Q. Is it a good idea to purchase a used iPhone?

Answer

Buying a secondhand iPhone might save 20-40% compared to purchasing a new one. However the lowest price is not guaranteed in all cases. In order to ensure that someone is receiving the most value for the money he/she should investigate the specific used iPhone model he/she is interested in purchasing. Pre-owned iPhone sales come in various shapes and sizes. These can range from 'less safe' private vendors and auction houses to ‘safe and secure internet marketplaces and authorized resellers. There's nothing better than getting hands on a secondhand iPhone but before the pull the trigger be sure it's not tied to a certain network. If it is an individual has to pay to get access to it.
