“Do you fancy purchasing your next iPhone with a hundred-dollar discount?” Ewen Spence writes for Forbes. “Or would you rather feel the security of buying your next smartphone direct from Apple?”
“Now you can do both,” Spence writes, “as Apple puts its refurbished iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S models on sale in the Apple Store with one-year warranties and the same level of support as a full-priced handset.”

MacDailyNews Take: Apple certified refurbished is the route we always recommend for someone looking to get an Apple product at a discount. The products offered are basically as good as new. An Apple certified refurbished iPhone beats any new non-iPhone every day of the week!

And buy with discounted gift cards
I haven’t seen discounted Apple Store gift cards, but I always stock up on iTunes gift cards when they go on sale for 20% off.
There are plenty of special offers for the iPhone 7 through the carriers, why would anyone go for the 6 series at any price?
The 6 was just the worst and least Apple-like iPhone. Get the 7. There are plenty of incentives available for it. Or get an SE. Anything but a 6 series.
I almost always buy from the referb store and use the savings to pay for Apple Care.
Problem: Poor amounts of built-in drive space in the current refurb iPhones.
