Apple Is Dumping Old iPhones for Cheap on eBay
If you move quickly and don't mind older technology, you can buy an unlocked iPhone 5 from Apple for a lot less than its asking price. As AppleInsider points out, Apple is currently selling "Certified Pre-Owned" iPhone 5 models on eBay. The 16 GB version, in either white or black, is selling for 449, which is 200 off the original price. That's also 100 cheaper than the current iPhone 5c, which has nearly identical tech specs. Although the full price for an unlocked phone is more expensive than what you'd get with a two-year contract, you could take the phone to ATT or T-Mobile and get cheaper monthly service. Check out our wireless plan pricing guide paying full price gets you the same discount as ATT's Next and T-Mobile's Jump plans, but without the additional monthly phone cost., Apple was also selling the 32 GB iPhone 5 for 479 and the 64 GB iPhone 5 for 499, but those versions sold out rather quickly.
