Which is a good thing if you're a buyer; they'll be more competition and you can either get a safer bet in an Apple refurb, or a cheaper option on eBay and the like.

This is good news, however not seeing them in Canadian stores:

I would love to buy the SE, only iPhone I'd be interested in buying.
Hope Apple continues to update the SE despite what the rumors say.

Speaking only for myself: If I want a refurbished iPhone, I'll wait until my AC+ makes that a necessity.
Not trying to be obnoxious but when my wife looked to upgrading to a 7+ from a 6s+ 128GB they only wanted to give her 300.00. The profit they make off everything is nothing short of pure greed.
Here's the secret: the refurbished store is Apple's last and only bastion against Android.
It didn't need to be this way. If Steve Jobs had not died, Apple would have exploded the iPhone into a 60%+ marketshare like the iPod.
I look forward to the day when Cook is deposed and someone who really loves Apple takes the reins. Goodness, there are so many of us here on MacRumors; are there any in Cupertino, I cry?

May I, good gentleman, draw your attention to your own flawed logic?
It is possible that this is not a binary situation.
Good day, Sir.

Immediately you thought as well. Refurb iPhones come out year after the new upgrade program? Totally not a coincidence.
Granted, this makes sense since before trade ins were always done through the carrier, so it's not like Apple had my real refurb stock to begin with. Now, with the trade in program, people are trading in functional iPhones directly to Applez
Apple refurbished always come in new boxes with new accessories.
The product gets completely scrubbed and the serial number is changed.
The products come with the same warranty as new and Applecare can be added.
When you go in the store with an issue, it's treated as a new product.
I have bought multiple products from the refurb store.
Never had an issue with service if I needed it.
Idk why people don't understand that Apple's refurbs are a GREAT deal and super reliable.
The SE is still relatively new. Likely for those models to come soon for replacements. The 6s just passed its one year anniversary.
Indeed they do. Because if you spend few thousands on a notebook you would desperately be looking to save few $ on the refurb section.
That was one of the reasons I kept my 6s Plus, was because of the 3.5 Jack. Mainly to use it for music in the car while charging.
Last I checked I was looking at over £200 for my setup.....now double that for the office....

Yeah I went back to my 6S . The headphone was not a deal breaker it was when I went out for a trip and I had my 7 and my patner my old 6S , we saw a big difference in reception using exactly the same carrier and plan. So disappointed they choose to save a few bucks on the intel .
I say finally. I always buy Apple refurbished iPods and Macbooks once I knew about the existence of the refurbished store. These things are tools, and having them in simple white box don't bother me, considering everything else is pretty much the same as the new ones, including warranty. The problem with Macs is that if you are looking for a specific configuration, you might not have much luck.
I hope Apple push this refurbished iPhones in other markets. It's one way to sell "cheaper" iPhones, I say.
