- Apple has added the alignment of the iPhone 15 to its official pages of restored stores in the United States and the United Kingdom
- Customers can now buy restored iPhones certified by Apple for substantial discounts
- The discounts range from $ 110 / £ 110 for the iPhone 15 to $ 230 base for the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 1 TB of storage
Apple has updated its certified restored store in both in the United States and in the United Kingdom, adding the entire iPhone 15 line to these in -line stores.
The iPhone 15, the iPhone 15 Plus, the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max will now be available in the condition restored with Apple certification through the online store in both countries, subject to availability.
As it is standard for Restored Certified Apple products, customers can expect some reasonably impressive savings in the Iphone 15 restored line.
The cheapest model in alignment, the iPhone 15 with 128 GB of storage, is reviewed at $ 619 / £ 589, a saving of $ 110 / £ 110 of the launch price of $ 829 / £ 799 (keep in mind that restored iPhones are unlocked, which adds a small premium to the initial price of the United States).
At the upper end, the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 1 TB of storage reaches $ 1,269, that is a solid $ 230 discount on the new price.
There are currently no 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max models available in the Restored Store certified by the United Kingdom, but looking at the other models, we would expect a reflected discount of £ 230, resulting in a price of £ 1,269.
So is that a good business? Or is it better to look elsewhere? That depends on some key factors.
In the first place, when it comes to Apple Remurbed Certified, Price is not the complete story.
As we recently highlighted as part of the Techradar Sustainability Week, the Iphones restored with Apple certification are equipped with a new battery and a new external housing, as well as any necessary internal component, which are always Apple Officers or other first -part pieces.
Restored phones are packaged in new boxes with new cables and accessories, and once bought they are covered by a one -year warranty with free delivery and returns. This is a fairly robust process that adds a lot of value, especially compared to the purchase of second hand through a market like eBay.
Of course, Apple will still sell you a new iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus if you want one, but would suggest saving your money and buy in the Restolated Store certified Apple, unless the latter lacks its color or desired storage option.
As for third -party retailers, history is a bit more complex. In the United Kingdom, Amazon offers the iPhone 15 for £ 598, while the US, the only lists I could find were for renewed phones: Amazon Renoved is generally considered a lower quality standard than the Apple certified restaurant.
Best Buy has the new iPhone for $ 579.99 in the USA. And back in the United Kingdom, John Lewis offers the iPhone 15 from £ 599, although with a two -year guarantee of the retailer, as well as Apple’s one -year warranty.
With other models, retailers are approaching the renewed price certified: John Lewis has the iphone 15 pro max with 1 TB of storage for £ 1,299 in the United Kingdom, but I could not find any equivalent in the USA. UU., Where most of the options are blocked.
All this means that there are many options available, and although the Restolated Store of Apple offers great value with a solid first part, it is important to consider which one is suitable for you.
However, with the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max officially discontinued and the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 most likely continue later this year, this could be an appropriate time to collect one of the best iPhones in recent memory.
