Apple today began offering refurbished versions of the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, which is the first time that the 2019 iPhones will be available directly from Apple at a discounted price.
Savings on the iPhone 11 models range from $ 100 to $ 170, and for the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, the revamped store is the only way to get one of these devices from Apple, as it has since been discontinued.
Apple has limited inventory available as the contents of the refurbished store vary based on what people sent to repair. There is a single refurbished iPhone 11 model with 128 GB storage cost at $ 549, which saves $ 100.
There are several 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max variants with 64 to 256 GB of storage. An entry-level 11 Pro Max with 64 GB of storage is available for $ 849, which according to Apple is a $ 150 discount.
Color availability is limited with Apple offering the iPhone 11 in black, and the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max only in space gray and midnight green, but color options and available capabilities will change over time.
Refurbished iPhone 11hone models are SIM-free, carrier-unlocked and can be used with any supported service provider.
All of the refurbished Apple iPhones include the same one-year warranty that comes with a brand new iPhone, as well as all the manuals and accessories. Every refurbished Apple device undergoes a rigorous testing, repair, repackaging and cleaning process, with Apple providing new exterior shells and batteries.
Apart from the white box in which a refurbished device is sent, it is virtually impossible to distinguish the difference between a refurbished iPhone and a new model. Standard one-year warranties can be extended with an AppleCare + purchase, and there is also a standard 14-day return policy.
