They do. It's sold as refurbished.
- DigitalJack 14y agoNo doubt the "new" one he got at a discount was a refurb as well. I had to exchange my 3gs due to a bad battery. The Apple guy brought out a white box 3gs as a replacement. I asked if it was new, and he got a little cryptic only saying it was in "like new condition."
- TylerE 14y agoIsn't that basically the best possible reasonable outcome in that scenario? Would you prefer to spend the same amount of money, and then wait 3-8 weeks for it to get shipped off to a repair facility to be worked on?
- DigitalJack 14y agoOh, I absolutely agree. I think it is great. My comment was with regards to the grandparent post that claimed he had to purchase a new replacement--complaining it was wasteful. My point was that he very likely got a refurb, and then related my refurb replacement story. Sorry for not being clear.
