Why Buy Refurbished?

What would you look for the most in your child’s first smartphone? Value. Value for money and value for features. The iPhone 12 delivers on both. Whether it’s going off to college, walking to school on their own for the first time, or signing up for after-school practices - you’ll find the best of connectivity and features in Apple’s iPhone 12. Known to be the ‘affordable flagship’ phone, the iPhone 12 is the perfect cross between price and features. For less than $350, you can make a tech investment for kids that is durable, upgraded, and easy to use on a daily basis. What Makes iPhone 12 the Best All-rounder? What makes the iPhone 12 the best all-rounder is its simplicity and ease of use. It’s just the right size, without the added bulk in other models, and is relatively straightforward for kids to use. Since they’re still understanding and navigating the tech world, starting this journey with an iPhone 12 seems almost intuitive. This simplicity and ease stems from three main areas: Sleek and Simple Design Simplicity doesn’t mean your child will be using a dated phone. In fact, the flat-sided design on the latest iPhone 14 and its siblings was inaugurated by the iPhone 12. It’s a classic Apple aesthetic and is paired with a minimalist, modern overall look and feel. Unlike the later models, the iPhone 12 is a mid-sized phone measuring 5.78” in length and 2.82” in width. It’s lighter, smaller, and more ergonomic - making it easier to hold and use with one hand. New, User-Friendly Features Let’s take a look at some features that make this model a must-have for older kids. Brilliant Display, Handy Screen At 6.1”, measured diagonally, the iPhone 12 is very handy. The screen and display are bright and clear with Super Retina XDR Display. It has a peak brightness of 1200 nits and a resolution of 1170 x 2532. Sturdy, Water and Dust Resistant Running to class, getting to practice on time, and biking across the street - all potential opportunities for children to drop their phones! While mishaps can happen anything, it helps to know that the iPhone 12 screen is coated with a ceramic shield which boosts its durability. Moreover, this model has an IP 68 rating - meaning, it is dust and water-resistant for up to 30 mins at a depth of 6 meters. So, in case it drops in a puddle or is exposed to rain while walking home - it should work just fine. Multiple Storage Options Depending on how old your child is and the way they will use the iPhone 12, you can choose from various storage configurations. It is available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256 GB. Long Battery Life There aren’t a lot of phones on the market that can compare to an iPhone’s battery life. This iPhone 12 under consideration has 17 hours of video playback, 11 hours of streaming, and 65 hours of audio playback - making it a great option for educational podcasts and tutorial video streaming. Parental Control & Access Perhaps the most important feature you’re waiting to read up on is parental control and access. The Apple ecosystem is known for excellent compatibility with devices from the same brand. So you can take advantage of a number of features that ensure your child is using their first phone responsibly. Apple Family Sharing Account Family sharing is a very useful feature if all members are within the iOS ecosystem. You can follow the steps on Apple’s website for the exact steps to add a child (under 18 years) to the plan. Once set up, your child can share access to purchases, storage, calendars, and invitations. For the purpose of parental control on the iPhone 12, you can turn on the ‘screen time’ option which we talk about next. Screen Time & Downtime Screen time tells you the number of hours your family member is spending on the phone. As a parent, you can set a limit to this number and control access to the apps downloaded and also propose a set duration of downtime. It helps to know that these limits promote healthy and responsible usage of a child’s first smartphone. Content and Privacy Restrictions The content and privacy restrictions in this control panel help you manage the kind of content your child may be exposed to. You can restrict movies or TV shows above a certain rating, regulate iTunes and App Store purchases, and restrict explicit books or music. Refurbished iPhone 12 - A Smart Choice for a First Smartphone The refurbished iPhone market is a great place to start your hunt for an appropriate first phone for your child. It’s an expansive industry with a plethora of options - even those that aren’t manufactured anymore. Choosing refurbished iPhones also ensures you’re making an affordable purchase for a busy, not-so-perfect lifestyle. With children learning to be responsible for their own belongings and taking care of phones and laptops while commuting to and from school - refurbished iPhone picks are really the smart choice. When considering preloved iPhone options, make sure to check off these criteria from your list: Certified & 100% Functional Not all refurbished is the same. Look for ‘certified’ refurbished and 100% functional iPhones that are restored and cleaned using industry best practices. Comprehensive Warranty Does the refurbished iPhone 12 come with a comprehensive warranty? At Reebelo, we offer two tiers of coverage - a complimentary vendor warranty and an extended protection plan that will add comprehensive coverage to the refurbished iPhone 12 against accidental drops and spills. Return Window & Policy Reeblo offers 30 days of free returns across the US. In case you change your mind or decide that your child isn't ready for this purchase, you can simply return it for a full refund. Sustainable, Eco-Friendly, and All Good Vibes Reebelo’s roots lie in good value and good values - a principle we all want to teach our kids. Exploring tech sustainability and refurbished electronics for your children’s first gadgets will set the right tone as they grow into responsible and caring humans.

