Why Buy Refurbished?

The rumor mill churns at full speed every time we approach the season of upgrades, aka the launch of a shiny new iPhone. Those smooth, gleaming edges, the sleek stainless body, the premium feel, and an aura so powerful, you can hear the silence at Apple Park. It’s definitely tempting. But at what cost? An upward of A$1699 for an A16 Bionic chip instead of the A15 in the iPhone 13 and the A14 in the iPhone 12? That’s a steep investment for most users, especially parents and caregivers. And if you’re a regular with Apple events and read up on the spec details for most releases, you understand the concept of incremental improvements quite well 😉. Whether you need these barely-there intangible changes in exchange for a hefty A$1600+ investment, is a decision only you can make. However, in a world where we want our customers to make smart, planet-friendly choices, we encourage you to think twice before deciding. The decision we’ve made, you ask? iPhone 13 more than suffices for the basic as well as the not-so-basic needs of casual users. It offers inexpensive value with exceptional features, especially if you’ve been eyeing it for a quick, affordable, and meaningful upgrade in the refurbished market. The iPhone 13 and Its Seasoned Specs - Appreciated and Inherited by iPhone 15 Seasoned - perhaps, the best way to describe iPhone 13 and its value proposition. Been there, done that, seen the world - this one knows exactly what you like and need. It’s tried, tested, and reliable. It’s money well spent. Rumor mill aside, critics claim that the iPhone 13 is one of the most reliable upgrade options in the market today. From specs, features, and design to the size and color options - you will not be left yearning for more. Let’s take a closer look at the seasoned specs sported by the 13 series. Rumor has it that the 15th series siblings will also be inheriting them ☑️. Excellent OLED Display At the end of the day, it’s all about the screen. Isn’t it? The clarity, brightness, sharp contrast, and too-good-to-be-true colors - that’s what you interact with day in and day out. That’s the true upgrade you’re looking for. Well lucky for you, the brilliant Super Retina XDR OLED Displays on the 13th-gen will stay the same on the new release. A resolution of 2532 x 1179 and a refresh rate of 60Hz - the highest in the entire Apple lineup. iPhone 13 boasts a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio for blacks and whites and a peak brightness of 1200 nits. Streaming movies and TV shows? It’s the best of the best. Going up that hike for pictures of the Pacific? Experience the Edge of Intelligent Photography with the 12MP dual lens. A15 Performance Levels The iPhone 15 will likely boast the A16 bionic chip compared to the A15 in the iPhone 13. However, when pitting these two powerhouses against each other, observing a tangible difference is unrealistic. It goes without saying that upgrading to any device in the 15-gen lineup will deliver exceptional performance. The processor will be capable of handling intense multitasking while delivering the best speeds and load times. Therefore, searching for a faster and smoother smartphone experience is, perhaps, not reason enough to spend a fortune for the latest launch. Upgrading to a refurbished iPhone 13, starting at A$888, or an iPhone 12, starting at A$607, will give you inexpensive value plus performance longevity - making your investment worthwhile. The 12MP Front Camera Rumor has it that the 15th Gen will see back camera updates, however, the front 12MP lens will remain the same. Say hello to crisp selfies and high Facetime quality. It’s a standout feature of the iPhone 13 series that has made communication and connectivity all the more pleasant. The iPhone 13 and Its Hidden Gems - Features You’ll Love Not a new release but undoubtedly boasts the ‘wow’ factor - that’s the iPhone 13 for y’all. If you’re still looking for reasons to opt for a sustainable upgrade with this model, you’ll be surprised to know that there are plenty of ‘hidden’ or unexplored features to discover. With 73% of smartphone users simply using their devices for texting and picture-taking - exploring innovative features and off-the-beaten-path functionality can elevate user experience and give you so much more value for your investment. You’d want to pin these on a trusty post-it 📒 Back-tap Gestures A feature you may not have heard or used is the Back-tap Gesture on the iPhone 13. With a few changes in settings, you can map an action to the back of the phone and access features like taking screenshots, turning on the torch, or opening the camera. It’s a neat little trick that adds a ton of one-hand functionality and ease for the users with a double or triple tap gesture. Simply follow these steps to activate it: Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap → Double Tap or Triple Tap. Calming Background Sounds You can also use your refurbished iPhone 13 upgrade to play calming background noises to relieve stress and improve concentration. Choose from a variety of options like rain, ocean, or white noise. Simply follow these steps to activate it: Settings → Accessibility → Audio/Visual → Background Sounds. Live Text Feature The Live Text feature on iPhone 13 uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to pinpoint text from images. Once extracted, this text can be copied, translated, or shared, Simply follow these steps to extract live text: Settings → Camera → Show Detected Text (ON) FaceTime Eye Contact Not sure where to look while video calling? Quit worrying about eye content with the FaceTime Eye Contact toggle. Whether you’re looking directly at the lens or not, this handy feature creates an illusion that your eyes are focused on the speaker. Simply follow these steps to activate it: Settings → FaceTime → Eye Contact Swipe-Up Captions Taken a bunch of photos with your refurbished iPhone 13? The Captions feature makes photography fun and interesting. Without downloading third-party apps, you can now add captions and doodles to the pictures with a simple gesture. Simply swipe up on each picture or video to see the collection of fun elements to add. Hide Away Apps Don’t want to see some apps on your screen? You can easily hide them by clicking ‘Remove App’ from the quick actions menu, and then selecting the ‘Move to Library’ option. The iPhone 13 and Its Inexpensive Value Refurbished iPhone upgrades are a great example of inexpensive value - a concept we talk about often. Instead of settling for a model that doesn’t deliver or overspending on one that doesn’t provide enough tangible benefits - you get to invest in one that gives you the best value for your money. The internet is buzzing with leaked pictures and speculative rumors about the iPhone 15. There’s no dearth of information. You’ll find plenty of comparisons and wishlists, and we’ll see what the fuss is all about come September 12th, 2023. However, we can say with absolute confidence that these upgrades don’t make much of a difference from a practical standpoint. They’re aspirational and nice to have - but will not bring a tangible change to the performance or perks of the iPhone 13 and 14 series. So, the question now is, will the iPhone 13 be good enough for you?

Looking for a top-quality screen without the top dollar spend? Refurbished monitors are the right choice for you. While many don’t think of ‘refurbished’ when they’re shopping around for monitors, you’ll be surprised to see the vast collection of home, office, and gaming monitors available in the market. What should you look out for? What will make this purchase wise? And really, what does a refurbished monitor even mean? We’re taking you for a deep dive to clarify these concepts and make this decision easier. Let’s go. What is a Refurbished Monitor? What are refurbished or renewed monitors and is it safe to buy them? This a very common question in the preloved tech industry, especially for those who’ve never purchased from it before. Refurbished monitors are devices that were opened but returned to the seller for a variety of reasons. From a faulty part, which was later fixed, to a simple change of heart - these returned monitors are usually as good as new with minimal use or wear and tear. To understand the condition of the preloved monitor, a grade is assigned to each. On Reebelo, you’ll find these screens from Good, Very Good, and Excellent, all the way to Pristine. Do keep in mind that these gradings only apply to the outward aesthetics and not to the internal health. So, why should you try refurbished monitors? Hmm, let’s see: Monitors are expensive screens. They’re investments really. Buying refurbished means you can get a bigger, better screen for less money. Instead of settling for a 19-inch, you could potentially upgrade to a 27-inch with a few extra bucks. Refurbished monitors are guaranteed to be 100% functional. They’re put on the resale market after strict quality controls and thorough repair. For instance, every seller on Reeblo’s tech marketplace is required to pass these monitors through 70+ quality checks. They’re then buffed, cleaned, and tested with automated troubleshooting software. It’s an intense process that vets the very best of devices before putting them up for resale. You get more to choose from in the refurbished monitors market. If a particular model is no longer manufactured or has a long lead time to be restocked, you have a higher chance of finding it refurbished at an affordable price. Should You Buy Refurbished Monitors? Top Factors to Consider. Warranty Coverage & Returns It’s important to spend some time understanding the warranty offered on refurbished tech. When you decide to spend on a screen like a refurbished Dell monitor, it helps to know whether or not you have buyer protection. As a best practice, Reebelo offers two tiers of warranty coverage for shoppers. Vendor Warranty: The vendor warranty is similar to the manufacturer warranty. It covers specs or parts damage for 12 months and can be utilized if your refurbished Apple monitor, for instance, stops working within this period. Extended Warranty: Extended warranty with ReebloCare is an added benefit offered to our customers. It includes an extension of the vendor warranty for another 12 months + coverage for accidental spills, drops, and other mishaps you may encounter. For a nominal fee of A$59.00, you can extend the lifespan of this Samsung monitor and enjoy your purchase fully. Price Competitiveness When you scour the refurbished market for monitors, you automatically assume that these products will be cheaper than brand-new ones. And they are. But how much cheaper or more competitive is this price? Let’s do a quick assessment to ensure you’re getting the best value for money. Apple iMac Retina 5K 2019 27” has a price tag of A$2999 on Apple Insider. The same refurbished monitor on Reebelo is available for A$1599 in excellent condition - that’s 50% less than retail. This is an extremely competitive price, for a product that will be a useful investment for your home office for years to come. Product, Service, or Seller Reviews Paying attention to reviews is important. Reviews range from product specifications, and service offered, to the seller in general. At Reebelo we lay emphasis on the spoken word because leaving customers happy is part of a happier, healthier planet. And we strive for that every day. This aspect of preloved shopping becomes even more important if you’re purchasing a refurbished gaming monitor, for instance. It’s a screen where you just can’t go wrong - well because nothing beats an ecstatic gaming experience on a larger-than-life display. When you choose a product and browse through our collection, take a look at the reviews buyers leave so you can purchase with complete confidence 😀 Where to Buy Refurbished Monitors? Where to buy refurbished monitors so you get the best service, a generous 14-day return policy, and a comprehensive warranty? The short answer: a trustworthy seller. Sellers who have vetted refurbishing partners ensure that every device goes through rigorous testing and that only the best ones are put on the market. The term certified refurbished holds importance here. It means all the techniques and processes used to restore tech back to working order are approved and follow industry standards. Once testing is complete, these monitors are given the certified refurbished grading. Are You Ready to Invest in Refurbished Monitors? So, is it safe to buy refurbished monitors? Is it a worthwhile investment? We say yes, and hope we’ve convinced you with with above information. At Reebelo, we encourage you to give refurbished a try to make smarter choices for your tech and the planet.

Think of your refurbished gaming console as any other electrical equipment like a preloved iPhone 11, a laptop, or a refurbished computer monitor. Every now and then, you take time to untangle the wires, wipe the screens, and use that silly little putty to pull out debris and dust stuck between the keys. All for these refurbished electronics to work better and last longer. The refurbished PlayStation 5 you just invested in requires similar upkeep so it can keep giving you the best gaming experience for years to come. Top 6 Tips to Take Care of a Refurbished PlayStation 5 Console At Reebelo, we don’t shy away from claiming that certified refurbished tech can be as good and exciting as new.

Keep it Clean & Dry It’s imperative that you keep your refurbished PlayStation 5 clean and dry. Avoid placing liquids in close proximity because accidental spills can cause havoc within the internal machinery. Just like you take care of your refurbished laptop or MacBook, a gaming console requires the same upkeep. A clean and dry exterior and interior will ensure all components work perfectly. Give it a Spacious Home Atop the fireplace? Or the coziest corner of your game room shelf? Yes, please. Nestled between piles of laundry? No, thank you. A prized possession like your refurbished PlayStation 5 requires a flat, spacious home where it can function without overheating. Make sure there is enough room around the console, with vents staying exposed at all times and no direct sunlight. Another consideration to keep in mind is limiting movement. The less you move it around, the lower the chances of damaging, dropping, or denting it. Love the Vents & Ports Ever considered deep cleaning your refurbished gaming console? It’s a thing. A very wise thing. A simple blow and puff of air is often not enough to get all the dust, germs, and bacteria out of small spaces like ports and air vents.

They use expert technology to clean out the crevices within the console body that collect dust, pet hair, food crumbs, and dirt.

Take Software Updates Seriously How often we do see the ‘update’ notification and leave it pending for days and weeks? Time to act on it.

That’s two grand out of your pocket in a jiffy. This is where considering a refurbished MacBook Pro is a wise decision - especially because it gives the same features and benefits for a much lower price. Reebelo has a vast collection of refurbished Apple MacBooks for sale.

The refurbished market lets you make these choices with a comfortable budget in hand. Instead of settling for a base model, you can decide which configurations best suit your profession, workload, and lifestyle. You get a device that’s vetted. Not one. But Twice.

That’s why we offer buyer protection: a 12-month warranty, free delivery, and absolutely free returns. You get a vetted, 100% functional refurbished MacBook Pro and we get happy customers.

Dell vs. HP Refurbished Computer Monitor - What’s the Best Pick?

The short answer: Yes. The long answer: You don’t need one. It’s a Yes. There’s no two ways about it. We love refurbished AirPods. Our global, hybrid team uses them daily to drown out the loud lawn mower or to resist the temptation to join in on the laughter coming from our office kitchen. What can we say- they’re a lifesaver and an investment that doesn’t require you to spend a fortune. So, whether you’re curious to just see what ‘as new’ looks like or simply need to upgrade your earphones to these sleek, wireless ones - buying refurbished AirPods is a smart decision. Not only does it help you save up to 40% off retail, it also makes you a responsible, well-informed global citizen looking out for the planet. It’s a win-win. Now, fair warning. Not all ‘refurbished tech’ is the same. You usually find us talking about the benefits of refurbished technology and all the perks you get when buying from Reebelo. Today, we want to turn the tables and talk about what NOT to settle for when refurbished AirPods are on your mind. It’s interesting, stay tuned! 3 Red Flags to Watch Out for When Buying Refurbished Apple AirPods Dirty Ear Tips. You signed up for refurbs. Not dirty. There’s a big difference. The biggest red flag to watch out for when buying used AirPods is a lack of hygiene. For a device that is worn inside the ear, it is a no-brainer that the cleaning process has to be intense. Make sure you peer inside the ear tips, feel the mesh to ensure it’s cleaned up, and check the ear tip lining to spot any unpleasant gunk. There should be none. When you buy reconditioned AirPods from a certified and vetted seller, there should be no ‘icky’ feeling as you unbox the earphones and examine them from all angles. The only feeling you should be supporting is excitement to give your smart purchase a test run. And that’s a guarantee with the detailed sanitization, cleaning, and buffing Reebelo’s certified refurbishers have in place. P.S. Our refurbished Apple AirPods come with silicone ear tips so you can adjust the size based on your requirements and clean them out when needed. Clean & Shiny But Duped. With tech dupes now widely available, it’s always worth your while to test products thoroughly. While it may look clean and shiny, is the sound quality satisfactory? A few tips we always keep in mind to spot refurbished, original AirPods from dupes are: Pair and check the alert on your iPhone. All systems, from iOS 16 onwards, have a feature to detect fake paired devices. If this particular pair is not original, you’ll see a pop-up message ‘Cannot Verify AirPods.’ Verify the serial number on the box and do the same in your iPhone settings as well. You can find more information about serial numbers on Apple’s support page. Examine the packaging. Original Apple packaging is made of high-quality, recyclable materials. There are no spelling mistakes on the text and the box definitely doesn’t feel like cheap cardboard. Trust the details. Compare your purchase to the original photos on Apple’s website. Some replica cases have extra vents, come in colors not advertised by the brand, and need permission to connect each time you open the case. These tiny details make a brand like Reebelo trustworthy. P.S. There is nothing wrong with using dupes. As long as that's what you wanted and paid for. Expired Warranty. Warranty. It’s the Fairy Godmother of refurbished tech. Always there, watching over it. So if you find out post-purchase that you’ve been left hanging high and dry without any cover, *poof* your fairy godmother has disappeared. This doesn’t have to be the case. Certified sellers who only partner with vetted refurbishers will always offer a 14-day return window, a 12-month warranty, and an option for an extended warranty at a nominal fee. This comprehensive cover, and honoring it, is what makes the refurbished industry a front-runner in consumer decision-making. We suggest carrying out an extensive search for questions like ‘do refurbished AirPods come with a warranty’, and the many sellers who offer it before you finalize your purchase. Do You Love Your Refurbished AirPods? If you ordered these refurbished AirPods to see firsthand what ‘as new’ looks like, we hope you’re loving your purchase. Once you have them in your hand, you’ll see there’s really nothing to worry about. If you’re buying from a trusted refurb tech platform like Reebelo, you’re protected with a 12-month warranty, and if you’re still not satisfied, you get 14 days to return them for a full refund. See, nothing to be afraid of. We got your back.

