Best Buy Refurbished is the pick for buyers who want a phone in hand the same day. A search for refurbished iPhones returned 1,068 results in cell phones, with dedicated sections for refurbished iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and Motorola phones. Listings carry a grade in the title, such as Refurbished Excellent, and on the check date an unlocked iPhone 14 128GB in that grade cost $299 with free shipping, while another listing showed pickup today and free delivery the next day. Filters cover carrier compatibility, storage and price, and refurbished results sit next to open-box and new phones so you can compare. The weakness for this list is documentation: the page we checked did not state a warranty length or inspection standard, so check each listing before you buy. That is why it ranks last for buyers who put warranty first. We compared documented policies and published prices only.