iPhone 12 - The Best All-rounder As Your Child’s First Smartphone

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 $1000 for an A16 Bionic chip instead of the A15 in the iPhone 13 and the A14 in the iPhone 12? That’s a big commitment and 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 $1000+ 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 13th gen. 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 15th-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 an unrealistic expectation. It goes without saying that upgrading to any device in the 13 series 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 $500, or an iPhone 12, starting at $317, will give you inexpensive value plus performance longevity - making your investment worthwhile. The 12MP Front Camera Rumor has it that the 17th generation 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 (ON). 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?

The rumor mill churns at full speed every time we approach the season of upgrades, aka the<a href="https://reebelo.com/collections/apple-iphone?sort=latest-release" data-mce-href="https://reebelo.com/collections/apple-iphone?sort=latest-release"> launch of a shiny new iPhone</a>.

<a href="https://reebelo.com/blogs/iphone-11-pro-max-vs-iphone-12-pro-max-which-one-should-you-buy">Refurbished iPhone upgrades are a great example of inexpensive value</a> - 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 <a href="https://gizmodo.com.au/2023/11/where-to-buy-good-second-hand-gadgets-this-christmas/">gives you the best value for your money. </a>
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?

The Season of Upgrades - Will it Be an iPhone 15 or Is the iPhone 13 Good Enough for You?

Looking for a top-quality screen without the top dollar spent? 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 is 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 computer monitors are guaranteed to be 100% functional. They’re put on the resale market after strict quality checks 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.

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 in the preloved tech space. Vendor Warranty: The vendor warranty is similar to the manufacturer warranty.

Extended Warranty: Extended warranty with ReebloCare is an added benefit offered to our customers. It includes an extension of the vendor warranty by another 12 months + coverage for accidental spills, drops, and other mishaps you may encounter. For a nominal fee of $16.99, you can extend the lifespan of this BENQ monitor and enjoy your purchase fully.

Let’s break this down and take a closer look at the infamous specs and features that have changed how we use smartphones today. iPhone 11 Pro Max vs. Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Specs Overview iPhone 11 Pro Max - The Trend Setter The trendsetter - iPhone 11 Pro Max is the first combination of Pro + Max in Apple’s smartphone lineup. At its launch, it was given the Editor’s Choice Award by many publications. The Pro Max models offered just a tad extra to users who really paid attention to details. At 226g and 8.1mm thickness, it promises impressive picture and video qualities with the intimidating addition of the third camera. Weight 226g Dimensions 6.22 x 3.06 x 0.32 inches Display Size 6.5 inches Making a bold statement, this collection of triple cameras has broken records for the best 4K video on a smartphone. Compared to the iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro, the Max is an upgraded version when you want that extra oomph in your life. The rounded edges and smooth finish on this model had long become an Apple classic. Topped with a Gorilla glass shield, the phone has passed multiple drop tests to gauge durability and resistance. When released back in 2019, it was known to have the ‘toughest glass in a smartphone’. A comparison of used iPhone 11 Pro Max vs. iPhone 12 Pro Max reveals exciting colors for the former.