Should You Buy Refurbished AirPods? 3 Red Flags to Watch Out For

It’s arm candy. It’s a lifesaver. It’s one of the only machines you need in your life. What is it? It's none other than a refurbished Apple laptop. The sleek, modern aluminum unibodies are tempting. The rounded edges and minimalist, clean looks - definitely a tease. But the price tag? Not a big deal now that you know about Reebelo - a trusted marketplace for certified refurbished laptops. If you’re buying a MacBook for school or work for the first time (yay, happy graduation day!), there’s a lot you have to consider to ensure you invest in the right device for your needs. Grab your trusty notepad - we’re here to help you navigate the various options available to choose your first refurbished Apple laptop. Top 6 Factors To Help You Choose Your Refurbished Apple Laptop What Do You Need it For? What will you be using it for? Are you looking for a cheap MacBook for school or college? Will your primary use be completing assignments, making presentations, and staying up to date with your classmates via email? If so, a fast performer like the MacBook Air (M1, Late 2020) is a great option. On the other hand, if you’re a power user who will multitask all day, consider investing in a MacBook Pro. This lineup from Apple has higher, professional-grade performance with an 18% faster CPU and a 40% stronger internal processing architecture. An excellent choice worth investigating would be the MacBook Pro 2022 13.3”. Reebelo Tip: A useful way to determine the right fit between need and performance is to compare each device's RAM and storage. 8GB RAM is good for everyday use whereas a graphic designer who uses multiple apps may require 16GB. For storage, 256GB may be fine for most users, however, investing in 1TB can ensure your device stays at its optimum and reduces the need for external hard drives. What’s Your Budget At Reebelo, we guarantee a safety net for our customers with detailed return and refund policies while keeping prices of refurbished laptops up to 40% less than retail. With no compromise on quality, we bring you only the best choices from certified refurbishers. So, as you decide on a budget for your first refurbished Apple laptop, rest assured you will find a wide selection at every price point. From a starting price of A$399 for this MacBook Air 2012 13.3" to A$3649 for one of the latest MacBook Pro 2023 16" models. Reebelo Tip: When deciding your budget, go back to point #1 and think about your usage. If the biggest chunk of your usage, and pleasure, comes from binge-watching pantry organizing videos (guilty as charged…), a $1500 laptop isn’t really a good fit! What Screen Size Do You Want? At first, this may not seem like a make-or-break when considering which refurbished Apple laptop to buy. But trust us, you want to take it into account. Apple MacBooks come in a variety of screen sizes - from 11” to 15.5”. If you’re an avid traveler, a more compact screen like the MacBook Air 2013 13.3" will be the best choice. On the other hand, if you work with video editing or gaming software, a bigger 15” screen may serve you better. Reebelo Tip: Screen size also determines the quality of the screen. Hi-Res and Retina displays require technology that some smaller screens may not have. Something to consider as you reach for the measuring tape! How Much Battery Life Do You Want? Most refurbished Apple laptops have all-day battery life. You can carry them around as you go about your day without needing a charger to top it up. Factors that affect how much juice your laptop will consume include the strength of the CPU and the efficiency of the battery. If you’re always on the go and need your laptop to be wireless for long hours - we’d recommend the refurbished 13-inch MacBook Pro (M2, 2022) any day! The 58.2-watt-hour lithium-ion battery on this beast gives 17 hours of wireless web and 20 hours of Apple TV movie playback. Simply unmatched! Reebelo Tip: We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again - responsible charging has a huge impact on your MacBook’s battery life. Completely draining the battery and charging overnight are some habits that negatively impact even the strongest of lithium cells. Is Connectivity Important to You? Are you planning to connect multiple devices to your refurbished Apple laptop? Just like MacBooks are available in different screen sizes, every model also has slight variations in port availability. The 15” MacBook Pro (2015) is one such example. This notebook comes with all the ports you and your family may be familiar with. You can connect and integrate multiple devices using the selection of thunderbolts and USB slots. Reebelo Tip: Again, port connectivity isn’t something you’d be thinking about actively. We suggest you list the activities you will be doing with your laptop to make sure your purchase is truly an investment. Do You Want a Light Apple Laptop? One of the lightest Apple Laptop around is the MacBook Air 2020. Weighing 1.29 kgs, you’ll forget it’s even in your backpack all day long. It’s a great addition to your travel arsenal, especially if you are on the go all the time. However, do keep in mind that the lighter the laptop, the fewer ports it will house to keep the internal structure thin. Reebelo Tip: Your pick might be light, but it will not be any less sturdy. A ton of engineering and finesse goes into keeping these modern laptops sleek but also strong enough to be your daily grind partners. So pick away! Is a Refurbished MacBook Worth It? A refurbished MacBook is definitely worth considering. Depending on the model and condition of the device, you can save between 10-40% off the original price with Reebelo’s special deals. When buying a thoroughly vetted refurbished MacBook, you can take advantage of our 14-day return window, extended warranty periods, fast delivery, and a wide selection of products and vendors - all with a few clicks. You can proudly own a refurbished Apple laptop that looks great and works perfectly without spending a fortune!

It’s arm candy. It’s a lifesaver. It’s one of the only machines you need in your life. What is it? It's none other than <a href="https://reebelo.com.au/blogs/news/is-a-used-macbook-pro-a-good-investment">a refurbished Apple laptop</a>.
The sleek, modern aluminum unibodies are tempting. The rounded edges and minimalist, clean looks - definitely a tease. But the price tag? Not a big deal now that you know about Reebelo - a trusted marketplace for certified refurbished laptops.

From a starting price of A$399 for this <a href="https://reebelo.com.au/collections/apple-macbook-air-2012-13-3-inch">MacBook Air 2012 13.3"</a> to A$3649 for one of the latest <a href="https://reebelo.com.au/collections/apple-macbook-pro-2023-16-inch">MacBook Pro 2023 16"</a> models. 
Reebelo Tip: When deciding your budget, go back to point #1 and think about your usage. If the biggest chunk of your usage, and pleasure, comes from binge-watching pantry organizing videos (guilty as charged…), a $1500 laptop isn’t really a good fit! 
<h3>What Screen Size Do You Want?</h3>
At first, this may not seem like a make-or-break when considering which refurbished Apple laptop to buy. But trust us, you want to take it into account. Apple MacBooks come in a variety of screen sizes - from 11” to 15.5”.
If you’re an avid traveler, a more compact screen like the <a href="https://reebelo.com.au/collections/apple-macbook-air-2013-13-3-inch">MacBook Air 2013 13.3"</a> will be the best choice. On the other hand, if you work with video editing or gaming software, a bigger 15” screen may serve you better.
Reebelo Tip: Screen size also determines the quality of the screen. Hi-Res and Retina displays require technology that some smaller screens may not have. Something to consider as you reach for the measuring tape!
<h3>How Much Battery Life Do You Want?</h3>
Most refurbished Apple laptops have all-day battery life. You can carry them around as you go about your day without needing a charger to top it up. Factors that affect how much juice your laptop will consume include the strength of the CPU and the efficiency of the battery. 
If you’re always on the go and need your laptop to be wireless for long hours - we’d recommend the refurbished <a href="https://reebelo.com.au/collections/apple-macbook-pro-2022-13-3-inch?storage=2TB&amp;color=Space+Grey&amp;cpu=Apple+M2+Chip+8+Core+CPU&amp;ram=24GB&amp;condition=Pristine&amp;mvno=">13-inch MacBook Pro (M2, 2022)</a> any day! The 58.2-watt-hour lithium-ion battery on this beast gives 17 hours of wireless web and 20 hours of Apple TV movie playback. Simply unmatched! 
Reebelo Tip: We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again - responsible charging has a huge impact on your MacBook’s battery life. Completely draining the battery and charging overnight are some habits that negatively impact even the strongest of lithium cells.  
<h3>Is Connectivity Important to You?</h3>
Are you planning to connect multiple devices to your refurbished Apple laptop? Just like MacBooks are available in different screen sizes, every model also has slight variations in port availability.
The <a href="https://reebelo.com.au/collections/apple-macbook-pro-2015-15-4-inch">15” MacBook Pro (2015)</a> is one such example. This notebook comes with all the ports you and your family may be familiar with. You can connect and integrate multiple devices using the selection of thunderbolts and USB slots.
Reebelo Tip: Again, port connectivity isn’t something you’d be thinking about actively. We suggest you list the activities you will be doing with your laptop to make sure your purchase is truly an investment. 
<h3>Do You Want a Light Apple Laptop? </h3>
One of the lightest Apple Laptop around is the <a href="https://reebelo.com.au/collections/apple-macbook-air-2020-m1-13-3-inch">MacBook Air 2020</a>. Weighing 1.29 kgs, you’ll forget it’s even in your backpack all day long. It’s a great addition to your travel arsenal, especially if you are on the go all the time. 
However, do keep in mind that the lighter the laptop, the fewer ports it will house to keep the internal structure thin.
Reebelo Tip: Your pick might be light, but it will not be any less sturdy. A ton of engineering and finesse goes into keeping these modern laptops sleek but also strong enough to be your daily grind partners. So pick away! 
<h2>Is a Refurbished MacBook Worth It?</h2>
A refurbished MacBook is definitely worth considering. Depending on the model and condition of the device, you can save between 10-40% off the original price with Reebelo’s special deals.
When buying a thoroughly vetted refurbished MacBook, you can take advantage of our 14-day return window, extended warranty periods, fast delivery, and a wide selection of products and vendors - all with a few clicks. 
You can proudly own a refurbished Apple laptop that looks great and works perfectly without spending a fortune!

6 Criteria To Consider Before Buying Your First Refurbished Apple Laptop 

Marking our calendars for World Ocean Day on June 8th, we can’t imagine a better topic to talk about than Carbon Capture and Sequestering (CCS). An innovative waste management technique that uses the power of our majestic oceans to reduce carbon impact on the environment. The ‘One Ocean, One Climate, One Future - Together’ mandate unites all our efforts to rescue the planet, with all resources pitching in. The vast, blue oceans in this context serve as absorbers and reservoirs of responsibly stored carbon emissions. But how are these emissions extracted and taken deep into the sea? When you think about sustainable practices, the first question that comes to mind is, ‘what makes Carbon Capture and Sequestration a viable solution?’ What is Carbon Capture and Sequestration? Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) are two complementing processes. The first refers to trapping carbon as soon as it is emitted, but before it reaches the atmosphere. Sequestration, on the other hand, extracts carbon emissions that are already present in the environment. Together, this sustainable carbon management technology reduces the presence of the gas by utilizing ocean beds as safe havens. Large amounts of carbon are captured, compressed into liquids, and transported via pipelines and tankers to designated Carbon Sinks. Carbon sinks like forests, soil, and ocean bodies are areas that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for their own survival. However, due to the exponential rise in carbon emissions, as pointed out by the sustainable refurbished tech industry, the balance between emission and absorption has been upset for quite some time. Actively drawing out carbon through CCS and depositing it in our oceans aims to speed up this process. Phytoplanktons, commonly known as microscopic marine algae and bacteria, are responsible for absorbing a quarter of all carbon emissions since the Industrial Revolution. World Ocean Day initiatives like an end to plastic pollution feed into prolonged carbon absorption by keeping our oceans healthy. A balanced ocean environment is key to ensuring carbon absorption and sequestration carries on at an accelerated pace. Therefore, Carbon Capture and Sequestration takes top spot in the list of environmental solutions that can help reduce carbon emissions from devices like smartphones. The CSS Map - Global Carbon Capture and Sequestration Efforts Some notable global efforts towards Carbon Capture and Sequestration include: In 2019, Australia pledged A$50 million towards CCS projects. In 2020 it increased this allocation to A$263.7 million for both, onshore and offshore capture and storage. Some prominent projects include those in Moomba, South Australia, the Darling Basin region in NSW, and Bonaparte Basin. Between 2008 - 2018, Canada allocated $1.8 billion for CSS efforts. The most prominent programs include the Federal Government's Clean Energy Fund, Boundary Dam and Alberta's Carbon Capture and Storage Fund. The Abu Dhabi CSS Project in UAE aims to capture 0.8 million tons of carbon annually and use it for oil recovery processes. The Petrobras Lula Oil Field in Brazil is an offshore facility capturing and storing 0.7 million tons of carbon every year. One Ocean, One Climate, One Future - Where is Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) Headed? The success of CCS on small scale samples has been notable. And to make it a mainstream technology in the sustainable and green space, CCS will gain the most from being added to the Inflation Reduction Act, which will reduce cost sensitivity associated with it. From acquiring large, expensive equipment to setting up the enormous facilities needed to carry out capture procedures, this law can be a monumental positive change in sustainability circles. It's a critical step to ensuring countries around the world meet their net zero targets and are able to speed up the transition to renewable sources of power.

Does Carbon Capture & Sequestration Make Our Planet Greener?

