Apple's US online store sells the iPhone 6s for $449 that comes along with a 16GB software and the iPhone 6s Plus is currently available for $529. The models also come with varying storage capacities and different colors. A new battery and unit casing are also included.
After selling refurbished laptops, Apple is now focusing on its flagship smartphone, which is packaged with a 1-year warranty. But customers shouldn't expect a heavy discount since the 64GB iPhone 6s Plus is offered at $110 in savings compared to a brand new unit and the 6s Plus with 16GB is offered around $80 in discount.
Apple has also released unit color options that include rose gold, silver, and space gray. The company executes a stringent testing for all the refurbished products to make sure their warranty is certified before selling them on the US online store.
As mentioned on their website, availability of Apple units to the customer is guaranteed once the full payment is secured. But supplies are limited so transactions are being done on a first come, first serve basis.
On another update, the prices of dongles that are being used for the MacBook Pro have dropped due to numerous customer complaints. Apple's USB-C cables and adapters are now priced at $6 to $20.
Apple is known for their highly strict attention to detail. That is why every refurbished iPod, Mac, Apple TV, and iPhone undergoes a refined refurbishment process to make all the items in line with the company's high standards. Customers also have the AppleCare option if they want to extend their warranty coverage.
The tech company also offers an Apple Recycling Program that will give people an environment-friendly way of discarding their old gadgets. The program will take the customers' electronics and see if it still has some re-use capability. Consumers with gadgets that have monetary value will be given an Apple Gift Card that can be used for purchasing at any Apple Store.
