Apple Begins Selling Refurbished iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Models in United States, Starting at $499

And I really wonder who did the maths to figure out that from $649 to $499 is 10% difference.

Apple has been selling the iPhone 7 for $549 since September.

Should Apple cut the price of new 7s and 7+s to this price point, I may just get a 7, 1) if I do not have the battery replaced on my 7+, and 2) there is no update to the SE.

... sweet. Celebrating selling 102 million less than Samsung.

Guess Apple can find glory in loosing once again !

Great for Samsung to corner a market which Apple invented

Just got my refurbished Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus yesterday. In a word, it's "spectacular." Looks brand new, and actually, most of it is. New case, new battery, all packed in a very cool white box. I always buy my Apple products from their refurb store, and I couldn't be happier with my new iPhone 7 Plus. Hope to get many years out of it. Don't be swayed by all the naysayers saying Apple refurbs are just a used/returned product thrown in a box and resold. So not true. Apple restores their refurbs to "like-new" condition and then tacks on a fresh, one-year warranty and sells them for less than brand new. It's the only way to buy anything from Apple IMO.

Apple needs to update the SE in order to retain customers who, when that phone was launched, had been on the verge of going back to dumb phones. I love my SE and will use it as my smartphone until Apple no longer supports it, if the line is not updated. But at that point... well, I'm bookmarking pieces now like this one, and I know I'm not alone:
