The time has arrived. All of us cheapskates who’ve been holding out for cheaper iPhones have been thrown a frickin’ bone. At Apple’s online store, we can now purchase factory refurbished iPhones for a full $100 below retail price. Which makes it just an arm and a bit of a leg instead of the whole limb.
I am surprised to see the refurb discount be so deep — this suggests that Apple has had to replace a lot of iPhones here in the early going. Who’s sent theirs back? Go ahead, you can tell us. No need to be shy.
