Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

What payment options are available?

We offer a variety of payment options to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible! You can pay using all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay, Zip Pay, and PayPal. If you prefer, we also accept bank deposits and even cash for in-store purchases!

Description

Apple iPhone 5s 16GB Black — 64-Bit A7 Chip & Touch ID

The iPhone 5s introduced Touch ID fingerprint security and the world's first 64-bit mobile processor — the A7 chip — making it genuinely fast for everyday tasks while remaining remarkably compact. This 16GB Black model is fully unlocked for any Australian carrier and backed by a full 12-month warranty from Reboot IT (Melbourne, est. 2001).

Key Benefits

  • Apple A7 64-Bit Processor: The first 64-bit chip in any smartphone — delivers desktop-class performance for calls, apps, and browsing without hesitation.
  • Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor: Unlock your phone and authorise purchases with a single touch — fast, secure, and works even with slightly damp fingers.
  • 4-Inch Retina Display: 1136×640 at 326 ppi — crisp text and vivid images in a genuinely one-handed size.
  • 4G LTE: Fast mobile data on Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone — video calls, streaming, and browsing at full speed away from Wi-Fi.
  • 8MP iSight Camera: Slow-motion 120fps video, burst mode, and improved low-light performance — still excellent for everyday photography.
  • Fully Unlocked: Any Australian carrier SIM — no network lock, no restrictions, no carrier apps.

Performance in Use

The A7 chip and 1GB RAM keep everyday tasks running smoothly — calls, WhatsApp, email, Safari, and most apps all perform well. Touch ID makes unlocking fast enough that it barely registers as an action; you're in the phone before you've finished lifting it to your face.

The iPhone 5s supports iOS up to 12.5.7 — substantially newer than the iPhone 5 — meaning a wider range of current apps remain compatible, including most banking apps, WhatsApp, email clients, and streaming services. This is a practical everyday smartphone rather than just a backup device.

The 4-inch form factor is a deliberate choice for many users. It fits in a shirt pocket, is comfortable to hold for long periods, and doesn't require two hands for typing. As a dedicated work phone, travel SIM device, or budget-friendly primary phone, it handles the job reliably.
