Our iPhones are practically part of the family these days. They sit at the dinner table, they work out with us, and they even keep all our secrets. 

But unless you’re one of the few holdouts, iPhones tend to have shorter lifespans than even our pet hamsters (and that’s saying something). We break them, scratch them, we need more storage space than we initially anticipated. That’s life. 

But for those who need a new iPhone and don’t want to drop a few hundred dollars — or who refuse to give up their headphone jack — refurbished products provide functionality without the high price tag.

Why go Refurbished?

Refurbished devices have been restored to factory settings (the old user’s information won’t be present) and it will, from a software-standpoint, appear like a brand new phone. Refurbished devices also have been rigorously tested to ensure they work like new. 

The thing you want to pay attention to with Refurbished products is the grading, which gives you detail on what to expect. Devices with a Grade A rating are the best quality of refurbished phones; they’re pretty much in near-mint condition.  

Ahead, we’ve rounded up a number of Grade A phones that are on sale right now in the Mashable Shop. Peruse the list of mostly iPhone 6 models, and even snag a 5 in there too.
