I believe this is one of the cheapest prices for the iPhone 8. Still a very decent phone. Much better than anything brand new at this price point. You can use PMAY15 if you already have an eBay account, or make a new one (and cancel your free trial of eBay plus before renewal) to access PMAY17 for that extra saving 🤑.
Thanks, and please let me know if there is anything wrong with my post. Cheers!
I can't seem to find their condition guide, but generally "good" will include scratches and possibly a dent.
Not commenting on thy value of this deal. Just info as I personally find refurb condition guides misleading.
No worries. Thanks for mentioning that!
Haha nice. Your google-fu is clearly stronger than mine! To be fair that quality is on the better side of good than what I've seen.
They say 80% battery life as a minimum as if you have 80% left.
This is false, the phone could soon start to throttle or shutdown under load.
I had a phone that started doing this at 90% it was soon unusable.
You need to budget for an imminent battery change with this phone. Apple charge about $120.
Apple addressed this in software. This should be an easy Google.
All my apple mobile products become unusable after a few years. And apple have been caught and punished for planned obsolescence.
I will never buy another apple product. I only have the latest iphone because my work wants me to have the most expensive phone.
How many is a few years though? I use pixel as my personal and apple as work, outside the pixel I feel most android phones are unusable quicker than iPhones.
I have a nearly 10 year old iPad mini 2 (iOS no longer up to date) that still works as a basic music streaming screen.
In my experience, most apple products have a longer usable life span than their competitors. I’m still using a 2011 iMac. My iPhone 8 is now nearly 5 years old.
I would only get this if it has a brand new battery. I have an iPhone 8, and while it’s a great phone, the battery throttling slows it down, and the battery drains very quickly. I’m on 76% battery health, but it’s been bad since 80%.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/323542649616?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mk… this may be cheaper with the coupon code that is on the page for it (shoprefurb7) comes down to less than $209.75. I don't have ebay plus so not sure on that
