Refurbished iPhone

cal60

All my recent phones have been Android (Galaxy, Sony, Moto, Sony). Thinking about going over to the dark side and going iPhone . New iPhone would be way too expensive so I'm thinking refurbished. Is a refurbished 6s worth €150-€200 ?

Grade A iPhone 6 on pigsback for €100 last week.
I got one for my father in law.

So I think €200 for a 6s may be a bit too much.

Personally I’d try aim for a 7 at least for iOS support etc
In my case he just wanted a bigger screen from the iPhone 4 without much outlay.

€200 for a 6s being a bit much would depend on if its 16GB or 32GB - the 6 only came in 16GB. In saying that I wouldn't pay €200 fro either.

If you go for the 7 be aware of the Audio IC issue which is common. Just get something that covers at least 6 -12 months warranty.

Have a look on www,pricepy.ie to get some indication on what the going rate is - should be about €249 - €299 for a 7.

What's the audio IC issue?

The iPhone 7 touch ID is much improved over the 6S.
Big usability difference.

Had one for over 2 years super phone.

Wow never even heard of that one. Had an iPhone 7 for two years and had zero issues with it.

it's more common in badly refurbished phones as it's done cheap (and doesn't last) to get them out the door from what I've read. if the OP is going for the 7 just get it from somewhere with good reviews and 12 months warranty and should be well covered then.

can anyone recommend a decent place to get a refurbished iPhone 7 in Dublin City?
