Apple starts selling refurbished iPhone XR units in the US

29 May 2020
Does that even make sense when you can get a new iPhone SE (2020) for $400? The older phone still has a couple of advantages.

    you know from where these refurbs coming.
    remember you went to genius bar to complain for like charging issue or screen dimming issue. and technician told you it requires motherboard change and screen replacement and you opted for exchanging your mobile to new.
    the issues are normal like changing cable or capacitor, thats it.
    its modern day corporate scam.

            Apple is asking too much for it. You can get better phones with that price. Unless you worship iOS and hate android.

              Still way overpriced, but they can probably get away with it...

                        Well apple is funny again.
                        here in Slovakia brand new original XR 64GB can be bought from 540 euros, 581 euros for 128GB model and 256Gb cost from 649euros.
                        In other words no difference between refurbrished and brand new original.
                        Having phone made from used parts which looks like new for a same price as a brand new device means apple is clumsy or stupid to not understand that this refurbrished phones are completely overpriced.


                        By the way Apple and maybe Samsung are only companies which sels refubrised made from used parts phones.
                        If they generate less E waste it would be a lot better than making so called new devices made of used and exhausted materials and selling them for exactly same rpice as a brand new,

                        If xiaomi for example would sells refurbrished devices for half the price of original costs the other competitors can litterary close its bussiness becuse they will no longoer compete against much cheaper rival.

                          You'd have to be a complete idiot to go for this deal. There's absolutely no reason for this to exist. Better battery is not enough of an excuse... especially as I bet my bottom dollar Apple don't replace the batteries so battery life will be pretty much identical on both models.

                            If you don't care about size then this is a perfect alt to the SE 2020, personally I would go for it rather the SE 2020, mainly due to the more recent looking design and much larger battery.

                              No thank you... Android. By far more advanced... This is 2020... 60hz displays for another 5 years... Why don't they just by a corded phone from the 1980's?
