Remember working at Target mobile I would sell a lot of the older and less expensive iPhones to guests that did not have the funds for the latest iPhone model.

Woot does not “refurbish” phones.

We can all pray to the great SOC in the sky that one day soon there will be an upgraded replacement for the best iPhone ever made: The iPhone 8 Plus

I had the 8 Plus 256GB for 2 years, and I agree it was the best ever made - however I've been on the 11 for 4 months and it definitely was not a step down!

It's unfortunate how (deceptively) overused the word "refurbished" is.

And the iPhone 8 is COVID-ready too with Touch ID, something none of the newer iPhones can do.
Try unlocking them with your mask on. Good luck. LOL

My iPhone 8 Plus was significantly faster than my iPhone 7 Plus because of the bionic chip. Almost feels as fast as my 11. I know it boots faster than my 11 and both have 256gb storage.

Why are we even talking about the iPhone 8? It goes to 11.

You can pick up one from Bestbuy for the same price. Not sure what makes this any special. And not that I'm a big fan of BB, but I'd rather them than Woot...

Agreed.
"Refurbished" has an arbitrary meaning.
Refurbished to Apple is a like new device that you can't tell from new. Same warranty as new and treated as new.
Refurbished to everyone else is as simple as a wipe down with a disinfectant wipe and powering on and up to what Apple does.
YMMV

I love Woot, got a lot of good stuff on there. But I ordered a iPhone SE a few months ago, it was the worst thing I've ever receive from them, it looked like it had put in a dryer full of rocks. This was not refurbished, it maybe had a new screen at best. The sides and back of the phone was so bad that it could cut fingers. I recommend strongly not buying refurbished iPhones from them.

Just got the last open box new iPhone SE 2nd gen 128GB from a top seller on eBay for $370. Could't be happier

You’d have to be wearing a mask for this to be a problem. No luck involved. LOL

Use passcode! Touch .I.D has never work for me since my fingerprints are to faint for iPhone software to image and then compare to unlock. It works about every 1 time out of 20 tries. I shown it to Apple Genius and an Apple Engineer. They told me to use the passcode!

This sounds like the famous "Low Talker" episode on Seinfeld. Speak up! Press harder! 😁

Easy! I just type in my password. Works quick too.

The newer iPhone SE 2, is essentially an iPhone 8 with newer parts, so you mean "almost none of the newer iPhones can do".
