For a long time, the iPhone has been the leader in the field of smart phones with excellent software ecology and hardware performance.
But for many users who want to experience the iPhone, the relatively high price of the flagship machine is undoubtedly a threshold that cannot be avoided.
If the price of an iPhone can be reduced to 2,000 yuan, I believe many users will be happy to pay.
Recently, the official website of Apple in the United States listed a refurbished iPhone 8, refreshing the lower price limit of the iPhone.
The iPhone 8 refurbished is divided into three price brackets, namely the $319 (about 2029 yuan) 64G version, the $359 (about 2283 yuan) 128GB version, and the $449 (about 2856 yuan) 256GB version.
As of yesterday, both the 64GB and 128GB versions were sold out, leaving only the 256GB version.
That's right, it only takes a price of more than 2,000 to get the flagship iPhone of the past.
In terms of price, this refurbished version of the iPhone 8 is indeed very good value.
Maybe some small partners do not know much about Apple's official refurbished machine, and Xiaoguo will popularize what is a refurbished machine for everyone.
According to the description of Apple's official website, Apple's official refurbished products are different from other traditional second-hand equipment, and all returned equipment will be fully repaired and refurbished.
Refurbished equipment will replace the entire serial number during the refurbishment process, re-register the factory date, and replace it with a special white packaging to prevent it from being sold as a brand new device.
To put it simply, Apple's official refurbished machine meets the relevant quality standards, and there is no difference between it and the original genuine product, except for the return to the factory.
At the same time, the refurbished machine can also enjoy a one-year warranty service consistent with the original product.
Of course, as an "official second-hand phone", Apple will also give users some preferential policies, when purchasing an official refurbished machine, users can enjoy up to 15% price discount.
At present, the refurbished products sold on Apple's official website in China include Mac, iPad, Apple Watch and other accessories.
According to the convention, Apple will occasionally list some refurbished products, after the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max were on the shelves, and this time it was the turn of the iPhone 8.
At present, it is unclear whether this refurbished version of the iPhone 8 will be available in China in the future.
However, even if the refurbished version of the iPhone 8 is really sold in China, Xiaoguo is not recommended for everyone to buy.
iPhone 8 as a product 4 years ago, hardware performance and other aspects have not been as good as before, has not been suitable for users as the main machine to use.
In addition, it is reported that the minimum supported model of the iOS 16 system to be released this year is configured as an A10 chip.
This means that the iPhone 8 with the A11 chip may be officially obsolete as early as next year or the year after.
In addition, there is a better choice, that is, the second generation of iPhone SE released in 2020, equipped with the same A13 chip as the iPhone 11, and uses the same appearance as the iPhone 8.
At present, the official website of the iPhone SE is only priced at 3299 yuan, which is obviously a better choice than the refurbished iPhone 8.
In addition, Apple's spring conference is coming, and the new iPhone SE, as one of the highlights of this conference, is also worth looking forward to.
Combined with the current news from the outside world, the new iPhone SE will be equipped with the same A15 chip as the iPhone 13, support 5G, and continue the design of the previous generation.
It is expected that the pricing of the new iPhone SE will be about 399 US dollars (about 2538 yuan), combined with tariff factors, the price of the iPhone SE version of the National Bank of China is likely to be consistent with the current model, around 3299 yuan.
At present, the audience of the new iPhone SE is very large, whether it is a small screen machine enthusiast, a user who loves the appearance of the iPhone 8, or a small partner who wants to experience the iOS ecology at a low cost, you can pay attention to the upcoming iPhone SE.
