“check out their refurbished store”
I am hoping for a deal, but I draw the line at a used cell phone. I don’t even like to hold someone I know’s phone, much less one from lord knows who. The iPhone 8 is a contender, thanks.
Some of them aren’t used at all. . . Just extras from quantity orders to large companies, or retail returns from people who may not even have taken them out of the boxes. Those would be those that are newer models and obvious. All of them are taken back to Apple, stripped to components, cleaned, given new batteries, reassembled, new chargers, new accessories such as earbuds, etc. and reboxed. It’s not at all like buying a “used” iPhone. They do the same with computers. They come looking like new with a new warranty.