These details can be very important when you consider which phone would work best with your lifestyle, habits, and need for connectivity. iPhone 11 Pro Max vs. iPhone 12 Pro Max - What’s Your Pick?

The 11 Pro Max by Apple has a wider range of storage options. It starts with a base model of 64GB and works its way up to 256GB and 512 GB.

If you are prone to dropping your phone, then pick iPhone 12 Pro Max. iPhone 12 Pro Max is coated with a heavy-duty ceramic shield that makes the device up to four times more durable and drop-resistant. In several drop tests, the 12 Pro Max came out unscathed - with no corner chipping or pixel damage.

Your Comprehensive Guide for the Best Refurbished Security Cameras

You’d recognize that shiny, unifold surface anywhere. That powerful presence of a quick, efficient processor. The smooth, rounded edges, engineered with so much craftsmanship. And a hefty price tag. Is there a way to own the laptop you’ve always wanted without breaking the bank? Is a used MacBook Pro a good investment? You’ve asked a question that many simply think. So, bravo for that. You’re bold and courageous to consider a refurbished and used MacBook as your machine of choice. Now, let’s show you what a wise decision you’re about to make. 4 Reasons a Used MacBook Pro Is a Good Investment Quality tech is an investment you want to cash in for years to come. With the aim to streamline your tasks, make life easier, and be your go-to laptop, buying a MacBook Pro needn’t become a burden on your finances. At Reebelo, a certified refurbished Apple MacBook Pro is an ideal pick for anyone who wants a quality device that is 100% functional and comes with perks like extended warranty and free shipping. And if you must spend that 40% (we know the temptation!), you can pair useful accessories like the refurbished AirPods you’ve always wanted or a refurbished monitor like an HP, Dell, or iMac to elevate your home office experience. And as you rejoice in that revelation, let’s talk about why a used MacBook Pro can be a great investment for you. You love a MacBook Pro. But you cherish your money more. Let’s keep doing that… The MacBook Pro series is a professional lineup by Apple. It boasts the most robust processor and horsepower by the company and comes with savvy features that make work and commuting easier. So, while these are a nice-to-have for any Pro-level laptop user, this package comes at a price. For instance, the latest 14-inch M2, 10 Core CPU MacBook costs $1999.00. 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. You can find early models like the MacBook Pro 2011 13.3” starting at $200 all the way up to the latest MacBook Pro 2022 13.3” starting at $985. Depending on the condition and storage configurations you choose, you can save up to 40% on your purchase. As for the quality, rest assured. We hand-pick our vendors and pass every refurbished MacBook Pro through 70+ quality checks. Reebelo’s trustworthiness stems from these details. You will always be satisfied with your purchase. If not, you can make use of the 30-day returns, and our customer service team is always ready to help. You can get a bigger, better screen & processor for less.

When buying refurbished, you can easily upgrade to a bigger, better quality screen - and for less money. Isn’t that an easy choice? With the same budget - or less - you can pick from a wide range of Pro options like a 15.4” or 16” screen, M1 or M2 processor, TouchBar or no TouchBar, 8 Core or 10 Core, and 256GB or 1TB. 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. A new Apple MacBook Pro passes strict quality tests and is sold to a buyer. A refurbished MacBook passes these quality tests again when the first buyer sells it back. It’s vetted twice for hardware, internal parts, RAM, and aesthetics before making it to the shelf again. What we’re really saying is we care about what our customers buy. 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. Now that’s a win-win 🏆. You earn a feather in your cap. You’re a planet-saver now. What’s that? A MacBook Pro owner and a sustainability patron? Now those are the plaques you want to hold high with pride. Reebelo’s mission to make refurbished devices like MacBook Pro a norm stems from the need for sustainability. Our planet is in need of a circular economy that encourages the reuse of tech devices because the carbon-rich manufacturing process alone contributes 95%of emissions to the environment. Read more about this environmental impact on our blog. Reducing our carbon footprint is possible, and like we said, you’ve boldly taken that first step by giving refurbished a try.

