Apple Restocks Refurbished iPhone 8 as Lowest-Priced iPhone It Sells

For the first time in a while, Apple has started selling a refurbished iPhone 8 model for $359 through its online store in the United States.

iPhone 8 Gray Feature
For the time being, this is now the cheapest iPhone model that can be purchased directly from Apple, but the device is nearly four and a half years old and we strongly recommend considering the second-generation iPhone SE in this price range. Released in April 2020, the iPhone SE is available with 64GB of storage for $399 or 128GB for $449.

An even better option may be to wait for the third-generation iPhone SE, which is expected to launch around March or April with an A15 chip and 5G.

There are many downsides to the iPhone 8, including that the device will likely stop receiving iOS updates at least a few years before the second-generation iPhone SE due to its age. The second-generation iPhone SE also has a newer A13 chip, compared to the A11 chip in the iPhone 8, and has several features not available on the iPhone 8, including Portrait Mode photos, QuickTake video, Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit-class LTE, and eSIM/Dual SIM.

The refurbished iPhone 8 is available in space gray and is an unlocked device. All refurbished iPhones come with a new battery, a new outer shell, and a new white box. Included with the iPhone 8 is EarPods with a Lightning connector, a Lightning to USB-A cable, and a 5W power adapter. All refurbished iPhones are also covered by the same one-year warranty as a new iPhone, and AppleCare+ can be purchased for the device.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the iPhone 8 has ever been offered in 128GB. Only 64 and 256.
nah there was a 128gb version released later

Correct! Never been offered in 128GB. Only the refurbished models. Can’t believe this was almost 5 years ago.

The 128 GB iPhone 8 was added to the line-up (replacing the 256) with the introduction of the iPhone 11.

$349 for a refurbished iPhone 8 Plus is a super bargain- considering that you’re buying the best iPhone they make.
The iPhone 8 Plus isn't being sold, only the regular 8. SE is the better value.

I think this is a pretty bad deal. Vast majority of people would be much better off going for the SE.
