Consumers looking for a deal on an iPhone may be able to knock $100 off the price of the smartphone by buying from an unexpected discount source: Apple Inc.
On Monday, the company began making refurbished iPhones available at its online store for $399 for the 4-gigabyte model, which sells for $499 at full retail, and $499 for the 8-gigabyte model, which retails for $599. Such an offer is a standard Apple practice; the site already offers discounts on most Apple products, which come with a one-year warranty.
On Tuesday evening, the company declined to comment on the decision to make used phones available at a discount. Analysts have been speculating widely, however, on what Apple might say about the rate of sales and the number of phones sold.