The word ‘carbon emissions’ doesn't really conjure up the image of a sleek, shiny, immaculately packaged tech gadget. Traditionally, we’ve been tuned to associate carbon with transportation, oil & gas. Little do we realize that our everyday electronics release worrying quantities of carbon as we go about our daily grind. The combined carbon footprint of devices like laptops, smartphones, tablets, and PCs has grown exponentially in the last few years. According to the Journal of Cleaner Production, it will increase to 14% by 2040, a sharp rise from 1% in 2007. At Reebelo, we’re committed to bringing these numbers down by encouraging the use of refurbished tech within the circular economy. And in honor of World Environment Day 2023, we’re unraveling what carbon footprint is, how it relates to your favorite refurbished or new phones, and what can be done to positively impact our environment. Simply put, carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide released by your favorite electronics in the atmosphere - starting from manufacturing and usage, all the way to disposing them responsibly. Top 3 Ways Buying Refurbished Makes a Difference Since 90% of these emissions are released before devices leave a factory, you can make a difference by considering and purchasing refurbished tech. Let’s explore three ways in which reconditioned technology can help lower your carbon footprint. Reduced emission-intensive mining & manufacturing We’ve previously talked about the emission-intensive manufacturing process for hi-tech gadgets on our blog. A quick recap, a smartphone: Requires mining of roughly 10% glass and ceramics, 60% metals, and 30% plastics. Releases 170.4lbs of carbon emissions Uses 77,000 liters of water Creates 6.29oz of e-waste Takes $500+ out of your pocket! Extensive research at MacMaster University, Canada shows that the emissions from cell phone manufacturing, in particular, have surpassed all expectations. They grew by a staggering 730%, growing from 17 megatons to 125 megatons a year. That’s the lion’s share compared to any other devices we use on a daily basis. What does it take to play your part in turning these extravagant figures around? Buying a 100% functional, like-new refurbished phone instead. It's a win-win 🙌 Extending the life of a fully functioning device A device manufactured after intensive research, mining, and extraction of materials should be used to its fullest. When used responsibly, a phone’s life can be extended well beyond the 2-year mark. When buying refurbished, you limit your carbon footprint by giving a second chance to a perfectly functioning iPhone or MacBook Pro. Studies have shown that extending the lifespan of a smartphone by only 2 more years helps balance the environment 50% better. That’s exactly what refurbishing does. Moreover, using your device longer means you get the most value out of the emissions. Now that’s a small price to pay for a better, healthier breathing space. Isn’t it? Contribute to better, higher-quality recycling Did you know, there are 6.84 billion phones in the world? And a mere 15% of these make it to recycling. Where do the rest go when they are replaced? Either deep inside a cluttered tech cabinet or in landfills as e-waste. According to Cleanup.org, e-waste is responsible for 70% of toxicity in Australian landfills. Therefore, committing to buying refurbished is a commitment to improving recycling globally. When done right, most phones that are usable go through the refurbishment process and are spruced up for resale. Others that have truly reached their end of life are dismantled for valuable minerals that were once mined using carbon-intensive methods. The same minerals are sold to recycling companies who supply them for jewelry or currency minting. Voila, welcome to the circular economy.

Win a $500 Reebelo Shopping Spree

There’s been some noise on the internet lately. Frankly, it’s a faint, distant chatter our certified refurbished smartphones are picking up (pun intended) from our competitors about Reebelo and its trustworthiness. Well, we’re not really in the business to pay heed to mindless and unnecessary chatter. Why? Because we believe sustainability is more than skin deep. It’s way more than simply buying or selling preloved equipment. It’s the ability to co-exist peacefully and make a positive impact. We believe in our mission of making a positive impact on the world through refurbished and sustainable tech. We also believe in offering you great deals on even greater devices. For us, recognizing the need for sustainability meant nurturing an environment of support, trust, and fair chances. It meant we needed to empathize with our people and our customers before selling a single refurbished laptop or phone. If you ask our team, those are the good vibes we start our days with, and really they’re the ones that will put the circular economy on the map. Okay, so the business we’re actually in, you ask? Good Value & Good Values. We’re refreshing the way you consume tech. Making refurbished phones, laptops, and tablets a norm. Reducing the stigma, fear and myths prevalent in the preloved tech market. Making sustainability our top priority. And bringing affordability into the mix. Now that’s something we can talk about all day. Let’s Take it from the Top Hello! We’re Reebelo, your global, trusted, legit, and all-things-certified marketplace for refurbished electronics, and we’re here to stay. We’re so excited to have you on this journey, and hope you will help us turn our vision for refurbished technology into reality. For your planet & your pocket - we promise to care for both. At Reebelo, Trust (Not the Devil) Is In The Details Reebelo has proven to be a disruptor in the market. We don’t mind being the new kid on the block if it means bringing fresh ideas and solving problems for customers. Our purpose and vision is bigger than any one entity. It’s the planet. It’s making refurbishment a norm and sustainability a choice of your lifestyle. We’re building a sustainable ecosystem with: Global Presence We have our US headquarters in Silicon Valley and APAC headquarters in Singapore. Since 2019, we’ve expanded into seven countries with offices in the United States, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. And really, this is just the beginning. Where do we truly want to be? In your hearts and your devices. Complete Transparency At Reebelo, we don’t believe in keeping skeletons in our tech closets. You shop for 100% original, authentic, and functional devices that pass multiple quality checks. Or your money back. Guess it’s time to clear out the dusty old tech closet you haven’t opened in years💀… Handpicked Partners We’re highlighting local sellers who have been in the business for years. Handpicking them and verifying their processes with 40+ quality checks to bring only the best - without the time and money commitment from you. They’re trusted veterans of the industry and they know their craft. Comprehensive Buyer Protection We want you to be happy with your purchase.

“Is Reebelo Trustworthy?” You Asked, We Answered.

Living sustainably and using green or refurbished technology is a common resolution made by people at the turn of every new year. A study indicates that 77% of Americans and Australians surveyed wanted to learn about sustainable everyday habits and the ways they can contribute to a healthier planet. While sustainability and renewable energy are centuries old concepts (didn’t our ancestors solely rely on wind to blow their sails?) innovations in this field are ripe. Cutting edge processes are widening the net for circular economies, which will help reduce the carbon impact on our environment. From ditching single use plastic bags and cups to investing in refurbished phones, TVs, and laptops - we all want our efforts to count and make a difference. Which is why it helps to be in the know and understand the most prominent trends and patterns in green tech. Top 3 Green Technology Trends We’re Rooting For Circular Waste Management Circular Waste Management has its roots in smart recycling. This model of manufacturing and management doesn’t see waste as ‘waste’. Rather, as a raw material that could be used for something new. A circular economy in the tech sector encourages every player in the industry to be less ‘resource-intensive’. It’s all about redesigning materials and eventually reducing the negative impact technology usage has on the environment. In 2023, this practice is picking up speed. Innovative start ups are recognizing the importance of precious materials that are mined from the earth using scarce resources. These materials do not belong in landfills. They can be easily upcycled and used in refurbished laptops, phones, and other preloved electronics. At Reebelo, we’re striving to address the fear and hesitation associated with reconditioned tech. Considering ourselves active members of the circular economy, it is our mission to sell 100% functional everyday refurbished devices that help your hip-pocket and the environment. Carbon Capture & Storage A must follow trend for 2023 is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This revolutionary process aims to capture carbon dioxide emissions from the source, transporting them safely, and then storing them in deep underground cellars. The roots of this innovative idea lie in the premise that simply limiting emissions is no longer enough to tackle global warming. The percentage of carbon in the atmosphere needs to be actively drawn out. Capture 6, a startup in green tech, is aiming to capture and store carbon dioxide, starting with New Zealand. The nation emits 80 million tones of greenhouse gasses a year. Beginning with 5000 tons, Capture 6 will use sea water and renewable energy sources like solar and wind to draw out these gasses and store them in underground tanks. What a fantastic way to help New Zealand up its efforts to reduce carbon footprint and move towards a more refurbished future. Eco-Friendly Laptops & Other Electronics We’ve previously talked in length about carbon neutral laptops on our blog. An interesting read and an even more fascinating concept! Refurbished or reconditioned tech like laptops and phones are a definite step towards normalizing eco-friendly devices. A step further is seeing more and more manufacturers using sustainable and green technologies to produce brand new tech products. We all know how Apple is setting up solar and wind farms to power its data centers, and also help suppliers transition to sustainable sources of power. What goes unnoticed, however, are the small, incremental, eco-friendly changes in your favorite gadgets. Case in point: one of the best and fastest selling refurbished laptops on our website, Microsoft Surface Pro 7+, is Energy Star certified. Why? Its Type Cover is wrapped in a carbon neutral material called Alcantara. It is distributed from a 100% renewable-powered distribution center, and It uses 15%-16% less power compared to previous models. Now, isn’t green energy a marvel on its own? And boy, are we here for it 🙌

EOFY 2023 Australia - The Best Tech at the Best Time of the Year

You think long and hard before buying an iPhone. But you probably think longer and harder before you buy a refurbished iPhone. We get it. You’re spending money, time, and energy into upgrading your device - you want it to be worth it. And the misconceptions around the word ‘refurbished' don't make this choice any easier. At Reebelo, we encourage you to put aside the stigma associated with preloved technology and give it a try. Once you do, you’ll see that there are several ways you can quality check a refurbished iPhone to ensure you’re purchasing a device that suits your needs. From the exterior look and feel to the functionality of various internal parts – a certified refurbished iPhone should check all the boxes of quality assurance. Checklist to Gauge the Quality of Your Refurbished iPhone So, what should you look for when buying a refurbished iPhone? Here are 5 tips that can make your assessment of a preloved device accurate. Are the Speakers and Camera Working? Most technical issues will be apparent as you start using the speakers and camera of the iPhone. These parts can have hidden water damage, and the health of a smartphone can be gauged by quickly assessing them for quality. For instance, the 4K Dolby Vision Cinematic Mode of the iPhone 14 Plus promises excellent picture quality at any hour of the day. Does your refurbished iPhone live up to this hype? Similarly, how does the speaker quality compare to other phones you’ve had? Is audio entertainment a pleasant experience? Definitely some questions to ask as you begin using your refurbished iPhone and assigning it a rating. Is Battery Life as Promised? Battery life is a critical element when you quality check a refurbished iPhone. You can simply go into Settings -> Battery -> Battery Health to ensure that the device has a functional and high performing battery. Remember, refurbished iPhones go through critical tests before they are put on the resale market. You don’t need to compromise on battery life when buying sustainable smartphones on Reebelo. Our certified refurbished devices guarantee at least 80% battery life as compared to a new ones. Are You Buying from a Trustworthy Seller? The source of your purchase has a huge impact on how well a refurbished iPhone works. We strongly recommend you spend some time researching the trustworthiness and credibility of the seller. Are they certified? Have they been ranked and rated on an independent website like Trustpilot? Do they offer buyer protection? Finding a seller that checks these boxes is critical to ensure you’re getting the full worth of your money. For instance: Reebelo’s trustworthiness stems from 70+ quality assurances for every iPhone, a handpicked list of partners, and an expert customer support team always ready to help you. Pro Tip – When you browse Reebelo’s extensive marketplace for refurbished iPhones look out for the Trustpilot rating stars so you can shop with peace of mind. Are You Protected with Warranty? Does the used Apple iPhone come with a warranty? We recommend you buy refreshed iPhones only if they come with a specific warranty. The typical coverage period is usually 12 months; however, shoppers also have the option to buy into an extended warranty plan. Pro tip – always check the perks you receive from your credit card company. Many of them now offer extended smartphone insurance provided you have a valid warranty at the time of purchase. Are You Eligible for a Return? Used and refurbished smartphones within North America alone are expected to comprise 27% of the total market share by 2024. Other prominent regions like APAC will account for 49% of the total. More and more people can see the value in refurbished smartphones. But they don’t just trust the devices, they also trust verified distributors like Reebelo because of their returns and warranty policies. Therefore, trusted and verified sellers of refurbished iPhones will always offer a return window. If they don’t, well, that’s your red flag right there. Whether it’s a 14- or 30-day period (depending on region and market), we suggest you spend this time testing the quality of the product with the peace of mind that you can initiate return within this time frame. Is Refurbished the Way to Go Then? Refurbished is a great way to upgrade your current phone with the iPhone of your dreams without breaking the bank. There’s plenty of models and specifications that will suit varied professions, age groups, and needs. Whether buying for yourself or a loved one, with the above quality checks you’ll pat yourself on the back for making the right (read: refurbished) choice.

How To Quality Check a Refurbished iPhone

From just one serving of a carbon neutral laptop, you receive: 0g of lead 0% mercury & PVC 71% energy efficiency 94% fiber packaging 100% good vibes Disclaimer: You may only want to use carbon neutral laptops after you read this article. The good vibes are strong - you may never see laptops the same way again... Caution is advised. You’ve heard of sustainable energy. You’ve read about companies announcing net zero targets. And you’ve committed yourself to better recycling and eliminating single-use plastics. But what in the name-of-everything-bright-and-shiny is a carbon neutral laptop? The easy answer, if you please, is that carbon neutral laptops are a mix of everything we just listed. Everything you’ve heard or read so far about combating climate change - these laptops are a real life implementation of those principles. They’re changing the production and consumption of everyday tech. How are these devices any different from regular laptops or tablets? What Makes Laptops Sustainable & Carbon Neutral? There are multiple factors that contribute to these laptops getting the eco-friendly stamp. 1. Who is making them? Where are these laptops manufactured, and in what conditions? Are working conditions suitable for factory workers? Are they given rights to form unions? Are they being exploited with overtime? There’s an entire science that goes into ethical labor laws, and unbeknown to many of us, following these laws has a huge impact on the ethical rating of your favorite laptop. A case in point: Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct - a regulation that mandates maintaining healthy work spaces for all. The brand requires its suppliers to respect, honor, and dignify factory workers. 2. What materials are used? Sustainable laptops boast a high percentage of recycled materials. From minerals like tin, cobalt, and copper to packaging materials - everything should reflect a commitment to helping the environment. Buying refurbished laptops, for instance, ensures that some level of recycling was incorporated into parts replacement or the same device was given a new life, a new home. A case in point: Lenovo’s Thinkpad Z13 and Z16 - both of which are manufactured with recycled vegan leather, recycled aluminum, and 90% Post Consumer Content (PCC). The company itself has pledged a net zero commitment by 2025-2026. 3. How easy is it to repair & upgrade? Ease in upgrading and repairing reduces the environmental impact of eco-friendly laptops. They can either be traded in for newer devices or can be repaired for minor issues caused by faulty parts. Refurbished or reconditioned laptops are a great carbon neutral choice. Already in the market, these laptops eventually have a lower carbon footprint and can be spruced up for resale. And trust us, when bought certified, you can barely tell the difference between these and brand new devices. Next time when you’re deciding whether refurbished laptops are good or not, you’ll have more food for thought to make a sustainable decision. A case in point: With Apple’s well-known trade-in program, customers can give back their old devices that are resold as excellent quality refurbished laptops. Similarly, Dell’s sustainable laptops are known to be easily repairable - thanks to minimum PVC used in manufacturing. We’re Here for This Climate Conscious Ecosystem. Are You? For a laptop to be environmentally friendly and sustainable, we have to take ownership of its lifecycle. From the collection and assembly of materials and parts, to usage and to the end of its life. We play a part. Recognizing your role in this process is the true essence of celebrating Earth Day. Every step; from using one less plastic bottle to responsibly charging your devices, is an investment towards a better future. It’s time we start reducing our carbon footprint with an aim to become completely carbon neutral. And we think one serving of refurbished tech will do the trick ✨.

