The thought of buying an iPhone 11 Pro refurbished often comes with concerns over quality, which leaves many asking themselves whether the device will last the duration of their phone contract, or even the time needed to save up for the latest iPhone version.

Well, what they don't know is that a refurbished phone can act practically brand new when restored correctly.

And that's what UR excels at.

• Size and Weight: Just 2.81 inches wide and 5.67 inches high, and weighs a mere 6.63 ounces.

• Display: Super Retina XDR, 5.8-inch OLED Multi-Touch, HDR, with 2436 by-1125 pixel resolution at 458 ppi.

• Chip: A13 Bionic chip accompanied by a Third-generation Neural Engine.

Okay, so we've hashed out the specs, but what about the look and feel of this beauty? Enter the iPhone 11 Pro design, a thing of wonder.

A polished stainless steel band wraps around a textured matte glass back, blending industrial sturdiness with boutique elegance.

Now, the iPhone 11 Pro might look like the twin of the iPhone 11, but the devil is in the detail.

Apart from replacing the iPhone 11's aluminium sides, the iPhone 11 Pro also have smaller borders around the end of its screen, adding a sense of luxury to its all-screen display that slighter removed from its more inexpensive alternative.

And that's not all; the Apple iPhone 11 Pro also comes in a choice of black, silver, gold and green - all allowing you a sense of self-expression whilst maintaining its high-quality, sleek aesthetic.

So, we've nailed the physical allure, but what are you really staring at all day? The Super Retina XDR display, of course.

Yes, it's a mouthful, but for good reason.

Dubbed the brightest display ever in an iPhone during its creation, this screen doesn't just talk the talk—it walks the walk.

Measuring at 5.85 inches diagonally, the display has curved corners that follow a graceful design. And it's not just about how big the screen is, but also about how crisp the visuals are.

It makes a world of difference, whether you're editing a portrait in your camera app or watching videos that need to pop.

In many accounts, the 'notch' at the top of the display to hide the iPhone front camera could be perceived as off-putting to those who used the Dynamic Island feature found in later generations.

But don't let that deter you from its design.

With its vivid display and the phone's range of other features, you'll barely know it's there after a few minutes of usage.

While we've been raving about the aesthetics and display, let's shift gears and talk about the real hero—the battery.

You can have the sleekest phone on the street, but if it's dead by noon, then we're all left in a pickle.

With a 3046mAh battery capacity, the iPhone 11 Pro boasts a solid 14.5% longer battery life compared to the iPhone XS.

If you're a numbers person, that equates to 10 hours and 24 minutes of battery life in a typical usage scenario.

And if you're a fan of offline streaming, expect the device to stick with you for an impressive 18 hours of video playback.

Now, these figures are ballpark estimates, varying depending on your daily phone habits.

But hey, if you're opting for a refurbished model, you can breathe easy knowing it arrives with a minimum of 80% battery health.

But the best feature of this device is undeniably the iPhone's camera.

Described as a whole new camera system during its release, the iPhone 11 Pro comes with a front camera and three rear cameras that take your photographing game up a notch when compared to previous generations.

When you buy these devices, you can expect the following:

• Front Camera: 12MP TrueDepth, fixed-focus, 23mm-equivalent f/2.2-aperture lens

• Rear Camera Array: Triple-lens 12MP

  
  

  • Ultra-wide-angle lens: 120-degree field of view, 2x optical zoom out

  • Wide lens: f/1.8 aperture

  • Telephoto lens: f/2.0 aperture, 2x optical zoom in and out

How is it different from previous models?

Well, the iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max are the first Apple iPhones to have a triple-lens camera system with ultra-wide, wide and telephoto cameras.

But how does the camera app hold up?

A camera's hardware prowess is just half the story; it's the software that turns raw capability into photographic art.

With the iPhone 11 Pro, it's like having a mini photo studio in your pocket, thanks to its feature-rich camera app.

Take Night Mode, for example. It's the caped crusader for all your very low light adventures, capturing details and colours that even your eyes might miss.

Smart HDR is another superstar, making sure every click is worthy of a frame by adding nuanced tonality and detail.

Forget about those washed-out midday shots; with Smart HDR, every hour is golden hour.

This isn't just about taking great photos; it's also about the ease of the journey from lens to screen.

The camera app facilitates almost magical transitions between the triple-camera setup, ensuring that you can go from ultra-wide to telephoto without any jarring shifts.

Nor does the quality decline with the zoom.

With this feature, you can get up close and personal with your subject without sacrificing an iota of quality.

With people clocking an average of 4 hours and 14 minutes daily on their smartphones, it's clear that these gadgets aren't just luxuries; they're lifelines.

And lifelines can be costly—almost £21,000 in a lifetime on electronic gizmos, including a staggering 16 mobile phones.

But what if I told you, you could snag all these marvels without burning a hole in your wallet?

Enter the magic word: Refurbished. It's the golden ticket to retrieving a device that's kinder to your pocket.

Depending on the product and its condition, you're looking at a potential savings jackpot—anywhere from 10% to 70% off the original sticker price.

That could be extra money for a day out, or extra accessories for your refurbished phone.

So why not save some pennies by going down a different avenue?

So, let's get those concerns answered.

You're not sacrificing anything here.

Everything from Dark Mode to the iTunes store is accessible.

You'll find your favourite settings, just like on a new phone, right where you expect them—whether it's long-press options on your lock screen or the automatic mode that optimises everything for you.

The stereo speakers are just as punchy, and the headphone jack—or the lack thereof—is identical.

Trust us, when it comes to sound, there's no difference between a shiny new phone and one of UR's high-quality refurbished models.

Whether you're a casual gamer or an app aficionado, performance doesn't suffer.

From the matte finish that offers a solid grip to the frosted glass that adds a touch of class, it's all the same.

Both the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone XS Max are considered luxury Apple devices. The main difference, however, comes down to the cameras.

Unlike the latter, the iPhone 11 Pro comes with an additional 12-megpixel ultra wide lens, meaning the camera has a wider field of vision.

So, you've gone through the iPhone 11 Pro's A to Z, from its Super Retina XDR screen to its extended battery life and that camera setup—just wow.

And you even got some detail on why going refurbished with UR is like hitting the jackpot when it comes to affordability.
