About Us
About Us
Our mission: to make Apple technology accessible to everyone, with guaranteed quality and respect for the environment.
Our story
RiPhone was founded in Dublin in 2019 by a group of technology enthusiasts with one clear goal: to offer the highest quality refurbished iPhones at accessible prices. It all started in a small laboratory with 3 people and a great deal of passion.
Today we are a team of over 25 professionals, with an Apple Independent Repair Provider certified laboratory and over 15,000 refurbished iPhones sold. Every device goes through 32 quality checks before reaching our customers' hands.
Our philosophy is simple: every refurbished iPhone must work like new. We don't settle for less, and neither should our customers.
Our laboratory

32 quality checks

Professional refurbishment