From just one serving of a carbon neutral laptop, you receive:
 
0g of lead
0% mercury &amp; PVC
71% energy efficiency 
94% fiber packaging 
100% good vibes

There are multiple factors that contribute to these laptops getting the eco-friendly stamp. 
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">1.    Who is making them?</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Where are these laptops manufactured, and in what conditions? Are working conditions suitable for factory workers? Are they given rights to form unions? Are they being exploited with overtime? There’s an entire science that goes into ethical labor laws, and unbeknown to many of us, following these laws has a huge impact on the ethical rating of your favorite laptop. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">A case in point: <a href="https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/pdf/Apple-Supplier-Code-of-Conduct-and-Supplier-Responsibility-Standards.pdf">Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct</a> - a regulation that mandates maintaining healthy work spaces for all. The brand requires its suppliers to respect, honor, and dignify factory workers. </div>
 
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">2.    What materials are used? </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Sustainable laptops boast a high percentage of recycled materials. From minerals like tin, cobalt, and copper to packaging materials - everything should reflect a commitment to helping the environment. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Buying refurbished laptops, for instance, ensures that some level of recycling was incorporated into parts replacement or the same device was given a new life, a new home.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">A case in point: Lenovo’s Thinkpad Z13 and Z16 - both of which are manufactured with recycled vegan leather, recycled aluminum, and <a href="https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/sustainability-recycled-content/?orgRef=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F">90% Post Consumer Content (PCC). </a>The company itself has pledged a net zero commitment by 2025-2026.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
 
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">3.    How easy is it to repair &amp; upgrade? </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Ease in upgrading and repairing reduces the environmental impact of eco-friendly laptops. They can <a href="https://reebelo.com.au/sell-phone">either be traded in for newer devices</a> or can be repaired for minor issues caused by faulty parts. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Refurbished or reconditioned laptops are a great carbon neutral choice. Already in the market, these laptops eventually have a lower carbon footprint and can be spruced up for resale. And trust us, when bought certified, you can barely tell the difference between these and brand new devices. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Next time when you’re deciding whether refurbished laptops are good or not, you’ll have more food for thought to make a sustainable decision.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">A case in point: With Apple’s well-known trade-in program, customers can give back their old devices that are resold as excellent quality refurbished laptops. Similarly, <a href="https://liliputing.com/dells-concept-luna-pc-is-a-repairable-sustainable-laptop/">Dell’s sustainable laptops</a> are known to be easily repairable - thanks to minimum PVC used in manufacturing. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
 
We’re Here for This Climate Conscious Ecosystem. Are You? 
For a laptop to be environmentally friendly and sustainable, we have to take ownership of its lifecycle. From the collection and assembly of materials and parts, to usage and to the end of its life. We play a part. 
Recognizing your role in this process is the true <a href="https://www.earthday.org/earth-day-2023/">essence of celebrating Earth Day.</a> Every step; from using one less plastic bottle to responsibly charging your devices, is an investment towards a better future. 
It’s  time we start reducing our carbon footprint with an aim to become completely carbon neutral. And we think one serving of refurbished tech will do the trick ✨.

Carbon Neutral Laptops, Anyone?

The Rise of Refurbished Laptops - An Inspirational Case of Sustainable Tech Innovation Imagine this: your refurbished laptop looks great and works perfectly. You found the exact model, color, and specs you wanted. It aligns with your zealous commitment to the planet while also costing a lot less than you anticipated. Sounds good right? Maybe too good to be true? Well it’s not. If you’re thinking that only new devices can fulfill your needs, or that buying refurbished is ‘settling’, then you need to read this. You’re not alone - this is a common, though uninformed, perception. And that’s why we think it’s time for a discussion on the rise of refurbished laptops and the innovation that goes into them. Let’s Start With Some Facts The Refurbished Computer and Laptop Market Report by Transparency Market Research indicates that by 2031, this industry will be worth US$8 billion with Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific being the biggest markets. The reusing or reconditioning of laptops has opened the floodgates of demand with supply equally rising and showing no signs of slowing down. From academic institutions to global enterprises, these devices have become the bread and butter of modern day connectivity. Before refurbished laptops rose to prominence (aka the Dark Ages), combating climate change and promoting sustainability was a difficult puzzle for the tech industry to solve. Users constantly required new upgrades and manufacturers were there to fuel this need. With so much e-waste entering landfill, the environment began to suffer. The preloved laptop market quickly became a key solution - thanks largely to innovations that made it possible to refurbish devices all across the world. Refurbished Laptops & Innovative Solutions - 4 Processes That Have Seen The Most Change It wouldn't be incorrect to say that sustainable technological innovations have been key to the rise of refurbished laptops. Likewise, this sector has blossomed thanks to the demand from consumers for cutting edge technology that is tied to high awareness for environmental sustainability. The global refurbished laptop market has now reached US$11.3 billion. This is not a small, cottage industry, working to appear on the global map. The refurbed market is a fully fledged eagle ready to soar. It is a sophisticated global network that can ensure a device is delivered to you without a speck of dust under the keys and absolutely no data crumbs in its trail. And this is all thanks to four key innovations: 1. Battery Life & Types Where your reconditioned MacBook Air may have led the innovation in design and portability, sustainable battery solutions are the next disruptive innovation on the horizon. There is a lot of research underway that will soon make the short lifespan of batteries a thing of the past. Consider these examples: Biofuel Laptop Batteries You may not conjure the image of a clean, gleaming rechargeable battery when you think of biofuels. But really, that’s about to change, all thanks to another innovative solution within the sustainable energy genre. Batteries that are powered by a few milliliters of alcohol and enzymes have been in the makes for a few years now at St. Louis University Laboratories. Similar to enzymes in our bodies producing chemical energy, these biofuel cells can help power electronic devices without the reliance on electric power or mass-scale production of metal intensive battery units. Solar Powered Batteries Solar powered batteries give remote working and living-off-the-grid a whole new meaning. Whether you have access to electricity or not, your refurbished MacBook Pro or Windows Surface 4 will keep you connected and working as you take in the majestic sight of the Rockies. Sustainable solar charging is now also part of hiking backpacks, giving on-the-go nature lovers a chance to work while being at their favorite spots around the world. 2. Data Erasure Software Imagine questioning yourself whether refurbished laptops are good, and then finally taking the plunge for your first ever reconditioned device. Only to unbox it and find a stranger’s pictures on it… Data crumbs, remember? And not exactly the emotions you wanted to show in the unboxing video! Let’s rewind. Thanks to innovative techniques in permanent data erasure, such instances are a far off possibility when you buy refurbished from certified sellers. Sophisticated software has the power to erase all past data from preloved laptops without affecting their performance. This can be done wired or remotely, on a single device or a fleet of laptops - the possibilities are endless. Professional data erasure reduces security risk, improves efficiency, and plays an important role in smoothening our transition into a sustainable, circular economy for tech. 3. Hardware & Software Diagnostics Running diagnostics tests for renewed laptops is an important step for certified refurbishers. These advanced tests can crawl the internal and external components of a device within minutes. The results drawn point to the health of the laptop and the kind of repairs needed. From testing the RAM, memory, and software to the very specs of the webcam, battery, and speakers, refurbished diagnostics have come a long way due to constant innovation. 4. Material & Energy Resources While you may be drawn to a reconditioned MacBook Air 2022 for its sleek and modern design, it’s also worth noting that your favorite notebook is made with sustainable materials and energy sources. Apple is one of those forward thinkers that have a very ambitious ‘green’ agenda. The company aims to be 100% carbon neutral by 2030 - for all its processes, products, and the entire supply chain. Moreover, a 200 megawatt wind farm in Oregon powers its massive Prineville data center. This is just one in many sites where it has mined renewable energy sources to continue developing cutting edge processes. Similarly, other tech companies have also risen to the occasion. Case in point: Dell manufacturing laptops that inherently use 25% less energy than previous models. This reduction comes at the heels of efficient circuits, recycled materials, and green sources of power. How Far Will This Innovation Take Us? From alcohol powered cells to upcycling laptop parts, to power developing countries with old batteries- this really is just the beginning of the circular economy journey. The United Nations University reported that global e-waste is set to double by 2050. While e-waste is a serious current issue, it can be controlled with innovative procedures that ingrain sustainability at every step; from production to usage, and all the way to disposing and recycling. But no one person or organization can do it alone. Refurbished laptops are part of an innovation cycle that will continue if we all support it. So here’s to lengthening the lifespans of our current laptops, buying refurbished, and being active members of the circular economy. Cheers!

The Rise of Refurbished Laptops - An Inspirational Case of Sustainable Tech Innovation

Australia Fueling Its Net Zero Targets With Low-Carbon Technology Refurbished devices have quickly turned into a permanent category for electronics stores. And while this sector is providing cost savings and lucrative revenues to these sellers, it is also helping countries on their path to net zero carbon targets. Australia is a prime example. A highly ranked innovative hub of the world, Australia’s tech sector is worth A$167 billion. A huge proportion of these earnings comes from small and medium sized companies that are leading the path to creating and encouraging sustainable technology. The Australian Government’s 2050 net zero targets are capitalising on this trend. It is aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by “delivering results through technology, not taxes.” And to do so, the government has put in place low emission technology solutions that will evolve the way Australians use IT in various facets of life. A Highly Aware Customer Base - A Big Win for Refurbished Technologies A high level of awareness within the masses has been a big push for the rise of refurbished technology in Australia. Buyers are now more conscious of the way they spend, and how their spending habits impact the environment. More than 70% of people in the country hope to lead an environmentally friendly life, and almost 90% want to make sustainable, refurbished purchases. It’s safe to say that educational awareness has had a huge impact on buying and consumption patterns - something the government hopes to further emphasize with its ambitious net zero targets. A smart move indeed. By placing the consumer at the center of this change, lawmakers are striving to spur a revolution from within. And by providing even more jobs and economic stability - a shift in emission intensive technologies will be a welcomed change. As a result, 7 in 10 Australians believe the government should set tactical targets to limit climate change and global warming on a domestic stage. At this level, it becomes every individual’s responsibility to carry the baton for eco-friendly tech consumption. The much-talked-of Technology Investment Roadmap is the cornerstone of this movement. Its heavy focus on renewable energy, and the help it can offer locals in using technology wisely, will definitely set an example for the rest of the world.

Australia Fueling Its Net Zero Targets With Sustainable Technology

If you’ve been following Reebelo on social media and keeping up with our global presence in the circular tech industry, you’d know by now how we feel about the best refurbished laptops. Refreshing & Charming. There’s something heart-warming about giving a second life to a piece of technology we once loved dearly. Modern, state-of-the-art laptops are so much more than just their cosmetic appearance. The effort, processes, and resources that go into the manufacturing are significant; each laptop deserves to reach the full potential of its useful life, even if a past owner has moved onto something new. Refurbished computers really are the future and at Reebelo, we’re dedicated to making them a new norm. If that means we must take some time out of our day to bust a few myths we often hear from naysayers, so be it. Let’s get busting! 5 Myths About Buying the Best Refurbished Laptops Here are the five most common myths about refurbished laptops that we hear from customers. Myth #1: Refurbished Laptops are Nearing the End of Their Life Not true! According to experts, some of the best refurbished laptops are just 1-2 years old. In fact, a large majority isn’t even used before it is returned to the seller. Before they go back on the market, refurbishers conduct additional quality checks and take all the necessary steps to restore them to their former glory. So no, refurbished laptops are nowhere near the end of their life. They have the potential to become your best buddies for the next 3-5 years, at least. Busted! Myth #2: The Best Refurbished or Used Laptops Will Need Too Much Maintenance This one has been around the longest - and is definitely not true!. Tech enthusiasts are humble people who trust the power and stability of technology in an ever-changing world - the misconception that refurbished laptops were once ‘broken’ is frustrating, to say the least. Refurbished laptops have no issues with performance, configuration or quality. Trusted and certified vendors place these devices on shelves next to brand new ones after they pass multiple, strict checks and balances. Busted! Myth #3: Refurbished Laptops are for Those Who Can’t Buy New Not true! There is way more to the term ‘refurbished’ than meets the eye. Yes, it’s the apparent re-vamp of computer parts and chips. Yes, it’s the same laptop passed on to multiple users. Yes, you can find the best refurbished laptop deals priced much lower than new machines. It’s all true. But the bigger truth lies in the larger than life impact a buyer makes on the environment when they decide to give refurbished a try. In an average month, you – along with Reebelo – help save 57 million liters of drinking water, 412 tons of greenhouse gasses, and 1.3 tons of e-waste. Now those are the real savings making us all richer, aren’t they? So yes, busted! Myth #4: Refurbished Laptops Do Not Come with Warranty They do at Reebelo! ! Nothing scares an excited buyer more than faulty tech with no warranty. But let us assure you – that’s not part of the preloved laptop package at Reebelo. When we sell you a refurbished laptop, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. The best refurbished laptops come with a 12 month warranty that covers service, parts and in some cases, the product itself. Therefore, when considering such a purchase, make sure you reach out to the best reputable refurbished laptop sellers that have all these processes in place. Busted! Myth #5: Refurbished Laptop Computers Don’t Have the Latest Technology We saved the best one for last. One of the most common misconceptions is that refurbished laptops don’t have all the latest bells and whistles. They’re considered experienced, but old - like that friend you’d go to for advice but not when you’re filming your next TikTok (ouch!). The truth, however, is quite surprising. As we discussed previously, most preloved laptops are not at the end of their life at all. Instead, they’re gently used devices that were given away to refurbishers for a variety of reasons. It’s also safe to say that technology has now reached a point where the difference in processor speeds between two generations of CPUs is barely noticeable at moderate workloads. Well, as long as you’re buying certified refurbished from a trusted source, that is. Busted! Where Do We Stand Now…? We’re currently at a juncture where buying the best refurbished laptops shouldn’t be an afterthought. It should be the first thought that helps you make a change that is bigger than any one of us – the planet. As you enjoy unboxing a reconditioned laptop, here’s to rejoicing that you also made a positive impact on the environment by loving preloved.

