THERE’S a way to snap up iPhones for very cheap on Amazon.
All you need to do is type a keyword after “iPhone” when searching on the store.

Simply add “renewed” and you’ll be presented with a long list of refurbished iPhones.
These Apple handsets are generally in “excellent” condition and come with their own renewed guarantee.
So although they will have been used previously,
You can snap up iPhones for very cheap – in several cases, below £170.
And while newer models will cost more, there are still great bargains to be found at higher prices.
It’s possible to get a renewed iPhone 7 for around £145, but The Sun doesn’t recommend that because it won’t be able to upgrade to iOS 16 – and will sadly miss out on security updates as a result.
But the iPhone 8 – which CAN get the new iOS – is available for £164.99 (in Space Grey) and £168.96 (in Silver).

Both models are refurbished, but that’s usually not a bad thing – and can save you loads of cash.
Amazon says it’s “fully functional and in excellent condition”.
That means it shows no sign of cosmetic damage visible from 30cm.
And it has a battery that is at or greater than 80% capacity compared to when it was new.
“This pre-owned product has been professionally inspected, tested and cleaned by Amazon qualified vendors,”
explains.
The accessories might not be original, but you’ll get ones that are “compatible and fully functional”.
However you might not get the original box.
You’ll also get a SIM removal tool, a charger and a charging cable.
Amazon offers full replacement or refund within a year of receiving the iPhone “if it does not work as expected”.
The only other catch is that refurbished models aren’t guaranteed to be waterproof.
If you want a newer iPhone, Amazon is also listing renewed versions of the iPhone 13, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR and iPhone X.
But renewed offerings change over time so you might find different models popping up at certain points of the year.
All you need to do is search for “iPhone renewed” to find refurbished models.
You can also search for a specific model if you have one in mind.
All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed.
Always do your own research before making any purchase.
