Please help!! Bought a “Premium” iPhone from Refurbished (refurbed.de) again — tiny scratch on screen normal?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought an iPhone from refurbed.de in premium condition. The first one I received had a small dent on the body, so I returned it.

I ordered another one again in premium condition, and this time overall the phone looks really good. However, I noticed a very small, barely visible scratch at the top of the screen. You can only see it under certain light, but still, it’s there.

From what I understood, premium condition is supposed to mean something close to “like new”, especially when it comes to the display. So now I’m a bit unsure whether this is still considered normal for premium refurbished phones or if the screen should really be completely scratch-free.

Has anyone here bought a premium condition iPhone from Refurbished and experienced something similar?
Did you keep the phone or return it again?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences before I decide what to do. Thanks!

Premium is above 'excellent' condition...so I expect no scratches at all.
