It’s no secret that Apple’s iPhones tend to run on the pricier side. If you’re looking to snag one for less, a refurbished model, or a pre-owned handset that was sent back for a default and subsequently repaired, is a great way to save—especially if it’s coming straight from the manufacturer. Apple is currently offering a $300 savings on a refurbished iPhone X (64 GB memory), which typically costs $899. As the “glitziest, most souped-up iPhone to date,” this thing is phenomenal, according to our tester, who loved it for its gorgeous OLED display, “best-in-class” camera and top-notch performance. You can also get the iPhone XS (256 GB of memory) for $829, a $220 markdown from its usual $1,049, or the iPhone XS Max, now $929 and also $220 off its regular $1,149.