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

Are you on the hunt for the best back-to-school laptop deals? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Reebelo’s wide selection of laptops is certified refurbished, environment-friendly, and priced just right, keeping you within budget as you start college. From the lightest, most portable to the best user-friendly features, there’s a device for everyone. All packaged with 30-day returns, 12 months of warranty, and free shipping. What Specs are the Best for Back-to-School Laptops? If this is the first time you’re looking for a refurbished back-to-school laptop, you’re likely wondering how to choose the best one. What features should it have? How much should it cost? And what will the term ‘refurbished’ mean? Let’s break it down for you. Here’s what you should be looking for in the best back-to-school refurbed laptop deals. Storage - You’ll need plenty of storage to keep all your files, assignments, and notes in one place. We recommend opting for 256GB of storage to ensure you don’t run out of device capacity. If you need more, an external hard drive is a wise choice. Weight - Busy days with back-to-back classes call for school essentials that are light and easy to carry. A good laptop should be no exception. Chromebooks and MacBook Air series are known to be the lightest, most portable machines in the market. Make sure you check the thickness and weight of the laptop in the specifications category on the product pages. Battery Life - Long days feel better when you’re wireless - thanks to a long and reliable battery life. A refurbished laptop meant to be used for school is built with a robust battery that lasts 9+ hours - giving a full day of wireless connectivity. Processing Power - Intuition may make you look for a powerful laptop with high processing speeds. However, you’d be surprised to know that high processing power is not needed for a back-to-school laptop. Basic mid-range machines can easily tackle school and college assignments, editing, email drafting, PowerPoint presentations, and more. An Intel i5 or even an i3 will be a good fit (and a great price point too). Screen Size - With compactness and portability topping your priority list, choosing a screen size of 11” makes the most sense. It will be big enough to give a pleasant viewing experience without adding bulk to your backpack. However, if you prefer a bigger screen, a 15”-17” laptop will work well too. As for ‘ what does a refurbished laptop mean’, it’s simple. Reebelo’s certified refurbished tech covers a range of preloved lifestyle tech that has been cleaned, fixed, sanitized, troubleshot, and restored to full working order. A quick peak on Reebelo and you’ll see back-to-school laptops in ‘good’, ‘very good’, ‘pristine’, and ‘as-new’ condition gradings.

The Best Back-to-School Laptop Deals - Refurbished & Just Right

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 with their refurbished iPhones 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 sporting 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 differentiate 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. Packaged with 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 30-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 trust-building. 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.

5 Must-Have Portable Refurbished Devices for Your Summer Travels 

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 $170 for this MacBook Air 2014 13.3" to $1400 for one of the latest MacBook Pro 2022 13.3" 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 tor iPad 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 11.6" 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 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 ensure your purchase is truly an investment. Do You Want a Light Apple Laptop? The lightest Apple Laptop around is the MacBook Air 2022. Weighing 2.7 pounds, you’ll forget it’s even in your backpack all day long. It’s a great addition to your travel arsenal, especially if you find yourself killing time during layovers. 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 30-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 ✅

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/collections/apple-macbook-air-2013-11-6-inch">MacBook Air 2013 11.6"</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 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/collections/apple-macbook-pro-2022-13-3-inch?storage=256GB&amp;color=Silver&amp;cpu=Apple+M2+Chip+8+Core+CPU&amp;ram=8GB&amp;condition=Good">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/collections/apple-macbook-pro-2015-15-4-inch?storage=1TB&amp;color=Silver&amp;cpu=Intel+Core+i7+2.2GHz&amp;ram=16GB&amp;condition=Good">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 ensure your purchase is truly an investment. 
<h3>Do You Want a Light Apple Laptop? </h3>
The lightest Apple Laptop around is the <a href="https://reebelo.com/collections/apple-macbook-air-2022-13-6-inch?storage=256GB&amp;color=Silver&amp;cpu=Apple+M2+Chip+%288+Core+GPU%29&amp;ram=8GB&amp;condition=Excellent">MacBook Air 2022</a>. Weighing 2.7 pounds, you’ll forget it’s even in your backpack all day long. It’s a great addition to your travel arsenal, especially if you find yourself killing time during layovers.
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!

