Apple might have positioned its new iPhone XR as the „budget“ iPhone of the current generation, but if you’re looking for a recent iPhone and want to save a few hundred dollars, Apple has introduced an intriguing deal you should check out.
Apple might have positioned its new iPhone XR as the “budget” iPhone of the current generation, but if you’re looking for a recent iPhone and want to save a few hundred dollars, Apple has introduced an intriguing deal you should check out. Recently, Apple began selling refurbished 64GB iPhone 8 models from its online store. That’s $100 cheaper than the current suggested retail price of a brand new iPhone 8 from Apple or a third-party retailer.
Apple tests and certifies all of its refurbished devices itself and includes a 1-year warranty, so even if something goes wrong, you’re still covered for a year. Apple guarantees that all refurbished devices come with a brand new battery, a new outer shell, and a new white box, but you might not get the original packaging.
Supply is limited, but as long as Apple receives your full payment, you are guaranteed to receive a refurbished phone. If you are desperate to replace a new iPhone, but aren’t ready to shell out over $1,000 for an iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max, the iPhone 8 is still a capable smartphone that will support Apple’s software updates for years to come. As an iPhone 8 owner myself, I didn’t feel any pressure to move on to the XS this year.
Apple is currently stocking unlocked gold, silver, and space gray 64GB iPhone 8 models, all priced at $499. While the iPhone 8 Plus has also been available refurbished in the past, it does not appear to be available at the moment. Apple slashed the prices of both the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus by $100 when it launched the iPhone XS, bringing the retail prices of the two phones to $599 and $699, respectively.
It’s a total mystery whether or not the refurbished iPhone 8 Plus will ever be back in stock online, but multiple models of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are still being sold, for $379 and $469, respectively.
