Most warranties are pretty bad, and exchanging it for $100 would likely be a pretty good deal. Apple however, has a history of standing behind their products and I wouldn’t take this myself. If it’s the only way to afford an iPhone than discovering it just stopped working would be devastating.
 
Why mention MacRumors is a Woot affiliate when you don't post a link?

Anyway, I'm waiting for a better offer, than used or refurbished.
 
Geez....who would want to take a chance on these? And to top it off, it is an "Amazon company"

"Woot says that these devices represent "buyer's remorse" returns and troubled iPhones that have been returned to fully function condition."

Ha...."buyers remorse" could mean anything and what the heck are "troubled" iPhones? iPhones with depression and anxiety disorder because they would rather be an Android phone?
 
I'll wait for a new 11 pro max in a few years when it's the base model for $399.
 
I’d rather buy refurbished from the Apple store or a slightly used one from swappa.

Definitely wouldn’t buy refurbished from a company I never heard of.

Macrumors should seriously consider their partnership with Woot. It really degrades what I consider a great website. The flat out lying in Woots description is really irritating. These are used and in most cases heavily worn phones. They show no actual pictures of the condition.
 
Bought a iPhone refurbished once and never again. I rather take a use phone than a refurbished iPhone. When its refurbished its been opened and repaired. You lose the IP water resistance rating. 3 second drop in the pool and the screen glitched then it went dead.

I fully agree. I checked numerous sites where customers review their experience with Woot. Quite a sad state of affairs.
I know Apple has very low standards when choosing "partners"...Goldman Sachs for the credit card.....but I hoped Macrumors was better.

I hate when retailers like Woot sell goods that are obviously used with wear and tear, but use the word “refurbished”.

if you buy something “refurbished” directly from Apple, it’s going to look new and include the full original warranty. Don’t let Apple’s high standards let you get taken advantage of by sellers like Woot.

There will be numerous deals coming in the foreseeable future, when "business" tries to regain its foothold with the unemployed consumer. Save your money and wait......
 
I had a pretty shady experience with Woot! last year. Bought an Olympus lens listed as refurbished but when it arrived the box was clearly labeled as “used”.

I wrote to them and they seemed nonchalant about it but did offer a partial refund (or a return if I wanted). Outcome was ok but it all felt a little flaky.

seems that these woot promotions are always "hurry, one day only"
That is specifically their deal. Everything is one day.

That's your own fault really, since did you really think Woot has the capability to actually refurbish a camera lens, or anything else of that matter?

They buy their crap from wholesale "repackagers of used stuff", sell them and hopefully nobody complains.

Only truly refurbished items I would consider is ones refurbished & sold by the manufacturer itself - As I have with Apple products on many occasions, and never got burned.
 
I love buying my products brand new and opening them up for the first time. In the future though when I do replace my MacBook Pro, I am likely to go through the Apple Refurb store and save some cash.

...and people do complain a lot, yet Macrumors continues to proudly partner with Woot.