<div style="padding-left: 30px;">It’s all true.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
But the bigger truth lies in the larger than life impact a<a href="https://reebelo.com/blogs/news/we-re-calling-it-here-s-the-environmental-impact-of-your-smartphone"> buyer makes on the environment when they decide to give refurbished a try.</a>
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
In an average month, you – along with Reebelo – help save 57 million liters of drinking water, 412 tons of greenhouse gasses, and<a href="https://www.streamrecycling.com/how-are-electronics-refurbished/"> 1.3 tons of e-waste</a>. Now those are the real savings making us all richer, aren’t they? So yes, busted!
</div>
<blockquote>Myth #4: Refurbished Laptops Do Not Come with Warranty</blockquote>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
They do at Reebelo! ! Nothing scares an excited buyer more than faulty tech with no warranty. But let us assure you – that’s not part of the preloved laptop package at Reebelo. When we sell you a refurbished laptop, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. 
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
The best refurbished laptops come with a 12 month warranty that covers service, parts and in some cases, the product itself. Therefore, when considering such a purchase, make sure you reach out to the best reputable refurbished laptop sellers that have all these processes in place. Busted!
</div>
<blockquote>Myth #5: Refurbished Laptop Computers Don’t Have the Latest Technology </blockquote>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">We saved the best one for last. One of the most common misconceptions is that refurbished laptops don’t have all the latest bells and whistles. They’re considered experienced, but old - like that friend you’d go to for advice but not when you’re filming your next TikTok (ouch!).</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">The truth, however, is quite surprising. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">As we discussed previously, most preloved laptops are not at the end of their life at all. Instead, they’re gently used devices that were given away to refurbishers for a variety of reasons. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
It’s also safe to say that technology has now reached a point where the difference in processor speeds between two generations of CPUs is barely noticeable at moderate workloads. Well, as long as you’re buying certified refurbished from a trusted source, that is. Busted! 
</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
 
Where Do We Stand Now…?
We’re currently at a juncture where buying the best refurbished laptops shouldn’t be an afterthought. It should be the first thought that helps you make a change that is bigger than any one of us – the planet. 
As you enjoy unboxing a reconditioned laptop, here’s to rejoicing that you also made a positive impact on the environment by loving preloved.

Busting 5 Myths About the Best Refurbished Laptops

A tap here and a swipe there. Done. Let’s check off your grocery list, utility bills, social calendar, and the donations you promised your favorite charity. That’s the ease and convenience of using a smartphone today. However, how often do we think about the larger than life impact of using these ultra-smart devices on the environment? With the number of phones outnumbering human beings on earth, are you ever curious to know how ‘green’ your device really is? The Modern Smartphone & Our Fragile Environment The first smartphone was developed in 1992. As tech circles rejoiced over this marvelous feet, environmentalists began a countdown. Between 1990 to 2021, greenhouse gas emissions increased by 50%, with carbon dioxide contributing 80% to the total. Coincidence, you say? Read on... Research suggests that a new smartphone emits 85kgs of carbon in its first year. Various studies indicate that within this pie, 95% comes from the manufacturing process alone. Therefore, producing a smartphone is an emission intensive process; and hence, the root cause of the environmental impact. Tonnes of carbon is released into the atmosphere during the molding, filtering and mining of the various metals used during manufacturing. Let’s break this down and identify the most prominent factors. 1. Does it Come from New or Refurbished Material The impact of using recycled or refurbished materials is considerably less because these metals have already been mined. Recycled tin, aluminum and cobalt are finding new life in speakers, batteries and cases. Using these recycled materials helps increase sustainability and reduce our environmental impact, which is the best way to continue benefiting from technology well into the future. 2. Does the Manufacturing Plant Use Renewable Sources of Power? How are manufacturing plants powered? Using renewable sources of energy like solar and wind power reduces emissions that would otherwise be let out into the environment in the form of harmful gasses and sewage waste. A prime example is Apple. As of 2018, all Apple facilities around the globe are being powered by solar energy. This includes data centers, office buildings and retail stores. To align its goal to combat climate change with suppliers, the brand actively helps partners switch to renewable sources of power with 23 suppliers already on board. 3. Is Energy Efficiency a Priority? Energy and process efficiency is another factor that determines the environmental impact of manufacturing smartphones. Maintaining ideal levels of temperature and humidity is essential for semiconductor manufacturing. About 30% of all power needed is devoted to maintaining these constants at all times. Improving older factories and warehouses can significantly reduce the amount of resources needed to do so. So, What Are You Going To Do About The Environmental Impact Of Your Smartphone? By 2040, the Information and Communication Industry could potentially be responsible for 14% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. In 2007, the same stat was a mere 1%. Many smartphones are only used for up to two years before they are discarded. That’s an awfully short lifespan to justify the emission of gasses that will hang around the atmosphere for at least 300 years. Thankfully, trends have started to change. According to Mobile Muster, 30% of Australians are now using their favorite iPhones or Samsung phones for more than 2 years. And more than 20% have invested in refurbished upgrades. How can we further improve this trend, you ask? Well, using smartphones is a necessity; so is upgrading them. However, advocating for lengthening their lifespan and refurbishing them where possible can help reduce their carbon footprint. As you scroll to this last paragraph on your smartphone (thumbs up if it’s refurbished!), let’s make a pact to atone for this device’s environmental impact by taking simple steps like:

We’re Calling It - Here’s the Environmental Impact of Your Smartphone

I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. - Phenomenal Woman, by Maya Angelou Little did Maya Angelou know that her powerful words, coined in 1978, would reflect the stories behind thousands of women finding their rightful places on the world stage. Breaking barriers, defying glass ceilings, breeding innovation, and refusing to be left out of the divisive old boys' clubs. A discussion involving the biggest tech companies in the world is often incomplete without dedicating a moment to appreciate their founders. After all, these masterminds revolutionized the role technology plays in our lives. But how often do we talk about the women who not only spurred the change, but became the change our world wanted to see? Celebrating International Women’s Day would truly be incomplete without talking about the valuable role these trailblazers played in lighting up the world of technology. From Silicon Valley to outer space, there’s a woman’s name next to each achievement that humanity is so proud of today. 6 Wonder Women in Tech Who Led this Uphill Journey Ready to be surprised? Let’s take a look at some Wonder Women whose hard work and dedication helped play a part in forging the tech industry as we see it today. 1. Adele Goldberg Adele Goldberg’s work inspired Steve Jobs’s brainwave for the first Apple desktop computer. A programming enthusiast, she taught herself the basics of the language and then went on to pursue a Masters and Ph.D. in Information Science from the University of Chicago. In the 70’s she began working at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center as a research and laboratory assistant. The unsung hero in a group of men, Adele pioneered the Smalltalk-80 programming language and helped design the first Graphic User Interface (GUI). She rose to stardom after Steve Jobs visited the research center in search of inspiration. Soon after witnessing the groundbreaking work at Xerox, Jobs was convinced that Goldberg’s technology ‘represented the future of computing.’ Without the GUI, your favorite high resolution, liquid retina displays with bursting colors would have never seen the light of day. Pearls of wisdom from Adele: “Don’t ask whether you can do something, but how to do it.” 2. Sheryl Sandberg Sheryl Sandberg is one of the most influential women in Silicon Valley. At Google, she was applauded for developing the search engine giant’s signature online advertising system. In 2007, she was appointed COO of Facebook. A Harvard economics graduate, Sheryl’s focus has always been women empowerment. Today she sits on the board of many non-profits like Women for Women International that helps female war survivors build a better life. “Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead” is her New York Times Best Selling Book about aiming high and achieving your dreams... Pearls of wisdom from Sheryl: “In the future there will be no women leaders, there will only be leaders.” 3. Sandy Lerner Sandy Lerner co-founded Cisco in 1984. She invented the router while working at Stanford University. Her goal was to enhance the quality of communication within the institution, and eventually for the masses. Now that we think of it, without Sandy’s immense contribution to the tech industry, communication with computers just wouldn’t be the same. These routers would eventually connect computer networks within buildings, cities, countries, and around the world. And the remote working ecosystems in place today wouldn’t even exist. As the company grew, Sandy and her husband accepted funding from outside investors, risking control of their intellectual property. Soon after, the new management couldn't see eye to eye, and one of the pioneers of big tech was fired from her own company. Pearls of wisdom from Sandy: “Do not give control to outside investors. 4. Reshma Saujani For Reshma, gender gaps and inequality in the field of coding were simply unacceptable. A graduate from the University of Illinois, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and Yale Law, this trailblazer founded a unique organization called Girls Who Code in 2012. To date, 450,000 girls have studied coding programs under this umbrella. Reshma’s focus has also been empowering women from minority groups identified by low income and race. She later published “Girls Who Code: Learn to Code & Change the World” to make this knowledge easily accessible to the masses. Pearls of wisdom from Reshma: “If you haven’t failed yet, you haven’t tried anything. 5. Gwynne Shotwell Gwynne's interest in space exploration led her to graduate with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics from Northwestern University. After a successful stint at Aerospace Corp. as Chief Engineer, she joined SpaceX and rose in ranks to become the president of the first private company to put satellites in outer space. Gwynne has overseen multiple space missions at NASA and actively advocates for STEM scholarships. Pearls of wisdom from Gwynne: “You can’t be on the cusp of innovation and at the forefront of technology if you’re wearing blinders.” 6. Donna Dubinsky Long before the Blackberry or the iPhone were conceptualized, Donna Dubinsky laid the groundwork for the PalmPilot. The first ever handheld device that would revolutionize all communication channels in the world. A Harvard Business Graduate, Donna led the software division at Apple, and later joined Palm as CEO. Her tireless work brought ease, convenience, and a modern approach to smartphone usage that was unthought of previously. Undoubtedly so, Donna’s contribution to the cutting-edge software and processors we see in the latest Apple iPhones can never be forgotten. Pearls of wisdom by Donna: “It strikes as a fundamental human need to be organized.” Have we piqued your interest yet? There are so many more amazing women in tech whose dedication and commitment is admirable. Learn about these trailblazers in the Women in Technology Hall of Fame. What International Women’s Day 2023 Means at Reebelo At Reebelo, we’d be incomplete without the strong and determined women on our team. We stand behind them, we see them and we support them. International Women’s Day 2023 strikes a special chord in our core. Why? Because this year’s theme – innovation and technological change for equality – is something we’ve dedicated ourselves to preaching as well. For us, this change is a change in buying patterns to save our planet, and this innovation is an innovation in the way we should consume refurbished technology. The time is now, and the time is right. Now you understand Just why my head’s not bowed. I don’t shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing, It ought to make you proud. Happy International Women’s Day!

Women Trailblazers Who Light Up the Tech World

If you need to know how to move from your Android to an iPhone, this expert guide is here to navigate you through the process. Learning how to transfer data from an Android to an iPhone is simple, and it can be done within a few hours or less. In this guide, you will learn: How to transfer contacts from Android to iPhone How to transfer photos from Android to iPhone, and How to transfer apps from Android to iPhone All of these steps will be part of learning how to transfer Android to iPhone so you can start using your new phone with all your favourite photos, apps, and contacts, without needing to upload them manually. If you're interested in learning how to transfer from Android to iPhone, we've got you covered. Read our detailed guide here to get your iPhone 11 or another model set up with all of your transferred data in no time. How to Move Your Data From Android to iPhone The iOS club may be smaller, but many people are looking to make the switch to enjoy Apple's strong ecosystem, better apps, and enhanced privacy settings. Learning how to transfer Android to iPhone isn't too difficult as long as you follow these steps in addition to messages that will appear on each device as you go through the transfer process. Almost everything can be transferred from Android to iPhone when the transfer is handled correctly. Whether you have an iPhone 13 or a different model, these steps will have your new device setup and ready in no time. Before you begin Before you can begin the move, there are a few steps you need to complete to ensure the process goes smoothly. Here's what you need to do to get started: Confirm that your Wi-Fi is on and connected to your Android. Plug both your Android and your new iOS device into a power source. Ensure that all the content you wish to transfer will fit onto the new device. Does the new device have enough storage capacity? Install the latest version of Chrome on your Android if you're transferring Chrome bookmarks. The fastest way is through the ‘Move to iOS’ App Are you ready to make the switch from Android to iOS but are unsure of how to transfer Android to iPhone? The fastest way to transfer data from Android to iPhone is by using the Move to iOS app. You can either download this onto your Android device by searching for it in the app store or by scanning the QR code on your new Apple device. This is done by tapping the QR code button on the iOS device then scanning the code provided using the camera of the Android device. This opens the Google Play Store. From here, you will select “Continue” then read the prompted terms of conditions. To complete this step in the transfer process, tap “Agree”. There are additional ways to transfer data from Android to iPhone without Move to iOS. This includes using Smart Switch for transferring from Samsung to iPhone. However, the Android device must be running on 4.3 or iOS 4.1 or later in order for this method to work. Additionally, each of these methods requires downloading a different app and following an individualised process. Move to iOS is the most direct way to transfer your data and is the most popular way to make the move from one device to the other. Wait for a Code One of the easiest steps when going through the process of how to transfer Android to iPhone is waiting for your code. This six-digit or 10-digit code will show up on the screen of the iOS device. It should take only a few minutes to pop up after you have set up the Move to iOS app. Tap “Continue” when the Move from Android screen pops up. A six-digit or ten-digit code will then appear on the screen of your device. If your Android device alerts you that there is a weak internet connection, ignore this message. This message appears because of the transfer process but does not affect the ability of you to transfer your data. Use the six-digit or ten-digit code that appears on the screen of your Android device. Type in each number, then continue to the next step of the transfer. After completing this step, you need to connect your iOS device to a temporary Wi-Fi network. The new device will create its own temporary network for the transfer process. You will be prompted to join the network on your Android device. Select the “Connect” option to join the network, then wait for the next screen to appear. This will be labelled as “Transfer Data”. Choose Your Content and Wait The next step of how to transfer Android to iPhone is choosing your content and then waiting for the transfer to continue. Begin by selecting the content on your Android that you would like to transfer to the new Apple device. After making all of your selections, you will need to select “Continue”. It's very important to remember during this step in the transfer that even if your Android device alerts you that everything has been transferred from this device's end, the transfer process also needs to be completed on the Apple device. Otherwise, not all of the content will successfully upload onto the new device. Do not disconnect either of the devices or do anything while they are actively transferring the selected content. Leave the devices alone and wait until the full loading bar appears on the Apple device once it has completed the end of the transfer. You should also keep the devices near each other and plugged in to ensure the process can be done efficiently and without interruption. An interruption can potentially disrupt the process, resulting in an incomplete transfer. Keep in mind that the transfer process from start to finish can take up to a few hours, depending on the amount of content that is being transferred. After a few hours, your new iPhone X will be ready to be set up. This is the content that can be transferred: Accessibility settings Display settings Contacts Message history Camera photos and videos Photo albums Files and folders Bookmarks from the web E-mail accounts Media and Messages from WhatsApp Calendars Continue Setting Up Your iOS Device The last step you need to complete when learning how to transfer Android to iPhone is setting up the iOS device. Once the transfer has been completed between the devices, the loading bar will be full on the Apple device. Getting setup requires you to first select “Done” on the Android device. You will then need to select “Continue” on the screen of your Apple device. Continue setting it up using the on-screen navigation prompts to finish setting up your new device. You want to make sure that all of your content has been successfully transferred. While most of the content will be transferred through this process, you will need to manually transfer any music, books, and PDFs that were originally saved on your Android device. If you need to redownload apps that were on your Android, you can go to the App Store on your iOS device to re-download them. There is also the option to set up some of the features later if you're unsure of what selections you'd like to make or if you're too excited to start using your phone to complete setting up some of the features. You can always go back into your settings later and set up some of the features or change some of the features you set up after the transfer was completed. If this is your first time using an iPhone, the setup will be a little different, but you should get the hang of the new interface after spending some time using it. Wrap Up Now that you have completed all of the steps required for a data transfer, you now know how to transfer Android to iPhone and have your new iOS device set up. Remember to update, have your network working, and plug in both devices before starting the transfer. You can transfer almost everything from your Android to a new iPhone 12 or 13 and older iOS devices using the Move to iOS app. You'll be able to choose all of the content you want to be transferred. Then, once your iOS device has received all of the transferred data, you can now use your new phone.

