The iPhone 8 is one of this Christmas’s top selling refurbished iPhones, it’s the last model to contain the Touch ID feature and also packs some impressive specifications.
A 12MP Wide Angle Rear Camera and 4k video recording are some of its most notable features. Combined with a 4.7” retina display and you can begin to see why its is such a popular choice at around the £300 “mid-range” price point. Up to 8 hours battery life as well as splash and dust resistance really make the iPhone 8 stand out from the crowd.
The refurbished iPhone 8 is offered in “A” and “B” cosmetic grading, both options are fully functional handsets with a battery life of 80% or greater. At The iOutlet we even offer the option to upgrade to a brand new 100% capacity battery for a reasonable supplement.
iPhone 8 Refurbished Grades
When comparing the two choices of grade the main differences will be found in the minor markings present on the handset, details as follows:
A Grade – Excellent
Excellent condition used mobile with little or minor signs of wear. Item has been fully tested in full working order.
B Grade – Good
Good condition used mobile, that will show moderate signs of wear across the device. Item has been fully tested and in full working order.
The iPhone 8 is available in both 64GB and 256GB options, for most people 64GB is ample, however as the refurbished smart phone revolution continues people naturally collect more data making the 256GB option a necessity for some users.
In terms of price the difference is on average £50-60 between each model. Considering the 256GB has four times more storage than the 64GB we believe this actually represents great value for money in terms of an upgrade.
The rise in popularity of SIM only contracts has enhanced the popularity of refurbished iPhone’s like the iPhone 8.
Refurbished iPhone 8 Spotlight Comparison
If you purchased the iPhone 8 64GB A grade at £289.99 and the 12 month Advanced plan SIM only plan from network provider Three (complete with 12GB of data unlimited minutes and texts for £16 per month), this would equate to a total cost of £481.99.
Compare this to the cheapest comparable deal with Tesco Mobile (not unlimited minutes or texts and only 10GB of data) the total cost over 12 months is £689.64.
This would equate to a saving of £207.65 by choosing to buy refurbished. Not only would you save a small fortune but you would also get peace of mind with a 12 month warranty offered with all refurbished phones from The iOutlet.
The above example is a considerably smaller saving than those that can be made on the X series iPhones and something we will be covering in the near future.
