Refurbished iPhones, USD 100 Cheaper

- It's still second hand

By: Elena Balan, Communications News Editor

The iPhone has been considered by many people to be way too expensive or simply not worth the price tag that Apple has put on it. Should this be true or not, there is also an alternative for the handset users that are not willing to pay the full price for a new iPhone.

The original versions of
Apple's phone came for USD 500 in the case of the 4 GB version and USD 600 for the 8 GB one. Choosing to buy a refurbished iPhone could take off up to USD 100, dropping the prices at USD 400 and USD 500. That does not make the phone cheap either, but manages to drop the price to a more accessible level, where some more people could qualify for purchasing such a device.

The phones have the same features as those found in stores. The only difference is that these devices have experienced problems and brought back to Apple for replacing or major maintenance issues. Some of the problems with the phone are considerably minor and make little difference between such a product and one bought off the shelf.

Some might have been put up for testing and reviewing, while others may have only had the box opened and banned from sale. Still, others might have experienced major software problems, or scratches. In this case, it all sounds like a gamble to buy such devices, as it usually turns out to be the case with second hand products.

Apple has reconditioned the phones and fixed all issues that might have hindered its full functionality. As to prove their trust in the phones' quality, the company will also offer full one year warranty, which is also given for the brand new device. Shipping is free and the cost is down USD 100. There's a high chance that many people will take advantage of this special offer.
