Hey guys Phillip Di here from PhillipDi.com I hope you are well.
I'm doing some market research and I'm looking for people to help send links to the lowest and current price for an iPhone 6 & 6s 32gb & 64gb
This is in preparation to a post/deal I'm going to make
I found a 64GB iphone 6s for $582.95aud but am getting mixed results on finding iphone 6's

If there's something cheaper I would like to see it so I can beat it.
Cheers :D
Interesting about the sensor, is this because its cheaper to replace?
I'm looking for the cheapest BRAND NEW phone prices to compare with
It's because there's a big market to sell broken and stolen iPhones.
You can replace the display, camera, battery, and housing with cheaper 3rd-party without problems. However, you cannot change the touchID sensor to a 3rd-party or even genuine Apple ones. The phone only accepts the original module. This means, the Home Button would work but you cannot log-in with your fingerprint to the phone or Apple Pay.
Some sellers hide this fact in the description, something like two-words "no finger" squished in a wall of thousand letters.
Others outright don't mention it.
I wouldn't buy an iPhone off the internet unless it was from a genuine seller. Or if it was seen on gumtree, and you simply bought a used one.
Don't go for the refurbs, because, when the parts fail you're gonna have a bad time.
How much are the iPhone boxes by themselves?
no idea
I would send the seller message, asking them to clarify if the item was sealed BY APPLE meaning it is BRAND New.
Thus, it WILL have a 12 month warranty COVERED BY Apple.
….Or…. if the item is simply new, and RE-sealed by the seller with Apple-Branded accessories, and given 12 months SELLERS warranty. This distinction is important. Many sellers, especially on eBay use this tactic to deceive people.
They act coy and hope you're simply too lazy/pushover to make a complaint.
Essentially selling a Refurbished phone at marked up price. Not that is wrong, its the deception that is wrong.
Also do note, some/many refurbished iPhones do not have a functioning TouchID sensor.
