed to be resold. I've bought a couple of refurbished products from them before and they always look brand new.

So in your case it would be impossible to tell what's been replaced/fixed (if anything), as I'm assuming the phone you've got back isn't the same one you sent in for repair?

could be anything, could be nothing.

no way to find out.

Just curious, why do you want to know?

Had my 3GS replaced under warranty last year. Came with new back cover, bezel, screen and battery. Who knows, could have been all new.
