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

Lastly, don’t ask me why Vic & QLD are being shunned here, but according to Coles<\/a> they’ll at least be fast-followers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Beginning this Wednesday Coles supermarkets in all states except for QLD & Victoria will begin selling refurbished iPhone 7s via a partnership with Boost Mobile.\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":11548,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[10],"tags":[13,94,1508,212,73],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"reckoner_social_message":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11547"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11547"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11547\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11549,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11547\/revisions\/11549"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
