Beginning this Wednesday Coles supermarkets in all states except for QLD & Victoria will begin selling refurbished iPhone 7s via a partnership with Boost Mobile.<\/p>\n
For A$259 you can get your mitts on an 32GB iPhone 7 with a $10 Boost Mobile SIM at the same time as picking up your 12 pack of dunny roll whilst pre-hoarding for another wave of COVID-19. The price is set to increase to A$299 after an initial “launch” period, which neither Coles or Boost have specified its length.<\/p>\n
Thankfully Boost have left the phones unlocked meaning you’re not stuck using their network and tout the phones as having undergone a “rigorous 72-point inspection process”<\/em> before being let back out into the wild.<\/p>\n The phones include a 12 month warranty (via Boost) and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. They’ve also had their serial numbers and details checked with a police database to ensure they weren’t stolen phones before landing in their laps.<\/p>\n The iPhone 7 is a solid little unit and a pretty decent deal at $259 considering it can also run Apple’s latest iOS 14. I can see these being pretty popular and something I’d consider looking at the next time I need a phone for my mum or elderly relative.<\/p>\n
