Hey guys , I would like know what's you're opinion about im would like to buya refurbished iphone 5..is there any of you know where I can get the best price.?whats the different if igeta refurbished iphone n 2nd hand iphone.

Refurbished phone is certified working & good condition by Apple, whereas 2nd hand phone is certified by the person you buy from BTW, refurbished iphones do come with warranty from Apple whereas 2nd hand one will not (unless the set you buy still have remaining warranty from Apple)

Does the warranty cover for a year just like buying a new one?

Yes, full 1 year from Apple

i found out some shop like Comp Asia My (compasiamy) selling refurbished sets, however the warranty is covered by the shop and not from Apple.

does it mean that the term "refurbished" is self-claim by the shop?

i don't think Apple sells refurbished iPhones, maybe in the US.
but i don't think in Malaysia, we only get refurbished iPhones as replacement for a damaged iPhone that we sent in for warranty claims
even so the warranty is only 90 days

if you want to buy refub unit in malaysia, u can refer to here Machines Clearance & Refub

it depends on whether the refurbishment is done by Apple themselves or by other shops.

If Apple refurbed, it'll come with a 3 months warranty and you can check that at their self solve website.
