Starting this week, the phone will be for sale in stores across NSW, WA, TAS, NT, and also Canberra
Customers here in Australia are able to buy an Apple iPhone for just $259.00, and they can purchase the phone at Coles.
The born again devices to sell for $259
The newest iPhone model range commences at $1,199 and can reach prices of up to $2300.00, and while the least costly iPhone (the iPhone SE) is priced from about $649 that's excessive for many buyers, which is one reason why Boost and Coles are teaming up to offer these refurbished iPhones at bargain prices.
Have you considered exactly where our smartphones go after customers people upgrading, or the smartphones are traded in for a new device, there's a large market for "Refurbishing" units.
These handsets aren't just someone else's used unit, these iPhones undergo a 72 point inspection process which ensures that the iPhones are genuine, and are in great condition.
This assessment involves cross checking the police stolen and lost databases, and in addition restoring to factory specifications, before these units are buffed and polished then they are packed in a Boost retail package with a Boost Mobile SIM card.
These refurbished iPhones are also backed by a 12 month warranty. Mr Jonathan Torr, General Manager of non food products at Coles stated this is an innovative step for the company.
On Wednesday's launch, the Boost Mobile iPhones will be available in all states with the exception of the states of Queensland and Victoria
With the phone priced at $259 will appeal to parents after an iPhone for the kids, it will also appeal to people that don't see the need to buy a top of the range phone.
The founder of Boost, Peter Adderton, sees it as a great page to read big plus for lots of Australians.
People are looking for value based phones more than ever and Boost is pleased that, after being the first to market last year, we can now partner with another trusted Australian business in Coles to take refurbished phones mainstream as nobody has done he stated to the media.
These iPhone 7's are unlocked, and can can be used with any telco, and they do come with a prepaid Boost SIM card.
And even though there is thousands of the iPhones for sale upon launch, unlike new handsets there's no supply chain from the factory these or any refurbished smartphones, so it will be an early bird catches the worm type of situation with the refurbished iPhone 7's upon launch at Coles Supermarkets on Wednesday.
