US carrier Virgin Mobile has just announced it will start selling pre-owned iPhone 7 and 7 Plus handsets for prices between $379.99 and $429.99. These smartphones will be available for purchase starting February, once the carrier's Certified Pre-Loved program adds the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to its portfolio.
In case you don't know, a Certified Pre-Loved handset is tested and inspected according to Apple specifications. Also, the iPhone is restored to factory default settings and comes with a brand new battery inside and updated to the latest iOS version. On top of that, Virgin Mobile throws in a one-year Apple limited warranty, along with Apple EarPods and a charger (both new).
If you want to go for either of the two iPhone models next month, you'll be pleased to know that you can pair them with Virgin Mobile's $1 per month for six months plan.
Currently, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are available for purchase at Apple for prices between $550 and $670, but they are brand new, not refurbished units like the ones offered by Virgin Mobile.