<h2>How to Move Your Data From Android to iPhone</h2>
The iOS club may be<a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/272307/market-share-forecast-for-smartphone-operating-systems/#:~:text=Smartphones%20running%20the%20Android%20operating,percent%20share%20of%20the%20market."> smaller</a>, but many people are looking to make the switch to enjoy Apple's strong ecosystem, better apps, and enhanced privacy settings. 
Learning how to transfer Android to iPhone isn't too difficult as long as you follow these steps in addition to messages that will appear on each device as you go through the transfer process. 
Almost everything can be transferred from Android to iPhone when the transfer is handled correctly. Whether you have an<a href="https://reebelo.sg/collections/apple-iphone-13?color=Red&amp;condition=Good&amp;storage=128GB&amp;ram="> iPhone 13</a> or a different model, these steps will have your new device setup and ready in no time.  
<h2>Before you begin</h2>
Before you can begin the move, there are a few steps you need to complete to ensure the process goes smoothly. Here's what you need to do to get started:
<ol>
<li>Confirm that your Wi-Fi is on and connected to your Android.</li>
<li>Plug both your Android and your new iOS device into a power source.</li>
<li>Ensure that all the content you wish to transfer will fit onto the new device. Does the new device have enough storage capacity?</li>
<li>Install the latest version of Chrome on your Android if you're transferring Chrome bookmarks.</li>
</ol>
<ol></ol>
<h2>The fastest way is through the ‘Move to iOS’ App</h2>
Are you ready to make the switch from Android to iOS but are unsure of how to transfer Android to iPhone? The fastest way to transfer data from Android to iPhone is by using the Move to iOS app. You can either download this onto your Android device by searching for it in the app store or by scanning the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-scan-qr-code">QR code</a> on your new Apple device. 
This is done by tapping the QR code button on the iOS device then scanning the code provided using the camera of the Android device. This opens the Google Play Store. From here, you will select “Continue” then read the prompted terms of conditions. To complete this step in the transfer process, tap “Agree”. 
There are additional ways to transfer data from Android to iPhone without Move to iOS. This includes using Smart Switch for transferring from Samsung to iPhone. However, the Android device must be running on 4.3 or iOS 4.1 or later in order for this method to work. 
Additionally, each of these methods requires downloading a different app and following an individualised process. Move to iOS is the most direct way to transfer your data and is the most popular way to make the move from one device to the other. 
<h2>Wait for a Code</h2>
One of the easiest steps when going through the process of how to transfer Android to iPhone is waiting for your code. This six-digit or 10-digit code will show up on the screen of the iOS device. It should take only a few minutes to pop up after you have set up the Move to iOS app.
Tap “Continue” when the Move from Android screen pops up. A six-digit or ten-digit code will then appear on the screen of your device. If your Android device alerts you that there is a weak internet connection, ignore this message. This message appears because of the transfer process but does not affect the ability of you to transfer your data.
Use the six-digit or ten-digit code that appears on the screen of your Android device. Type in each number, then continue to the next step of the transfer. After completing this step, you need to connect your iOS device to a temporary Wi-Fi network. 
The new device will create its own temporary network for the transfer process. You will be prompted to join the network on your Android device. Select the “Connect” option to join the network, then wait for the next screen to appear. This will be labelled as “Transfer Data”.  
Choose Your Content and Wait 
The next step of how to transfer Android to iPhone is choosing your content and then waiting for the transfer to continue. Begin by selecting the content on your Android that you would like to transfer to the new Apple device. After making all of your selections, you will need to select “Continue”. 
It's very important to remember during this step in the transfer that even if your Android device alerts you that everything has been transferred from this device's end, the transfer process also needs to be completed on the Apple device. Otherwise, not all of the content will successfully upload onto the new device. 
Do not disconnect either of the devices or do anything while they are actively transferring the selected content. Leave the devices alone and wait until the full loading bar appears on the Apple device once it has completed the end of the transfer. 
You should also keep the devices near each other and plugged in to ensure the process can be done efficiently and without interruption. An interruption can potentially disrupt the process, resulting in an incomplete transfer.
Keep in mind that the transfer process from start to finish can take up to a few hours, depending on the amount of content that is being transferred. After a few hours, your new <a href="https://reebelo.sg/collections/apple-iphone-x?color=Space+Grey&amp;condition=Very+Good&amp;storage=64GB&amp;ram=">iPhone X</a> will be ready to be set up. 
This is the content that can be transferred:
<ul>
<li>Accessibility settings</li>
<li>Display settings</li>
<li>Contacts</li>
<li>Message history</li>
<li>Camera photos and videos</li>
<li>Photo albums</li>
<li>Files and folders</li>
<li>Bookmarks from the web</li>
<li>E-mail accounts</li>
<li>Media and Messages from WhatsApp</li>
<li>Calendars</li>
</ul>
<ul></ul>
Continue Setting Up Your iOS Device 
The last step you need to complete when learning how to transfer Android to iPhone is setting up the iOS device. Once the transfer has been completed between the devices, the loading bar will be full on the Apple device. Getting setup requires you to first select “Done” on the Android device. You will then need to select “Continue” on the screen of your Apple device. Continue setting it up using the on-screen navigation prompts to finish setting up your new device.  
You want to make sure that all of your content has been successfully transferred. While most of the content will be transferred through this process, you will need to manually transfer any music, books, and PDFs that were originally saved on your Android device. If you need to redownload apps that were on your Android, you can go to the App Store on your iOS device to re-download them. 
There is also the option to set up some of the features later if you're unsure of what selections you'd like to make or if you're too excited to start using your phone to complete setting up some of the features. You can always go back into your settings later and set up some of the features or change some of the features you set up after the transfer was completed. 
If this is your first time using an iPhone, the setup will be a little different, but you should get the hang of the new interface after spending some time using it. 
<h2>Wrap Up</h2>
Now that you have completed all of the steps required for a data transfer, you now know how to transfer Android to iPhone and have your new iOS device set up. Remember to update, have your network working, and plug in both devices before starting the transfer. 
You can transfer almost everything from your Android to a new<a href="https://reebelo.sg/collections/apple-iphone-12?color=Black&amp;condition=Good&amp;storage=64GB&amp;ram="> iPhone 12</a> or 13 and older iOS devices using the Move to iOS app. You'll be able to choose all of the content you want to be transferred. Then, once your iOS device has received all of the transferred data, you can now use your new phone.

How to Transfer Android to iPhone: The Expert Guide

This week marks Keep Australia Beautiful Week, an initiative that is very close to our hearts. To celebrate, we asked our Melbourne team for their top tips to reduce waste — let's see what some of our team had to say. 1. Choose re-usable whenever you can. You will always find two things in Elena's bag. Our Social Media Manager carries a reusable coffee cup and re-fillable water bottle wherever she goes. "Did you know that after just 8 uses, a reusable coffee cup has a lower carbon impact than disposable cups? That's just one week of coffees for me!" 2. Donate clothes and buy second-hand where possible. Noah, our Graphic Designer, is an op-shop connoisseur. You'll often find him along Smith Street hunting for treasure. "Fast Fashion has such a huge environmental footprint, why not quench your shopping addiction in an environmentally friendly way? Plus who doesn't love cheap clothes that are ahead of the fashion curb?!?" 3. Compost food waste Gardening has quickly become a favourite weekend activity for Mariana, our Marketing Director. Since moving into her new home, she has become quite the green thumb. Her top tip? Food composting! "Composting food waste has many benefits for your garden. It improves the soil quality and garden vitality, a great alternative to fertiliser. And it saves us money, it's a win, win!" 4. Bring reusable bags each time you go shopping Our Director of Sales, Danny, ensures he always brings bags from home when he does his weekly grocery shopping. "Reusable shopping bags are practical because they are much stronger than plastic bags. They are also economic because you don't need to buy them over and over again. Most importantly, they are environmental. Plastic bags can take anywhere from 15 years to a massive 1,000 years to decompose." 5. Reducing waste at home doesn't have to be difficult Simpson, our Development Team Lead, shares the small changes that can make a big impact. "Being more sustainable and waste-free at home is actually not that hard. I have swapped out my plastic toothbrush for an eco one, use silicone food wraps instead of plastic wrap and post my parcels with compostable mailers to name a few." 6. Buying refurbished tech reduces your carbon footprint by up to 70% Next time you need to upgrade your phone or computer, explore our range of refurbished devices. You help save the planet AND save money. It is a win, win!!

How Our Team Is Keeping Australia Beautiful

Reebelo founders, Fabien and Phillip, were brought together by a passion for sustainability and a drive to reduce landfill. The two friends founded their eco-conscious tech marketplace as a way to combat the increasing amount of unnecessary e-waste building up in the world, by getting people to reconsider how they consume technology. To celebrate Plastic Free July, we sat down with them to find out what Reebelo and sustainability means to them. Why was Reebelo created? Philip: In 2019 alone, the world generated 53.6 million tonnes of e-waste, and this problem is only going to worsen with time. We believe that the resale of refurbished tech devices will help lessen this very real problem. We wanted to create a startup that combined social and entrepreneurial impact. That is why Reebelo was born, with the vision to create a trusted platform for sustainable consumption. Tell us a bit about Reebelo and how it was founded. Fabien: Reebelo is a platform that sells refurbished devices at a lower cost, whether it’s a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or earphones. Our goal is to make it easier for anyone to obtain electronic goods, all while building a circular economy that helps solve the problem of e-waste. What are the main advantages of buying refurbished technology? Philip: Buying refurbished is the smart choice for every customer, as you get the same device for a better price, when compared to purchasing brand new. On top of that, you can be sure that you are doing your part for our planet by stopping a device from ending up in landfill. It also decreases the demand for new phone production, which leads to a reduction in e-waste, greenhouse gasses, water wastage and our carbon footprint to name a few benefits. We want to help the world switch from a wasteful and linear way of tech consumption to a more sustainable method, via refurbishment. How did you and your business partner Phillip meet? Fabien: Philip and I met in Singapore during our incubator program with Antler. We were both determined to build a high growth startup, while doing something bigger than ourselves that would have a significant and positive impact. With Reebelo, we are able to achieve just that while working in an industry we both know very well! What is the best piece of advice you ever received? Philip: That's a very tricky question, as there is so much great advice we have received since starting Reebelo. Ultimately, I think that delivering outstanding service to our customers has really paid off. We were told that continued customer support would be imperative to our success, and as such we set out to create a recognised and trusted platform. Working closely together with our customers to improve Reebelo has always been our number 1 target and it has helped us to improve as a company on a daily basis. What does #plasticfreejuly mean to you? Fabien: Plastic Free July means reducing single-use plastic at an individual and company level. We are really proud that this month our team members are taking on challenges to reduce single-use plastic in their homes. We as a company have also partnered with Zero Co for their Work Waste Challenge. Do you have advice for anyone who wants to be more sustainable? Philip: Living more sustainably is not as difficult or expensive as some people may believe. Small tasks such as food composting, using a keep cup or saying goodbye to plastic straws can make a big difference. Another great way to be more sustainable is to make an impact with your money. Shop with and support businesses that are sustainable. At Reebelo, we are adding more and more sustainable businesses to our marketplace so that customers can easily make an informed, economical and importantly a sustainable choice. ﻿ Click here to follow us on social and see what our team is up to for #plasticfreejuly including eco tips and MORE!

Meet Our Co-Founders: Fabien & Philip

Why Reebelo? So, you’re thinking of getting a preloved or refurbished phone, laptop or other electronic device and are wondering why you should get it from Reebelo?

I was after an iPhone x. there are several merchants out there that you can buy one. Rebelo somehow felt more open and secure. they offered a 12-month warranty, with a 15-day return upon receipt of the item. So i decided to go with them. take your time in choosing, because prices vary for the same product. I chose one that was described as excellent condition and cheaper than the rest. the item arrived in a very short time. I took my time looking for scratches or blemishes and finally found a blemish. well, I think its a blemish. it's near the site where the sim card is inserted. I doubt that you would notice it. the phone can be described as nearly new. the communication with Reebelo was prompt and helpful. if you are looking for a good quality phone I would certainly recommend Rebelo. - Reebelo Australia TrustPilot Review Excellent Cost Savings! Many customers were very happy when they received their devices as they were almost brand-new and in mint condition. Thus, they could enjoy significant cost savings by paying reasonable prices of refurbished or second-hand phones while enjoying phones that were as good as, if not better than, brand new ones! “I bought the iPhone 7 Plus and it arrived within 3 days, the phone came with lots of extras and was in a very secure package. The phone also was very clean and came with no scratches on the screen. The price was very affordable since if you were to get the iPhone 7 Plus from the apple store, it would be $700+ but it was on $399.

