I am tempted by a refurbished phone, as I’m not bothered about having the latest tech. BUT I’m a heavy user of my mobile phone as I basically use it as a computer for several hours a day when out and about. What tends to happen is the battery gives out before the phone does. So I really need to know whether “refurbished” actually means “has had a new battery”, because that’s a deal-breaker for me...

What does "refurbished" actually mean (in real terms)?

It would be easier to read about this yourself rather than reading the waffle I normally generate
https://www.idmobile.co.uk/refurbished-phones
(start reading from about a 1/3rd of the way down and towards the bottom there are several FAQ’s)
One good thing about refurbed phones is that iD put a full 12 months warranty on them.
