Apple Knocks $100 Off Refurb iPhones

This obviously isn’t a regular price drop, alas, the wildly popular – and successful – iPhone just dropped on the public a month and a half ago. But there are refurbished models available on Apple’s Hot Deals site. If you act quickly, you’ll be able to grab a 4GB iPhone for $399 (instead of $499) and an 8GB iPhone for $499 (instead of $599).

Apple’s refurbished products still carry a standard warranty, and are eligible for AppleCare protection for an added cost ($69). In my experience, refurbished items from Apple are very reliable, and usually a great bargain, so if you’ve been waiting for your iPhone, this $100 deal may be the right incentive you’ve been waiting for.

EDIT: title change – seriously? People thought the new-phone price would already drop on a month old piece of hardware? Ok, the still accurate title defines that it’s actually refurb models.
