No, we aren’t that lucky yet, but Apple has started selling refurbished iPhones. To be completly honest I’m not sure how they can have enough returned iPhones that their able to start mass selling refurb models. I think CNET is on to something when they asked could this just be a clever marketing ploy? I have to wonder if this could just be a new marketing technique from Apple or were there that many people who returned their phone. However this is happening both, refurb models will be receiving a $100 price cut. Making pricing $399(21% off) for the 4GB and $499 (17% off) for the 8GB model.
Mike don’t forget to point out that apple also sells refurbished ipods, macs and apple tvs. Typical savings are around $50 for the iPod/appleTV and more for the macs.
