The Retina 3.5 inch display on the Apple iPhone 4 hits you with a clarity of visuals not yet experienced on a smartphone. The individual pixels are so fine the human eye cannot see them and so brings an unparalleled high-definition experience. The 5 megapixel camera takes full advantage of this optical range and offers tap-to-focus, geo-tagging, LED flash/light, iMovie editor and video capture at 720p/30fps.
Multitasking no longer drains the battery and allows the built-in iPod to play music and videos whilst downloading the latest iBook or navigating your journey with the help of A-GPS, maps and a digital compass. The fun side of the iPhone offers 3D motion-sensing game play and the Safari Web browser gives access to more than 200,000 downloadable applications as well as putting the Internet at the touch of your fingers.
In-call features include 2 video cameras that can capture the user as well as their surroundings and dual microphones for a superior quality of sound. Messages are kept in one unified inbox and the menu assists in keeping things organised with applications that can be placed into folders.
The 16GB Apple iPhone 4 has a stylish design with a black stainless steel band and flat glossy surfaces with a fingerprint resistant coating. Truly the must have gadget, the iPhone 4 is set to make most other smartphones look rather mediocre.

just took delivery of my new iphone 4.0 thanks for the advice. Cheers
Thanks Martin, I couldnt wait to get an iphone and this has saved me a lot of running around. I got my iphone 4 refreshed from 3. I don’t see how it is refreshed because it looks brand new to me. I took the top end package at £45 per month, so I didn’t have to pay anything for the phone. Once again, thanks for this information you provided. I am delighted
You’re welcome Ryan. When I first heard about this refreshed Iphone 4, I wasn’t too sure about it. But when I looked at the prices, I felt I just had to let People know about it. Its good to get a positive response about the phone. I think some People are confused as to wether They are getting a new iphone or a refreshed one. The links on this page do take you to an area of the 3 Store which supplies the refreshed phone. So the prices you see, will be for the refreshed iphone 4
I was just checking out the updated info on this iphone 4 refreshed. It comes with all you can eat data ( unlimited internet usage ) I think the
£35now £30 deal is pretty good. You pay £69 up front costs, and you get 2000 minutes talk time 5000 texts and 5000 minutes three to three calls!Thank-you for the info on this page I got iPhone today. Not a mark on it and its amazing
Thanks for your comment Carly.
You are very welcome. I am really pleased this information is helping People to make an informed choice about the refreshed Iphone 4. I have not received one negative review about it yet.
I am well chuffed with my iPhone. Got it a couple of days ago . Thanks for your advice
Don’t miss out on the top tip deal for this iphone. This has proved to be very popular. But I don’t know how long the link will be active. I check it on a daily basis, just to make sure it works. Good luck. I hope the link still works when you click it!
Hi. I m about to order the refreshed iphone. Can you tell be if you have heard about any problems with it. Thanks
Hi Steve.
We have only had one negative response for the refreshed iphone 4. But the Customer was not dissapointed. He sent it back & got another one straight away. You are protected by the distance selling rules when you make a purchase online. As long as you return the phone in the same condition with all the packaging intact, you can return it. But in general, we get a very positive response for the refreshed iphone 4.
This is what I got today. A plain white box with 3 on it. An iphone 4 refreshed. There is no way this is a used phone. I just wanted to thank you for the information on this website, everything you say is very accurate. The phone looks great.
Thanks
I ordered this deal and it should be arriving today, will let you know how it went.
I called 3 to buy this deal over the phone but the advisor said they were not in stock, which is weird as the link still works. She tried to talk me into buying a new one but the sales talk didn’t work, lol
Hi Ammo
Thanks for your comment.
Not everyone has access to this product. As long as the links on this page still take you to the refreshed iphone, it should still be available!
It would be good to hear from you again regarding this product.
I was tidying this page up a while back, and managed to lose a lot of the comments. All very positive by the way!
Took delivery of my refreshed iphone 4 today, as mentioned earlier came in a white box with 3 on it. Amazing condition that’s all I can say, you cannot tell the difference between it and a brand new one. Not a single mark on it, absolutely mint condition.
A big thank you to Martin for all the information, with this deal you can’t lose out. If I had the money I would more of them.
Thanks for your comment Ammo
I heard somewhere, that the refreshed is actually better than a new phone. They reckon all the glitches have been removed from them!
Just a quick comment regarding price. If you read the comments above you would have seen £35. It has been reduced to £30 for a limited period, for the duration of your contract!
I’m an idiot. I got a refurbished iphone delivered yesterday and it just looks old. Why didn’t I look for this information before I ordered it.
I’m going to see if I can send it back and change it for a refrshed iphone
Yay. They changed it for me. What a difference. They sent me a refreshed iphone, and like the guys say above, it looks as good as new.
Thanks for this. your information was very helpful. Even though I got it wrong first time, it is now put right.
I bought an iPhone 4 refreshed. No problem till the lock button became depressed and stopped working. Was advised to take it Apple shop as it was within it’s warranty. 6 weeks left. At the Apple shop it was discovered it was still registered to the previous owner!! The warranty had ended even though I did not purchase it till 6 weeks later. Supposed to have 12 months warranty but due to details not being ‘refreshed’ I have been left with a phone Apple won’t touch as it’s out of warranty. Too complicated for 3 to change these details so have now agreed to replace. No 16GB available so have upgraded to 32GB free of charge! This new one is not refreshed as it has completely put me off!!! I hadn’t realised what refreshed had meant until this experience.. Wish I had found your blog earlier!
Sounds as though 3 have done the right thing by you. This is the second issue, I have been made aware of. But 3 have done the right thing and replaced the phone on both occasions
