If you in the market for a slightly older iPhone that has been certified and covered by warranty? Do you want to save some cash? If so, Apple is now selling refurbished Apple’s online store is now selling refurbished iPhone 7 and 7 Plus phones. According to splashgear, the refurbished devices are tested and certified by Apple, with a brand new battery and outer shell.
Like newly purchased iPhones, the refurbished iPhone 7 and 7 Plus phones come with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase, which can be extended up to two years with AppleCare+ (which costs an extra $129 for the iPhone 7 or $149 for the iPhone 7 Plus).
For a refurbished iPhone 7, you’ll pay $499 for a 32GB model, $589 for 128GB, and $679 for a 256GB phone, which works out to $50-$70 off the price of a new iPhone 7. iPhone 7 Plus models are available for $599 for a 32GB model or $689 for 128GB of storage, which works out to $70-$80 off full price for a new model.
The company started selling refurbished phones again with the iPhone 6s in November of 2016.
The February start time for the iPhone 7 makes Apple comparatively late to the party this year, with the company only offering the refurbished phones several months after the iPhone 8 launch, instead of the relatively short time it took the company to sell refurbished iPhone 6s phones after the launch of the iPhone 7 in 2016.