Refurbished Tech Deals That Will Light Up Father’s Day

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.

Shop Your Favorite Refurbished Devices on Reebelo Now With Affirm.

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.

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 &amp; 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 <a href="https://www.worldenvironmentday.global/">World Environment Day 2023</a>, 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.
<h2>Top 3 Ways Buying Refurbished Makes a Difference</h2>
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.
<h3>Reduced emission-intensive mining &amp; manufacturing</h3>
We’ve previously talked about<a href="https://reebelo.com/blogs/news/we-re-calling-it-here-s-the-environmental-impact-of-your-smartphone"> the emission-intensive manufacturing process for hi-tech gadgets</a> on our blog. A quick recap, a smartphone:
<ul>
<li>Requires mining of roughly 10% glass and ceramics, 60% metals, and 30% plastics. </li>
<li>Releases 170.4lbs of carbon emissions</li>
<li>Uses 77,000 liters of water</li>
<li>Creates 6.29oz of e-waste</li>
<li>Takes $500+ out of your pocket!</li>
</ul>
 
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%, <a href="https://theconversation.com/how-smartphones-are-heating-up-the-planet-92793">growing from 17 megatons to 125 megatons a year</a>. That’s the lion’s share compared to any other devices we use on a daily basis.

3 Ways Your Smartphone Will Reduce Your Carbon Footprint if Bought Refurbished

You’ve turned your dream small business plan into reality. You’re about to hire and grow your team. You have the resources to start accepting orders. And you’re now at the important juncture where you decide the type of technology and hardware to put in place. You’ve heard a lot about refurbished electronics lately. There are multiple sellers stocking reconditioned or pre-owned laptops, cameras, and other office equipment that you need. But really is buying refurbished devices a good idea? You’re hesitant to make this call. We get it. It’s an important choice, especially when the technology you put in place has a direct impact on business performance. Truth be told, there’s immense value in buying refurbished electronics for a small business. Value that will feed into your biggest performance indicator - the ROI. Are Refurbished Electronics A Smart Move for Small Business Owners? First thing first - let’s close our eyes and shake off those jarring images of broken screens, dusty laptops, and locked phones that no one has used for decades. Those are all myths about refurbished tech. Follow along, and you’ll be surprised to see how refreshing refurbished electronics can be! In an enlightening Refurbished Computer and Laptop Market report, small and medium sized enterprises were ranked as the largest group of buyers of refurbished laptops. With education and government institutions following close behind, these figures contribute to the compound annual growth rate of 11% to the circular tech industry. So, yes you’re certainly not alone here. Regions like North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific carry the baton for using refurbished technology in business sectors. If you’re on the fence about the worth of refurbished electronics, let’s get some insight into their value for your small business. Refurbished Electronics Give You Inexpensive Value Your small business is your brainchild. You want quality products to make sure it kicks off. Refurbished electronics provide inexpensive value where you still get the best tech without breaking the bank. You’re not looking for cheap, cut-price items. You’re interested in refurbished, value-laden products that are 100% functional and are backed by excellent customer service. When bought from a certified, trustworthy seller, refurbished can help you save money while being covered by comprehensive warranty. Refurbished Technology Helps Cut Training Costs There’s something familiar (and comforting!) about a technological ecosystem you’ve always used. You know your way around it, you know what to do - and well, what not to. There’s no training downtime. And hence, no additional costs. That’s an option refurbished tech provides, especially for small businesses, so you can hit the ground running. Models and systems that have been discontinued are often available in the preloved market. They’re spruced up and upgraded with the latest bells and whistles, and are ready for a fulfilling second life with a new owner. Reconditioned Devices Make Your Business Eco-Friendly Being an eco-friendly business is no longer a ‘nice touch’. As awareness about tech waste and the impact of carbon emissions rises, a huge percentage of your market will only buy from sustainable businesses. According to DIY Marketers, 80% of the small businesses interviewed believed sustainability was important to 70% of their buyers. Hence, as you build your business from the ground up, adding green and sustainable practices to the core will be a great way to set the tone for success. Refurbished Technology is A Great Way to Try New Tech Thinking of automating your point of sales with iPads? Trying refurbished tech is a great way to initiate this change while staying within budgets. You can choose between various refurbished tablet or iPad models, price points, and quantities - all depending on the scale of automation needed. Not only will this minimize your fear of this change falling through the cracks, it will also help recover investments with certified buyback programs. Refurbished Phones and Laptops Can Be Upgraded Easily This is where the true worth of the circular economy lies. There is so much more life in a laptop, phone or tablet beyond the 2-3 years after it is launched. While upgrading will definitely be needed down the line, as your business starts operations, doing so with preloved devices won’t put unnecessary financial strain. It will help keep capital expenditures to a minimum as you expand and work on creative ideas. Therefore, refurbished phones, laptops, and cameras present an opportunity to upgrade with devices that are already in the market - making your purchases eco-friendly and helping eliminate a percentage of carbon emissions as well. Grow Your Business with Refurbished Electronics You started your business to offer a service, a solution to a problem that will be appreciated by the market. And to continue doing that, you need the best technology in place. Refurbished electronics like certified preloved laptops, reconditioned cameras, and renewed tablets are a great way to add value and grow your business. They help reduce upfront cost with the upside of becoming sustainable and eco-friendly. Now that is a savvy business choice. We're happy to help!

