Where can i buy a refurbished iphone

Where can i buy a refurbished iphone ?  Does apple sell them?

No idea but these are the precautions you should take if you find one
When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.  Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase: 
Turn the device on and slide to unlock. If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased.
Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased. 
Begin the device setup process.
After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to icloud.com/find.
Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account. You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.

  • Where can I buy an unlocked iPhone 5 in the US?

    Actually, two weeks later would be my friend's birthday and I would like to give him an unlocked iphone 5 (because he is in China) as a gift.
    I tried to call the apple retail store, and the assistant said that I could order unlocked iphone 5 online. But I could not find it online.
    Now, everywhere is out of stock. Where can I buy the unlocked iphone 5?

    I have yet to see Apple selling them unlocked from their site, but maybe soon.
    Also, Verizon's version of the iPhone 5 already comes unlocked, depending on what carrier type they would (CDMA/GSM) that may be your best route to go through Verizon. I havent seen the

  • Where can I buy a NEW iPhone WITHOUT a service plan?

    I have an iTouch now, I'm sell it.
    I want to have external speakers for apps and alarms.
    I do not want iTouch 2nd generation.
    I do not currently need it as a phone, but would like to have it for when I am ready.
    Is it possible to purchase the latest iPhone without any phone plan? When I go through the steps to purchase an iPhone from apple.com it doesn't have a "no plan" option.
    Do other places online / B&M sell iPhones or only apple.com and apple stores? (I do not want a used or refurbished)
    Surely I can still get a hold of an NEW iPhone without a service plan... but where and for how much?

    You can't buy a new iPhone in the US without a plan. Even if you could buy one, it would not work (even as an iPod) until activated with a cell phone provider. You would have to buy a used iPhone that had been activated. Be sure to get a US model (or one for your country if you aren't in the US). Check the part numbers in the right column of
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
    to make sure it is the correct version for your country.
    An officially unlocked one from one of the countries that sell them would also be OK, but any repair would have to be done in its original country. It would have to have been activated in some country, also.

  • Can you buy a refurbished iPhone 5?

    The question is basically in the heading, I was wondering whether it is possible to buy a refurbished iPhone 5 yet?

    It should be noted that many, if not most of the refurbished iPhones offered by the carriers were NOT refurbished by Apple, but by the carriers or a third party. They do not carry a warranty with Apple and Apple will not service them.
    Read the fine print carefully on any you do find.

  • Where can I buy an unlocked iphone 3gs in Canada?

    I will go to the other countries in future for business so i wonder if I can buy an unlocked iphone which can be used by inserting SIM card directly since locked iphone can't be used in the other countries? Or can I get offical tech unlocking for my iphone so that it can work in the other countries? Thanks for reply.

    Officially unlocked iPhones are not sold in Canada. You could buy one in a country where they are sold unlocked, then use it in Canada with a Fido or Rogers SIM. The countries that sell them unlocked are listed here:
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
    It may not be easy to buy, though, as they may require a local address, or payment with a debit or credit card issued in their country. Also, the warrantee is valid only in the country of sale. Even if you do get an unlocked iPhone, it may be difficult to get a local SIM in some countries (such as Japan or Korea). Things are easier if you know a resident of the country who is willing to buy the phone or SIM for you.
    You can use a locked Canadian iPhone in other countries but they charge high roaming fees for voice, and exorbitant roaming fees for data. Data roaming can be disabled in "Settings" > "General" > "Network".
    Fido and Rogers have some international plans that will reduce roaming fees a bit. Check with them before you leave.

  • Where can i buy a refurbed iphone?

    I found this with a search for "refurbished iPhone" at AT&T's website.

  • Where can I buy an unlocked iPhone 6 plus?

