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.

    It’s possible that some refurbished iPhones may contain a super secret mystery surprise hidden deep inside. Who knew? http://www.iphonesavior.com/20

    I am still holding out. For that kind of investment in a cell phone, I would just pay the additional $100.00 for a shiny new one.

    Still not cheap enough, but it’s a start!

  4. Fernando says:

    I think you are missing an important point: I’ve seen Apple offer such big discounts on refurbs only when a new version of the product came out or is about to.

    So, big news soon?
