In the market for a refurb IPhone

[choie]

Hi everybody,

I lost my Iphone 6S and due to financial constraints am looking into purchasing a refurbished Iphone 7 plus to replace it. Does anybody have any suggestions or recommendations as to which refurb site is trustworthy?

Thanks so much in advance!

1. I've bought refurbished items directly from Apple.

You get a substantial discount and the warranty is the same as if it were new.

2. I would avoid the 7 and look at a refurbished 8 instead

Meanwhile I recommend the following place to get it - have bought two off them, one for myself and one for my daughter:

8. It has to do with the Battery

I will also ask my daughter who did a bunch of research on it and the conclusion was best to go to the 8. I think its like a lot of things where when they have the first generation of some things, that the kinks haven't been worked out. The 8 worked a lot of the problems out that they ran into with the 7. I think they rolled the 7 out too fast and the reality is the 6s was a good phone and the 7 wasn't all that great and people who got it, ended up missing their 6s.

That website I suggested to buy a refurbished iPhone is really great and they have good service and reliable.

3. I've purchased refurb uphones (usually simply open box, unused) directly from At&T

may not be the cheapest site, but they will stand behind it.

7. gazelle.com

will need to break down soon myself, and dreading it.
i will start my search right there, tho.
have bought presents for the grands, and they were great.

good deals on "scratch and dent".
