Apple Restocks Refurbished iPhone 8 as Lowest-Priced iPhone It Sells

[44267547]

To Apple: “… why, oh my! why?” Are you trying to scam unsuspecting customers?

Could you, in detail, explain when consumers have a choice of what they decide to purchase based off research and available resources, how Apple could possibly scam somebody for a voluntary purchase?

Definitely better to go for iPhone SE at $399

Yes I forgot about 3D touch on the 8/8+ also, I use(d) that all the time when hard pressing on the left side of the screen to access the multi tasker to switch between apps. In conjunction with 'rest finger' on home button (Touch ID) meant I literally never fully pressed down on home button to save it from wearing out over time. Fast forward to now, and my 8+ is in almost perfect condition!

Uhh, it’s not a physical button, lol

I know but it can still wear out through constant use, the haptic click behind the button, if you know what I mean. I did the same thing with my 6s+ which was an actual physical button.

Those who buy this do so because its all that they can afford. So whatever limitation the hardware has is inconsequential

That’s a bit narrow minded. Most buy such phones because they choose to not spend more on a phone. Believe me I see people with hardly a pot to piss in with the latest phone technology. I for example choose to use a 7+ I bought new 2.5 years ago because it makes calls, surfs the web, gets in these forums, receives email and takes pics just like the 13’s do. When it stops receiving updates I will buy another 300-400 dollar phone. Not because I cannot afford it but I choose to not spend near 1k for little benefit

I will amend.

The minority of buyers are multi millionaires.

Most are just what they can afford.