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 our 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 refurbished everyday 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 the country up its efforts to reduce carbon footprint! 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 🙌

Green Technology Trends to Watch in 2023

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 help 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. 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 undergo critical tests before being 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 90%-80% battery life, depending on the condition grading you choose. Are You Buying from a Trustworthy Seller? The source of your purchase greatly impacts 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 XR 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 are expected to account for 49% of the total market growth. More and more people can see the value of 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 like Reebelo 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 a 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 are 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.

You think long and hard<a href="https://reebelo.com/blogs/iphone-11-pro-max-vs-iphone-12-pro-max-which-one-should-you-buy"> before buying an iPhone.</a> 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 <a href="https://reebelo.com/blogs/news/busting-5-myths-about-the-best-refurbished-laptops">misconceptions around the word ‘refurbished</a>' 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 <a href="https://reebelo.com/collections/apple-iphone?sort=latest-release">quality check a refurbished iPhone</a> 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 <a href="https://reebelo.com/blogs/news/iphone-12-the-best-all-rounder-as-your-child-s-first-smartphone">refurbished iPhone should check all the boxes of quality assurance.</a>
<h2>Checklist to Gauge the Quality of Your Refurbished iPhone</h2>
So, what should you look for when buying a refurbished iPhone? Here are 5 tips that can help make your assessment of a preloved device accurate. 
<h3>Are the Speakers and Camera Working?</h3>
Most technical issues will be apparent as you start using the speakers and camera. 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<a href="https://reebelo.com/collections/apple-iphone-14-plus"> 4K Dolby Vision Cinematic Mode of the iPhone 14 Plus</a> 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. 
<h3>Is Battery Life as Promised?</h3>
Battery life is a critical element when you quality-check a refurbished iPhone. You can simply go into Settings -&gt; Battery -&gt; Battery Health to ensure that the device has a functional and high-performing battery. Remember, refurbished iPhones undergo critical tests before being 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 90%-80% battery life, depending on the condition grading you choose.
<h3>Are You Buying from a Trustworthy Seller? </h3>
The source of your purchase greatly impacts how well a refurbished iPhone works. We strongly recommend you <a href="https://reebelo.com/blogs/news/is-reebelo-trustworthy-you-asked-we-answered">spend some time researching the trustworthiness and credibility of the seller.</a> 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 <a href="https://reebelo.com/blogs/news/is-a-used-macbook-pro-a-good-investment">you browse Reebelo’s extensive marketplace</a> for refurbished iPhones look out for the Trustpilot rating stars so you can shop with peace of mind.
<h3>Are You Protected with Warranty?</h3>
Does the <a href="https://reebelo.com/collections/apple-iphone-xr">used Apple iPhone XR</a> 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.<a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/insurance/is-smartphone-insurance-worth-buying-a4827419361/"> Many of them now offer extended smartphone insurance</a> provided you have a valid warranty at the time of purchase.
<h3>Are You Eligible for a Return?</h3>
<a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/9637/refurbished-smartphones-in-the-us/#topicOverview">Used and refurbished smartphones </a>within North America alone are expected to comprise 27% of the total market share by 2024. Other prominent regions like APAC are expected to account for 49% of the total market growth.
More and more people can see the value of 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 like Reebelo 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 a return within this time frame.
<h3></h3>
<h2>Is Refurbished the Way to Go Then?</h2>
Refurbished is a great way to upgrade your current phone with the iPhone of your dreams without breaking the bank. There are 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 ✨.

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 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 <a href="https://www.austrade.gov.au/benchmark-report/innovation-skills#:~:text=This%20makes%20us%20one%20of,science%2C%20clinical%20medicine%20and%20genetics.">tech sector is worth A$167 billion</a>. 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 <a href="https://www.climatechangenews.com/2021/10/26/australia-relying-offsets-future-technology-meet-2050-net-zero-target/">“delivering results through technology, not taxes.”</a> 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 <a href="https://thefifthestate.com.au/home-and-lifestyle/consumers/ninety-per-cent-of-australian-consumers-want-sustainable-products/">almost 90% want to make sustainable, refurbished purchases</a>. 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.

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.

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, they 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’ 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 of 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, 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!

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.

Adele Goldberg’s work inspired Steve Jobs’ 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<a href="https://reebelo.com/collections/apple-macbook-air-2022-13-6-inch"> favorite high-resolution, liquid retina displays with bursting colors</a> would have never seen the light of day.
<blockquote>
Pearls of wisdom from Adele: “Don’t ask whether you can do something, but how to do it.” 
</blockquote>
<h4>2. Sheryl Sandberg</h4>
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...
<blockquote>
Pearls of wisdom from Sheryl: “In the future, there will be no women leaders, there will only be leaders.”
</blockquote>
<h4>3. Sandy Lerner</h4>
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.
<blockquote>
Pearls of wisdom from Sandy: “Do not give control to outside investors.
</blockquote>
<h4>4. Reshma Saujani</h4>
For Reshma, gender gaps and inequality in the field of coding were simply unacceptable. A graduate of the University of Illinois, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and Yale Law, this trailblazer founded a unique organization called<a href="https://girlswhocode.com/"> Girls Who Code</a> 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 &amp; Change the World” to make this knowledge easily accessible to the masses.
<blockquote>
Pearls of wisdom from Reshma: “If you haven’t failed yet, you haven’t tried anything.
</blockquote>
<h4>5. Gwynne Shotwell</h4>
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.
<blockquote>
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.”
</blockquote>
<h4>
6. Donna Dubinsky </h4>
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, Donna’s contribution to the<a href="https://reebelo.com/collections/apple-iphone?sort=best-selling"> cutting-edge software and processors we see in the latest Apple iPhones</a> can never be forgotten.
<blockquote>
Pearls of wisdom by Donna: “It strikes as a fundamental human need to be organized.”

<h2>What International Women’s Day 2023 Means at Reebelo</h2>
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 –<a href="https://www.unwomen.org/en/news-stories/announcement/2022/12/international-womens-day-2023-digitall-innovation-and-technology-for-gender-equality#:~:text=Announcement-,International%20Women's%20Day%202023%3A%20%E2%80%9CDigitALL%3A%20Innovation,and%20technology%20for%20gender%20equality%E2%80%9D&amp;text=The%20theme%20for%20International%20Women's,and%20technology%20for%20gender%20equality%E2%80%9D."> innovation and technological change for equality</a> – 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!
