Sep 15, 2016 10:26 PM in response to konikiby Ingo2711,Only Apple knows if the devices are new or have been refurbished. Some users even prefer to get a refurbished unit, because Apple techs replaced all "used" parts like buttons, battery, screen etc. with brand new ones and examined the phone again after that, to make sure it meets the standards.
I had to get two devices replaced in the past and I could not tell the difference between factory new or refurbished, both are still working without any issues.