<a href="https://au.trustpilot.com/users/5e05788931bb5a2aa1908d10" target="_blank" title="- Reebelo Australia TrustPilot Review" rel="noopener noreferrer">I was after an iPhone x. there are several merchants out there that you can buy one. Rebelo somehow felt more open and secure. they offered a 12-month warranty, with a 15-day return upon receipt of the item. So i decided to go with them. take your time in choosing, because prices vary for the same product. I chose one that was described as excellent condition and cheaper than the rest. the item arrived in a very short time. I took my time looking for scratches or blemishes and finally found a blemish. well, I think its a blemish. it's near the site where the sim card is inserted. I doubt that you would notice it. the phone can be described as nearly new. the communication with Reebelo was prompt and helpful. if you are looking for a good quality phone I would certainly recommend Rebelo.</a>

Excellent Cost Savings!
Many customers were very happy when they received their devices as they were almost brand-new and in mint condition. Thus, they could enjoy significant cost savings by paying reasonable prices of refurbished or second-hand phones while enjoying phones that were as good as, if not better than, brand new ones! 
<a href="https://au.trustpilot.com/reviews/5f701ed8798e6f096021135e">“I bought the iPhone 7 Plus and it arrived within 3 days, the phone came with lots of extras and was in a very secure package. The phone also was very clean and came with no scratches on the screen. The price was very affordable since if you were to get the iPhone 7 Plus from the apple store, it would be $700+ but it was on $399. Overall great product and website, will order again. 😊” </a><a href="https://au.trustpilot.com/reviews/5f701ed8798e6f096021135e" target="_blank" title="- Reebelo Australia TrustPilot Review" rel="noopener noreferrer">- Reebelo Australia TrustPilot Review</a>

Reebelo Australia’s Customer Reviews - What Australian Customers Have Been Saying About Reebelo in Australia

Managing Director, Gulrez Tyebji, was live on the Startup Daily show on ausbiz to share about how Reebelo is taking on the issue of e-waste through creating a marketplace for refurbished electronics. If you’ve missed it, we’re here to recap some of the key points covered below. “ For us, it's all about educating people about responsible consumption of electronics” The core mission of Reebelo Australia has always been about refreshing the way people consume electronics. E-waste generation is a huge issue that Planet Earth is facing, yet it receives the least attention. Improper disposal of e-waste, the immense amount of carbon emission through irresponsible consumption have all negatively impacted the APAC region. This has particularly affected the APAC region, where much of this e-waste is improperly disposed of, contaminating the environment and leading to health issues from toxic fumes. Reebelo was founded with the mission to reduce e-waste generation through building a circular economy that reuses these electronics and provides them with a new lease of life. For us, the old adage of fixing something that is broken instead of throwing it away rings true. “What we've seen is people are really getting behind the idea - people realize that they don't really have to buy a new phone if they can buy a perfectly working phone for less than half the price.“ Fortunately, we’ve seen an upward trend in recent years for refurbished phones. People are more discerning on functionality and mid-range phones are gaining popularity over flagship models that come with more premium features. While value-for-money is indeed an attraction for mid-range brand new phones, there is a section of the market that considers refurbished or second-hand smartphones to belong in this category. “We are a marketplace [...] There are companies who are testing them meticulously, making sure they're 100% functional. We partner with those companies so our business model really is bringing all that together on one platform.” When asked to dive into what Reebelo Australia’s platform is, MD Gulrez Tyebji remarked that Reebelo is ultimately, a marketplace for trusted Australian businesses to provide affordable and fully-functional refurbished electronics to local Australians. These local businesses “are taking away that risk because a lot of people don't know what they're getting into when they're buying used or second-hand devices.” All vendors with Reebelo Australia adhere to quality standards and providing our customers with sustainable choices to select what is best for them is our business model. “[...] After every device that's sold, we plant a tree in partnership with One Tree Planted” For each refurbished device sold, Reebelo plants a tree on behalf of its customers with global environment organisation, One Tree Planted. While being a part of the circular economy and giving used electronics a new lease of life is what we hope for everyone, we wanted to go a step further and give our customers a more tangible reminder that we are first and foremost a sustainable business. If we can offset our carbon footprint by planting more trees while also saving electronic devices from premature death, Reebelo is willing to go the extra mile and act on our values.If you'd like to view Gulrez's full appearance on the Startup Daily, check out the video below.

Do you need to replace your existing iPhone or upgrade it as your needs change?. Or is your current phone damaged due to an ‘accident’ from one too many wild nights? Replacing your iPhone with another one can be a difficult decision, with the iPhones becoming incredibly expensive. If price is an issue, we recommend getting a refurbished or secondhand iPhone instead. That being said, you might have to guard against dishonest or unreliable sellers on the Internet. Many might choose to get your phone from a trusted family member or friend. In a crowded secondhand or refurbished marketplace such as eBay and Amazon, how can you choose your desired iPhone while enjoying considerable savings? Read on to find out how exactly you can do so. 1) Is The Seller Trustworthy? Imagine forking out money for your desired refurbished or secondhand phone only to find out that the phone has been stolen or blacklisted. While this nightmare scenario might seem like those in the movies, the truth is that it can happen anywhere and to you, especially when you buy your refurbished or secondhand phone from online peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplaces that permit sellers of any background to sell their phones. The best way to safeguard yourself would be to find a trustworthy seller to get your desired refurbished or secondhand iPhone. If you buy your desired refurbished or secondhand iPhone from Reebelo Australia, you would not have to worry about whether your phone has been stolen or blacklisted by the Australian police. All of Reebelo Australia’s partners are certified Australian vendors and no phone transacted on our platform has been stolen or blacklisted. 2) How Is The Battery Life Of The Phone? You can get an average of about 10 hours of battery life for speaking on the iPhone. However, even solid battery lives do not last forever because battery abilities drop as time goes on. Inspect the battery life of your desired second hand or refurbished iPhone before you buy it. After you buy it, continue to monitor the battery capacity of the iPhone before. If you buy a second hand phone that is more than 1 year old, think of extra costs you would have to fork out when you install a new battery. The safest way is to get your refurbished iPhone from Reebelo Australia because battery life would not be an issue. Your refurbished iPhone would have been totally cleaned, repaired and checked by Reebelo’s trusted Australian vendors. The Reebelo team strives constantly to ensure healthy battery level for every refurbished phone. 3) Does The Phone Have A Good Warranty Period? The phone warranty is another key factor when it comes to getting the right refurbished iPhone. Getting any phone would be a risk on the buyer’s part. However, one way to buffer yourself from any possible purchase scams would be a good phone warranty time frame. A refurbished iPhone with a solid warranty time frame can at least provide some reassurance that you can send your iPhone back to the seller or manufacturer for further repairs after purchase. Chances are that if you get your refurbished iPhone from an individual seller with no proven track record, you might not enjoy the perks of a quality phone with a good warranty period. If you get your phone from Reebelo, you can enjoy 12 months warranty, coupled with a free countrywide phone delivery to your doorstep. 4) Is Your iPhone Unlocked? If you are keen to purchase a particular refurbished iPhone, check if the phone is unlocked. Unlocked phones offer the flexibility to choose your preferred phone contract and service provider. Moreover, an unlocked iPhone would make it much easier to trade it in when you need to. On the contrary, if you have a carrier-locked iPhone, you would have to go through the tiresome process of unlocking it should you need to trade it in for another phone upgrade in the future. The great news is that all of Reebelo Australia’s phones are unlocked to provide customers like you with flexibility for phone upgrade and replacement options. Get The Perfect Refurbished iPhone At Reebelo Now! Enjoy huge savings when you buy your refurbished iPhone from Reebelo Australia.

How to Choose Your Refurbished Or Used Apple iPhone

You have decided not to get your brand new Samsung or iPhone in order to save money. After all, a brand new Samsung phone or iPhone typically cost at least AU$1,000. In these dire times, it would be wiser not to burn too big a hole in your wallet. If you are a Samsung phone user, you might still be looking for a good quality phone with the relevant features in order to address your phone needs. To save costs while getting your Samsung phone in Australia, you can opt for a refurbished or secondhand phone. However, getting a refurbished or second hand Samsung phone is not that easy as it sounds. With the Australian second hand phone market full of potential scammers and dubious sellers trying to sell poor quality or stolen phones to unsuspecting buyers, you as a buyer would need to be savvy and conduct your due diligence checks in order to ensure you buy a quality refurbished or second hand phone at a competitive price. The following shows a checklist for buying second hand or refurbished Samsung phones in Australia. 1) Ensure That Trusted Vendors Have Quality Refurbished Samsung Phones If you are getting a refurbished Samsung phone, ensure that the phone has been completely checked, inspected and repaired by trusted parties, such as certified vendors in Australia. If you buy your refurbished Samsung phone on a peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace such as Amazon Australia or eBay, chances are that your so-called ‘refurbished’ phone might not be genuinely or thoroughly cleaned up and scanned by certified experts for potential defects. This is because many sellers on P2P marketplaces are individual sellers with potentially questionable backgrounds.

Fortunately, if you get your refurbished Samsung phone from Reebelo Australia, you would not have to worry about seller trustworthiness. All Reebelo Australia’s vendors are Australian and certified experts to make sure that our customers get the best quality refurbished phones possible with an accompanying 12 month warranty.

This is because you must not overlook important details like accompanying products and accessory boxes that come along with your phone. Conduct a meticulous accessory audit on the accompanying products to your purchased Samsung phone. For instance, does your phone purchase take into consideration the cables and chargers? If your purchase excludes essential accessories like cables and chargers, you might have to incur additional costs to buy these missing accessories. Think about whether these extra expenditures would affect your overall budget for this particular purchase to guide your decision. You also would meet with considerable risks should you buy your secondhand or refurbished Samsung phone from individual sellers on P2P marketplaces. Many of these individual sellers might be dishonest and hide potential defects in the phone, or lie about what the accompanying products in the phone accessory box are. The money you pay these sellers might not be the total amount you would eventually incur in the end. Instead, get your second hand or refurbished Samsung phone from Reebelo because it is the reliable secondhand phone marketplace in Australia.

There have been many cases of unsuspecting buyers buying stolen or blacklisted phones and getting onto the wrong side of the law through no fault of their own. In many of these cases, culpable sellers emerged scot-free and had their crimes unpunished and the P2P marketplace might not be able to offer any help for stolen phone purchase on their platform. Oftentimes, if the price of a phone seems too good to be true, or if the seller seems anxious to sell his or her Samsung phone, you would have to raise your suspicions and be even more vigilant before you decide to make any purchase decision.

How To Choose Your Used Or Refurbished Samsung Phone in Australia

In the 21st century world, phones have become such an integral part of our everyday lives. With phone manufacturers and retailers constantly enhancing the features of their phone collection, many of you might be itching to replace or upgrade your existing phones to address your needs. That being said, the exorbitant prices of brand new phones take up a huge portion of your monthly take-home incomes. For example, an iPhone XR might cost a whopping AU$1000 for a brand new 64GB model. Similarly, the Samsung Galaxy S10 might cost you a minimum of AU$1100. How Can You Save Money? But wait, do not ditch your phone upgrading plans just yet, mate! You can still upgrade or replace your phone, while saving money in the process. How’s that? Well, one solution is to get a cheap used or refurbished phone instead of an expensive brand new one. Rushing to get the latest or coolest-looking smartphone in the market simply because your friends and the public are raving about it would not be the best thing to do. Make a careful assessment of your needs versus your wants and align them with your budget. After all, you, as well as many other phone users, might use only the basic features of your phone . If you are not a professional photographer, you might not need the niche features in say, the iPhone 11 or 12, but can opt for the refurbished iPhone 7 Plus (32 GB) starting from $399. Check the remainder of this article for money-saving tips d to find out how bargain hunters like you can save money while getting cheap used or refurbished smartphones here in Australia! 1) Sign a Contract If you are set on getting a brand new phone, the first thing that comes to mind to save money while buying your phone would be to sign a contract with one of the mobile phone carriers in Australia, such as Vodafone, Telstra or Optus. Different contract plans with different telcos in Australia might help you save some money, at least on the initial upfront payment costs. Having said that, you would be stuck to the particular phone contract that you signed up with the respective telco for the rest of the contract duration. What if your needs change over time or if you calculate that this particular contract is not that cost-efficient after all in the long run? You would not be able to easily change your phone contract or get an unlocked phone without incurring extra costs. 2) Use A SIM-Only Plan One of your regular expenses every month would likely be your mobile bills. Couple these bills with overpriced mobile data plans and phone contracts from giant telcos and you might find yourself having to pay through your nose more often than not. Signing up with a phone contract is not the only option out there in Australia. Instead, how about opting for a SIM-only plan to cut your costs when getting your phone upgrade or replacement? Simply put, SIM-only plans are postpaid plans that do not lock buyers like you into fixed-duration phone contracts. These SIM-only plans can reduce your phone bills significantly without drastically changing your mobile phone consumption habits. The flexibility provided by such a scheme lets bargain hunters like you search for the cheapest mobile plan and phone available in the market. Telco companies in Australia like Finder provide SIM-only plans, so you might want to check them out. However, one downside of a SIM-only plan is that you would need to be more alert to your mobile phone data usage, especially if you consume data in huge amounts. This is because if you are a huge data consumer, you might have to buy additional data to address your data use. Over time, these accumulated costs due to purchases of additional data might lead to more overall costs incurred than if you were to stick to a fixed phone contract. 3) Be A Bargain Hunter! Get A Refurbished Phone To Compliment The SIM-Only Plan If you decide that the SIM-only plan is more workable and cost-friendly for you in the long run but still want to scrimp on additional unnecessary costs, be a bargain hunter and get a quality refurbished phone from Reebelo Australia to compliment your SIM-only plan. By doing so, you can have the flexibility of switching mobile phone plans when your needs call for it, and also can enjoy the excellent quality of your desired phone that has been thoroughly inspected and repaired - all at a cheap price! For example, the iPhone XS (256 GB) at Reebelo costs only $859! If you are concerned that you might get a phone of low quality, fret not with Reebelo. All of Reebelo’s refurbished phones, such as our iPhone collection, have been completely cleaned, checked and polished up by certified Australian experts to ensure their pristine quality. Additionally, our 14-days free return policy for all our Australian customers guarantees the premium standards that we hold dear and ensures that our customers’ interests are properly met. Let Reebelo Help You Save The Most Money! If you are looking to save money when buying a phone in Australia, let Reebelo address your concerns about unreliability, price and quality.