    I want to buy iPhone 6 plus (factory unlocked) since I am an international student and might return to the UAE by 2016. I should be able to use my phone in the UAE as well with my local SIM card.
    My options are:
    T-mobile version on Apple.com (almost everyone on all the Apple forums has confirmed that it is unlocked). However, I stumbled upon the following article and got confused:
    http://m.imore.com/iphone-6s-lte-support-isnt-quite-good-enough-t-mobile
    Since I'm not a techie, I wanted to know does this mean there is some defect in the device itself or it is carrier related? If it's carrier related, then I will make the purchase right now because I can use another SIM card in the US. However, if there are some device related issues, then I will not purchase the phone.
    My second option is paying the full price upfront and getting the phone from Verizon:
    http://www.verizonwireless.com/vzw/smartphones/iphone-6-plus/
    One of the Verizon representatives confirmed that the phone will be locked for a year to Verizon (ALLSET plan is the one I want to go ahead with and they said I can) and then I can request for it to be unlocked. I will definitely be here in the US for at least another year. So even if I return to Dubai after that, the device should be unlocked so that I can use it there with my local SIM card. I have confirmed with them that it is a GSM device. However, when I spoke to another representative, he told me that it is factory unlocked and I got confused because two different representatives from the same company are giving me two different answers.
    I can wait for iPhone to release the unlocked version of the phone but their representatives are not too optimistic about the date so I am very confused at this point and would appreciate any help.

    Only T-Mobile sells them. But you cannot unlock it until you have used the T-Mobile service for at least 40 days. The phone may be off-contract, but it is not unlocked. Don't expect one from Apple until next year sometime, maybe.

  • HT204266 Where can I buy a refurbished Mac?

  • Where can I buy an unlocked iphone 5 online?

    I want to ship it to a friend in the US and she is going to bring it to me in Bermuda.

    You can only purchase an unlocked GSM iPhone online in the US from the online Apple Store. You will need a US-issued credit card; the US Apple Store will not accept non-US credit cards. The GSM portion of the Verizon-model iPhone is unlocked and so could be used with a Bermudan carrier, but I don't know Verizon's sales terms.

  • Where can I buy an unlocked iPhone ?

    Gents,
    Does Apple really have an option for selling an unlocked version of iPhone 3G officially ?. I heard that a version of unlocked iPhone is available in some countries. If it is true, I would appreciated it if you provide me with the list of countries where this version of unlocked iPhone is available.
    Best regards,

    I do not recommend this. I believe it voids any contract of help you could receive from apple. If the phone breaks, you are sol.

    I bought an Iphone 4S 16Gb from softbank - Japan. I would like to buy an active code for my Iphone, how can I do and where can I buy?

    That iPhone is useable only on the softbank network. Softbank does not
    unlock iPhones for use on other networks. Sell that iPhone to someone who
    can use it on Softbank and use the money to buy an iPhone that will work
    with your wireless provider.

  • Where can i buy iphone 4s

    Where can i buy an used or refurbished iphone 4s for around 250-300$ unlcoked. Please tell me any reliable website to buy it.
    Thank you.

    The only reliable place to purchase an iPhone is from Apple or an authorized iPhone reseller or from someone you know personally and can trust. From anywhere else you will, as Lawrence indicated, be taking a major risk of getting a hacked and/or stolen iPhone.

  • Where can I buy a nano sim for the new iPhone 5

    Hi all,
    I have just ordered a new iPhone 5 from the apple website and it comes as an unlocked phone. Therefore I need to buy a new 'nano sim' to fit the new phone.
    Does anyone know where and how I go about doing this?
    I've seen that vodaphone have apparently got 500,000 of these new Nano sims in stock, but are they only for people who have bought the phone through them?
    Do you know any other networks or providers that are selling the nano sim, even if you haven't purchased the phone from them?
    Any advice or tips would be much appreiciated.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    Which is why in the UK it is not really worth purchasing an iPhone directly from Apple - it's a no brainer.  You should always purchase through the phone companies themselves and you'll get a much better deal always.
    I have been with 02 on a contract since I had my first iPhone and have always upgraded for less than half the cost of the iPhone directly from Apple.
    I really don't understand why someone would want to spend at least £525 to £600 on a phone from Apple when you could get it for less than half the cost with the UK phone companies, unless of course money is no object!
    Where do you get your information from?
