Turns out they are refurbished phones.

I doubt they have the skill-set to refurbish iPhones.

Yup, once it is bend it cannot be unbend

On a serious note:

This may be Apple Store, but our networks also did this with the iPhone 5 launch:

Here’s what Apple told Wired via email about the iPhone Reuse and Recycling Program:

“iPhones hold great value. So, Apple Retail Stores are launching a new program to assist customers who wish to bring in their previous-generation iPhone for reuse or recycling. In addition to helping support the environment, customers will be able to receive a credit for their returned phone that they can use toward the purchase of a new iPhone.”

The trade-in, refurbishing, and resale of the iPhones is all being conducted by BrightStar. The company is able to offer Apple real-time pricing information for trade-ins on the Apple Store EasyPay devices.
