Still have a nagging feeling that you want an iPhone, but aren’t willing to hand over a full $600? How does $100 off sound? That’s a reality thanks to Apple’s refurbished program. $600 iPhones will be $500 and $500 iPhones will be, you guessed it, $400. Although the phones are refurbished, they are still qualified for regular extended warranty service, which you can purchase for $69. Seems a bit odd that refurbs are available so soon after launch, but hey, I’m not one to question Apple.

The news of the refurbished iPhones comes right on the heels of the announcement of a second iPhone lawsuit. Sydney Leung is seeking more than $5 million USD in damages from Apple over the cost and replacement of the iPhone’s battery. The first lawsuit — filed by Jose Trujillo in July — made similar claims. The price cut should be welcome news to potential buyers looking to get a deal on an iPhone. The full one-year warranty should be enough to entice many buyers who might otherwise be turned off by refurbished devices.
