      Instead of wiping it with a damp cloth, it's wiped with IPA.

  • Thanks OP, does anyone know how much longer Apple will continue to provide software updates for iPhone 8?

    • +3

      iPhone 8 is currently the cutoff for the latest iOS 16, so it could be the last or possibly receive the next major update.

      Note: iPhone 8 shares the same Apple A11 Bionic Chipset as the iPhone X

    Previous deal was $279 for XR 64GB….

  • Why does the title say 'Boost iPhone'?
    The site mentions it is unlocked.

    • +6

      Boost are the supplier.

      Yes, they are unlocked.

  • iPhone 8 is pretty good deal, but XR is overpriced at $339

    • +1

      for $120 more, you are getting a newer, faster phone with a better camera and bigger screen.

        And much better battery!

        • How do you know the battery health percentage on a refurbished iPhone XR?

          • +3

            @wtfnodeal: the XR had better battery life than the 8.

            They are not talking about an individual unit.

    iPhone SE 2020 64gb condition very good and excellent $319 on the boost website

    • SE will be faster for sure. But XR will still have far better battery life. People buying refurbished are probably less influenced by processing power after a certain extent at which point the XR will probably provide a more balanced experience. I bought the XR for $399 a few weeks ago from Coles and I won't sweat over $60 as its been a pretty good experience as a secondary phone to my iPhone 13 apart from camera and other slight refinements is essentially the same.

        the XR is the sweetspot in terms of price at the moment, it'll do everything except 5G

        • So is the XR @ $339 better than the iPhone 8 @ $219 ?

          • @[Deactivated]: absolutely the XR is 12th generation from 2018 as opposed to 11th generation 2017

        Very good condition 64gb $259 - excellent condition $271.99, 128gb red excellent condition $287, black $299

  • Does "Apple iPhone 8 64GB Premium Refurbished Phone" come with any 'scratches' on the front glass?

    How do you know the condition of a Refurbished Phone until you have already paid and then open the box?

    • -3

      Ask this to the store manager. Open in front of him. If you're not happy to proceed with transaction based on visible condition let them know and hopefully they will reciprocate.

      • I hardly expect that will work

      • how to get banned from coles and the cops called on you

        • Banned for what. Honestly whats wrong with that?

          • @vinnychase: You pay for it first and then, if you're not happy, you can return it.

            • @The Value: oh yes pay upfront. Definitely. Thats a given. Thats like picking up a milk carton and chugging it.

  • I have never bought a refurbished phone before

    Is there a risk that the Apple iPhone XR has had the glass screen replaced with an after market cheap screen?

    • Perhaps, but they are sold as "premium refurb" so I assume when it was traded it was in decent shape to begin with. I've bought a couple, never any issues.

  • How much longer will the XR get updates?

    • 2 more updates

      • to iOS 16.x or iOS 18.x ?

  • XR no longer on sale in NSW
