How to Get Apple Products Cheap

http://www.lockergnome.com/blade/2011/11/30/why-you-should-consider-a-refurbi...

People who don't care for Apple products will harp on the company's famously proprietary practices and comparatively high prices in relation to what they like — and that's fine. But the people who love Apple products accept these perceived drawbacks as necessary for the company to continue its high standards of quality control. That's why Ron Schenone (who, for the record, has a great deal of experience with Windows machines as well as those running iOS and OS X) has no qualms about recommending Apple-certified refurbished units as being as good as new — just cheaper. Here, he shares his experiences with refurbished Apple products; he's gone through the trouble so you can determine if "going refurb" is the right path for you.

I bought i preowned 3gs on ios 4 (£120), unlocked to any network (jailbroken)

updated to ios5, it bricked my phone because it had been unlocked

restored it through to completly remove the jailbreak

took it to the apple store and they replaced the phone with a brand new iphone (£3XX)

i beat the system

@LICKPIMP How enlightening, I'd never thought about it that way. I guess that settles that, then. Thanks for clearing that up.

I got my iPhone for $350 from a seller on Amazon! It was in flawless condition. I ended up dropping it and breaking the screen, and Apple replaced it for $150. At the end, I payed $500 for a BRAND NEW 32GB iPhone 4. Off contract they go for like $700 if I'm not mistaken!
