Do Apple-refurbished iPhones come with old or current iOS?

I'm thinking of getting an Apple-refurbished iPhone, probably a model from a couple years ago. Does anyone know if Apple updates the iOS for those? Or does it depend on what the previous user had installed most recently? Thanks

You cannot know what iOS is installed on a refurbished phone until you buy the phone.


In general, you should assume that you will be updating the phone to the current iOS version when you receive the phone.
