One of the ways Apple offers us to have one of its cheapest devices is its reconditioned store, and until recently it was the only way to have a discounted iPhone or iPad. Now the iPhone XR has arrived at this Apple reconditioned store at a price below 709 euros for which Apple officially sells it.
These iPhone XR are available in all three capacities and in black and white colors, at the moment we do not have other colors available. Without a doubt it is a great option to buy an iPhone in the Apple Store and save up to 150 euros compared to its official price. Here’s what these reconditioned iPhone XRs cost at the Apple store now:
- iPhone XR 64 GB: 589 euros (120 euros discount)
- iPhone XR 128 GB: 629 euros (130 euros discount)
- iPhone XR 256 GB: 729 euros (150 euros discount)
What is a Refurbished iPhone?
Refurbished iPhones are iPhones that have been returned to Apple for some reason, it may be that the user simply did not want it or that he had a small problem. Apple is responsible for reviewing them and arranging them to appear new and putting them for sale much cheaper. Apple perfectly details what the reconditioned iPhone includes on its website:
- All refurbished iPhones come with a new battery, new outer shell, one-year warranty, and free delivery and return.
- Comprehensive functional testing, original Apple replacement parts (if needed) and thorough cleaning.
- The original operating system or a newer version.
- All reconditioned devices are repackaged in a new box with all accessories and cables.
If you get now with any of these iPhones, it will arrive next week, however, they are offering that many usually take advantage of and the available units may run out, Apple never says how many are left, it simply removes the terminals from its store.
Is a Refurbished iPhone Worth It?
The good thing about refurbished Apple iPhones is that they are practically new and you can buy them in the official store with all Apple guarantees. However, they only offer a one-year warranty, instead of the two years that new devices have, that’s really their only downside.
Also, although it was a very interesting option before because there were no stores to get a cheap iPhone or iPad, now we have many options in the market that allow us to buy an iPhone XR for these same prices or even cheaper, and completely new Yes, they are not purchased from Apple, but they have a two-year warranty and during the first year we can go to an Apple Store to solve our problems.
