Why is there already refurbished iPhone 5? 1st hand user not satisfied with it and decided to sell their iPhone 5 sooner?

A lot of the first wave phones had nicks/scuffs on the body especially the black ones. I myself returned a white one with a nick. I wouldn't be surprised if the return rate was over 10% but Apple would never tell. To have iPhone 5 refurbs at $100 when Apple can't keep up with new phone stock is pretty bad; especially after only 2 months on the market.

Even at the lowest price it's still $100 above what it's worth. Yes, that does mean AT&T should pay you that penny should you be forced or tricked into purchasing this abomination.

If the quality is identical, why is the warranty only 90 days ?

And why there is even a refurbish Iphone? Thats one phone you dont see refurbished unless its an older model.

Of course. A lot of disappointed buyers made the right choice to make use of their buyer's-remorse. Great move people. No wonder Apple is meeting the 'iphone demand' now. Or should I say, 'non-demand'.

Refurbished iphone5's are available before people who originally purchased it the opening week get theirs. .. SHOCKING .. LMAO

No surprise here, with how many came out of the gate absolutely JACKED. Then they have the nerve to say the Android Galaxy series is flimsy plastic and garbage. ..
