Repair and buy refurbished instead of new, a habit worth having 📱

Let’s be realistic: we live in a society where, when something breaks, we tend to buy new instead of fixing it.

Buying isn’t necessarily bad… especially when you choose refurbished. It gives a second life to products that already exist, so why not give it a shot if repairing wasn’t in your plans?

I know you’re eyeing that iPhone™ 17 Pro 2TB — it’s gorgeous, right? But are you aware of the environmental impact of a brand-new device? We’re talking kilos upon kilos of CO₂, not even counting the damage from mining lithium or cobalt. Every new smartphone is a bit like giving the planet a cigarette. So how about we try being kind to it?

When you repair your device, you massively reduce your carbon footprint — no need to be Greta Thunberg! Battery dying? Just replace it without triggering the whole production and transport chain of a new product. Pretty cool, right?

Still not convinced? Let’s talk the universal language: money. This one everyone gets (especially your wallet, which will be super happy). A broken screen or tired battery can be replaced quickly and for a fraction of the cost — unlike the €1300 iPhone™ 17. Go on… take it out of your cart.

Nowadays, there are plenty of places in cities, and in Reims in particular, that can give a quick free diagnosis, replace your parts with original or equivalent ones, and even carry out on-the-spot repairs. They finish fast and give a warranty, so your phone comes back looking and working like new.

Whether you repair your device or buy it refurbished, you’re doing a favor to both your wallet and the planet. Instead of just throwing it away, which is sad for it… why not give it a second chance?

So, why not give it a try?