How to Save Money When Getting A New Phone in Australia

Being budget-conscious does not mean ditching the dream to buy your very own Apple iPhone or desired Android device. Forget about the ridiculously priced brand new iPhones and Android phones out there in the market, as they would burn a huge hole in your pocket. After all, many of us are not in the mood to splurge big in these trying economic times. The next best solution would be to get a second hand or refurbished phone that has been recycled at a much cheaper price. After all, when you get a used phone or refurbished one, you help reduce the amount of tech waste in the environment. Moreover, used or refurbished phones are usually way cheaper than brand new ones. Nonetheless, when you are buying a refurbished phone from an acquaintance or a peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace like Amazon Australia or eBay, you run considerable risks such as getting a sub-par phone with a dying battery or getting a stolen phone that has been blacklisted. Read on to find out more about the things you need to remember when you get your refurbished and recycled phone in Australia. #1: Does The Smartphone Contain Your Required Features? One major question to ask yourself before making your next phone investment would be whether your desired phone in question contains the features necessary to address your needs. While you might not be a fussy photographer and might be well content with any phone with a decent camera lens, you might be more picky about whether the battery life of the phone can last for hours on end. If you are an avid photographer and require your phone to contain an ultra-wide lens to take high-resolution shots, you might have to consider the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra or the iPhone XS MAX for your photography and videography hobbies. #2: Do The Refurbishers Offer Additional Repair Services During The Phone’s Warranty Period? The next important question to consider before getting your desired refurbished phone would be to ensure if the refurbishers of the said phone offer additional repair or inspection services during the warranty time frame. This is because should your phone exhibit previously unknown functionality defects, you can maximise its longevity by sending it back to the refurbishers to have it inspected and repaired once more. If you get your recycled phone from an individual seller with dubious origins, you might not stand a chance for a warranty period to accompany your phone, let alone additional repair services. However, if you get your refurbished phone from a trusted and reputable Australian marketplace like Reebelo, rest assured that your phone would have undergone quality checks and touch-ups before its resale, and that Reebelo offers our Australian customers up to 12-month warranty time frame for products sold on our platform. #3: Is The Price Of The Smartphone ‘Just Right’? Now, this is a tricky question to answer. Although the typical price of a used or refurbished phone is usually around 30% cheaper than its original brand new counterpart, cheaper is not necessarily always better for those of you budget-savvy peeps out there. If you encounter a phone with a rock-bottom price without understanding the reason why, chances are the price is too good to be true and the smartphone might contain some additional defects that you might be unaware of. Worse still, the smartphone might have been stolen before and the seller might be in a rush to get rid of it. Should you fall for such a scam and purchase a stolen used or refurbished smartphone, you might end up on the wrong side of the law and in legal hot soup. Ascertaining whether the quoted price of any refurbished phone is ‘the right price’ can be complicated, but the safest is to stick to the market prices that can be found on the Internet. #4: Is The Seller Legit? Arguably, this might be one of the most prominent questions you would have to ask and answer when you get your refurbished smartphone. The marketplace is saturated by individual and retail sellers claiming to have the best quality used, recycled and refurbished smartphones, and the difficult thing is sussing out the legit sellers from the scammers. Avoid buying your refurbished phone from individual online sellers with unknown backgrouexpertsnds or no previous track records as much as possible. Instead, buy your refurbished phone and other products from established sellers like Reebelo that have past track records of customers happy about the competitive prices of the products offered. By buying your phone from Reebelo, stand to look forward to great quality products (all our refurbished products have been tested and cleaned up by certified Australian experts) at highly affordable prices. Even better, if you have an existing phone to trade in, do so at the same time when you buy your refurbished phone to enjoy double savings! "Reebelo finally offers a marketplace for second hand electronics you can trust: fair prices and great quality. A nice way to save money and reduce waste.” - Mike. Reebelo's Trustpilot Customer Review. An additional thing to note is that for every phone that is transacted on Reebelo, we plant a tree in Australia in partnership with One Tree Planted as a tangible symbol to mark our efforts in saving the environment, recycle existing smartphones and reducing the amount of smartphone waste. .Can we incorporate the keyword “Recyle and reduce waste here too? Look No Further Than Reebelo To Get Your Refurbished Phone! We at Reebelo are customer-centric and have your best interests at heart. If you have been offered a cheaper price for your desired phone elsewhere, simply inform us and we will match. We work with the authorities and trusted Australian partners to ensure that you get the best out of your transaction with us to save as much as possible. What is more, our phones are durable due to their excellent quality and useability. Hurry up and check out Reebelo Australia’s Instagram page for more updates!

Things you need to check when getting a refurbished phone in Australia

Did you know that when you get your phone upgrade or replacement, brand new phones are not the only options out there? However, many retailers and manufacturers in Australia would like you to believe that newer is always and necessarily better. This is because these retailers and manufacturers are looking to make easy bucks out of customers like you to meet their sales quotas. Instead of keeping up with the Jones’s and getting the latest phones out on the market at each upgrade or replacement, you should consider the relatively untapped market of refurbished phones for your next purchase. By getting a refurbished or used phone instead of a brand new one, you can save tons of money while enjoying cool features that best suit your needs. Before making your next purchase of your desired refurbished phone, check out what factors you might have previously overlooked in order to maximise your spending and get the best value out of your transaction. Return and Warranty Policies Put it simply, the return and warranty policies of your desired refurbished phone would be a clear sign of the quality of the phone and the credibility of the phone seller or manufacturer. A decent return policy that lasts for a few days or weeks would safeguard your interests as a customer because you can return the phone to the seller when the phone does not function as expected within a specified time period. That being said, if you are getting your phone from a peer-to-peer marketplace like eBay or Carousell, you might have to rely on individual agreements between yourself (the buyer) and the respective seller whom you choose to get your phone from. Moreover, a solid warranty policy is another level of safeguard for your interests as a customer, especially once your return policy is over. If your phone has a warranty policy of around a month or more, you can send it back to the seller or manufacturer for any touch-ups or repairs should it exhibit any previously unknown manufacturing defects. Try as much as possible to buy a second hand or refurbished phone that has an accompanying warranty time frame with the purchase. Ideally, this warranty policy should also involve the refurbishers of the phone, in order for you to get your phone repaired as efficiently as possible. Some purchases of refurbished items using credit card payment options might qualify for further warranty extensions, so you might want to check out on that end too. Nonetheless, if you get your used or second handphone from individual sellers of dubious backgrounds on online peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplaces like eBay, you might run the risk of getting your product without the desired warranty or return policies. This is because many individual phone sellers are in a hurry to get rid of their unwanted used phones and might not entertain any notion of return or warranty policies. Alternatively, get your refurbished phone at a trusted and reputable marketplace like Reebelo in order to ensure that you get decent return and warranty policies for your refurbished phone purchases. For example, all the products sold on Reebelo Australia enjoy at up to twelve months warranty. Warning: Be Careful Of Phone Scams And Trolls In your hurry to get your desired second hand or refurbished phone at the soonest time possible, you might unsuspectingly fall victim to a burgeoning number of phone scams and trolls that capitalise on vulnerable and over-enthusiastic customers. Popular phone scams include random callers asserting that your phone was stolen and you have to return it to them, failing which you would end up in a legal hot soup. You might be unsure of how to react in such situations. Yet such situations are highly probable if you obtained your refurbished phone from unknown and unverifiable individual sellers on eBay and other P2P platforms. The best solution for you in such sticky situations would be to call the police to determine if your used or refurbished phone was in fact stolen or if it had been blacklisted. Get the police involved in the investigation. But, as the saying goes, ‘prevention is better than cure’, the safest option for you would be to buy your used or refurbished phone from a trusted site like Reebelo instead of random P2P marketplaces that lack security checks and clearances. Ensure Seller Credibility On the same note of seller trustworthiness, do not overlook the credibility and reliability of the particular phone seller from whom you make your used or refurbished phone purchase. Not every Tom, Dick or Harry can be trusted, regardless of how cheaply they sell their phones to you. Oftentimes, the price and deal offered might be just too good to be true. Nevertheless, if you shop for your desired phone on online marketplaces like eBay or Amazon Australia that might not conduct ample due diligence checks on their sellers, you are running a huge risk of getting scammed of your hard-earned money. If you think you have the time to individually verify the identities of each individual seller you meet on these P2P marketplaces, think again. Why waste your time and effort going through unnecessary steps when you already have a proven and reliable seller like Reebelo ready to assist you in your phone purchase and able to deliver your purchase right to your doorstep? What is more, Reebelo works with trusted Australian refurbishers and all our refurbished phones have been completely inspected, cleaned and repaired to ensure that you as our customer can maximise the longevity of your next purchase. Get Your Refurbished Phone At Reebelo, Get It Now! While it is true that there are many options for you as a customer in Australia to get a refurbished phone, the fact remains that few of these options are reliable and have proven track records of providing excellent product quality and customer service. Reebelo might be relatively new in the Australian market as compared to some of these other existing options, but our proven track record and satisfied customer reviews clearly indicate our commitment to making our customers enjoy the purchase process and get the best value out of their money! “Love the idea behind this business. Finally a trustworthy marketplace for second-hand electronic devices. If you're looking for a phone but you don't feel like spending too much, this is where to go.” - Nicole.

Not every Tom, Dick or Harry can be trusted, regardless of how cheaply they sell their phones to you. Oftentimes, the price and deal offered might be just too good to be true. Nevertheless, if you shop for your desired phone on online marketplaces like eBay or Amazon Australia that might not conduct ample due diligence checks on their sellers, you are running a huge risk of getting scammed of your hard-earned money. If you think you have the time to individually verify the identities of each individual seller you meet on these P2P marketplaces, think again. Why waste your time and effort going through unnecessary steps when you already have a proven and reliable seller like Reebelo ready to assist you in your phone purchase and able to deliver your purchase right to your doorstep? What is more, Reebelo works with trusted Australian refurbishers and all our refurbished phones have been completely inspected, cleaned and repaired to ensure that you as our customer can maximise the longevity of your next purchase.

Factors You Might Have Missed Out When Getting A Refurbished Phone

Hey mates! Would you like to save money on your next iPhone upgrade or replacement? Or, if you have been an Android user all along, secretly hoping to make your first iPhone purchase, but are daunted by the ridiculously expensive brand new iPhone prices? Well, you are on the right page then! In an era of escalating costs, global economic meltdowns and diminishing purchasing powers, learn how you can upgrade or replace your phone with Reebelo’s assortment of iPhones safely and seamlessly - while getting a great deal and saving considerable amounts of money! Face The Facts - Increasing iPhone Prices Year On Year Let us begin by facing the facts. Ever since Apple first launched the iPhone in 2007, the prices for newer iPhone models have been skyrocketing not just in Australia, but in other parts of the world. Clearly, Apple’s target audiences might not include budget-conscious folks like you, simply because there still remains a group of elite Apple consumers that are pretty much insensitive and immune to any price change. Bear in mind that the 64GB iPhone 11 Pro costs about AU$1,750, the 256GB phone costs is set at AU$2,000, and the 512GB one costs a whopping price of around AU$2,350. After seeing these sky-high prices, you might have to kiss your iPhone dream good-bye. But wait, do not go off just yet. You still might be grudgingly acknowledging the fact that iPhones contain various benefits (such as not containing bloatware that consumes a great ton of space in phones) that Android phones do not provide. Moreover, if you have a MacBook, having an accompanying iPhone just makes things much easier as you can receive and make calls with your MacBook by keeping your iPhone close to the former (thanks to MacOS that has a continuity feature). Even if you do not require the 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and the 120-degree field of view for wide-ranging photography sessions, you might still consider the older iPhone models simply because they have easy-to-use interfaces. Therefore, why not consider getting a refurbished iPhone from Reebelo, the APAC most trusted second hand and refurbished devices marketplace in Australia. Getting A Refurbished iPhone At Reebelo No longer keen on keeping up with the Jones’s and getting the latest iPhone every year with the most updated multi-camera lens? You are not alone. Just like you, more and more consumers are switching from brand new phones to second hand or used ones in efforts to save more of their hard-earned money. After all, many iPhone users use their phones for basic messaging and chatting purposes most of the time. In light of this reality, why not get a refurbished iPhone from Reebelo with competitive prices? This is because Reebelo works with various reliable providers to get the most competitive prices for you in the market. Another good news is that if you were to get a used iPhone at Reebelo, you can put your safety concerns about stolen phones to rest.

The Ultimate Guide on Saving Money when Buying an iPhone in Australia

So you might be stuck in another government-imposed lockdown (especially if you are in the state of Victoria) but still have to get your mobile phone upgraded or replaced. Yet, all non-essential services have been shut and your local mobile phone store might also be all shuttered up as of the time of writing (August 2020). Therefore, the only alternative you have to shop for a mobile phone is to shop online for a cheap, second hand or refurbished phone in Australia. Yet, in such dire economic times like these, you do not want to be bursting your wallet for an overpriced and brand new smartphone. If you have decided to opt for a used or refurbished smartphone, but are unsure as to the differences between both types of phones, read on to find out how getting a refurbished phone is a good deal in Australia and learn more why refurbished phones are better than used ones. Definition Of A ‘Second Hand Phone’ If you are obtaining a ‘second hand’ or ‘used phone’ you would be getting one that is ‘fresh out of the boat’ from the previous owner or user. A used phone might contain batteries that are malfunctioning (or dying), incur substantial scratch marks and dents as well as other defects like a badly cracked screen (depending on how the previous user used it). However, the sad reality is that if you were to buy a used phone from an unverified seller on an online marketplace like eBay, you might get scammed by the dishonest seller into buying a severely damaged phone that otherwise looks pristine and flawless online. Definition Of A 'Refurbished Phone’ On the other hand, a ‘refurbished phone’, while not a brand new one, is a phone that has undergone various forms of cleaning, inspection and repairs. Refurbished phones can be either almost brand new or used phones that have experienced several inspections from sellers and manufacturers to enhance their quality. After these phones have been completely ‘refurbished’, that is, proven to be workable and sellable, they would usually be offered for resale. Dangers Of Getting A Used Phone Instead Of A Refurbished One As indicated above, getting a used phone has its accompanying risks, such as getting scammed into paying for one only to find out that it is no longer usable due to severely damaged parts. There are a couple of online phone marketplaces in Australia that encourage buyers and sellers to physically meet up to inspect phones and negotiate prices before any purchase is made. However, with the added complication of government imposed lockdowns and movement restrictions in several parts of Australia, you as a potential buyer would be unable to physically meet individual sellers to verify the condition of the phone before purchase. Even if you were to physically meet individual sellers to verify your phone before you buy it, you are running a personal risk yourself especially if the other party is armed or carries dangerous weapons with him or her. Moreover, getting a used phone from an individual seller as opposed to getting a refurbished phone from a reputable seller like Reebelo is very risky because the phone obtained could be a stolen one. When you get a stolen phone unknowingly, the original owner might report the theft to his or her phone carrier to block the handset from getting connected to the network. What this implies for you is that regardless of the number of SIM cards you use on your newly obtained phone, you would be unable to use it. The worst-case scenario would be that you end up in hot soup on the wrong side of the law and face a jail term of up to ten years, simply because you were the innocent victim of an online used phone purchase scam. Not worth it, eh? Moreover, used phones might not have gotten the requisite quality inspections or might not have the important warranty policies to protect your interests as a customer and to maximise the longevity of your phone. Refurbished Phones Are Less Risky Than Used Ones Bearing in mind the aforementioned risks with used phones, let us consider why getting a refurbished phone is a better choice for you when you make your next purchase. Firstly, getting a refurbished phone would mean that you are getting a phone that has undergone many rounds of quality checks from trusted Australian vendors Hence you can get the same level of technical support from these Australian experts when you buy a refurbished phone, just like when you buy a brand new, albeit a far more expensive one. You can get a refurbished phone with a decent quality at a highly discounted price from trusted Australian refurbished vendors or a proven and trustworthy seller like Reebelo and enjoy huge savings. Some people have even commented that getting a refurbished phone in Australia while enjoying the same amount of technical support and paying way less is the smarter choice to make, as compared to getting a used phone (with no guaranteed technical support) or a brand new expensive one. In fact, you might run the risk of getting an expensive brand new phone with accompanying liabilities as not all the brand new phones have undergone inspections as complete as refurbished ones. For great prices and awesome quality, Reebelo’s range of refurbished phones to cater to your various needs would not disappoint. “Reebelo finally offers a marketplace for second hand electronics you can trust: fair prices and great quality. A nice way to save money and reduce waste.” - Mike. Reebelo’s Trustpilot customer review.
