Looking to save on a new iPhone? What if you could get one for less than what the Apple Store would charge you - or braving the front lines on Black Friday for a discount - but still get it directly from Apple?
Apple has added smartphones to its list of refurbished goods for sale, making it the first time users could get a like-new iPhone for less, direct from the company itself.
In the past, Apple has hosted other refurbished goods from its website - primarily MacBooks and iPads - but now a 16GB iPhone 6S and 64GB 6S Plus can be yours for $100 and $110 off the factory-fresh price, respectively.
Despite being refurbished (meaning they were returned or traded-in by users and then tested and distributed for resale by the manufacturer or vendor) Apple's out-of-box phones come with a few assurances.
First off, Apple's refurbished phones have brand-new batteries and casing, meaning it won't look used or die out after an hour's use.
Additionally, Apple's refurbished phones are unlocked, SIM-free, and include a 1-year warranty as a bonus. That warranty alone can take the sting out of getting a non-factory sealed phone, should something go wrong.
Refurbished iPhones from Apple are currently available in the US only, though UK and Australian buyers can still snag secondhand iPods, Macs, and even iPads while supplies last.
On that note, it appears that Apple's supply of trade-in iPhone 6S' may be from the company's recently announced iPhone Upgrade Program, as 9to5Mac points out. If so, that means stock could dry up fast - so get on that quick!
