If you buy an officially refurbished iPhone, you get an unlocked device that comes with a brand new battery, a new outer shell, and ships in a plain box with a USB-C cable. Apple covers these under its warranty as well, and they are eligible for extended AppleCare+ or AppleCare One coverage. The refurbished iPhones are also thoroughly cleaned and tested, and should be virtually indistinguishable from brand new devices.
