In addition to a 15% discount, owners get new accessories and a 1-year-warranty for the pre-owned device.    Apple is known for its pricey devices, but the 2016 iPhone 7 can now be purchased through Apple for just $500. The smartphone maker is now offering certified refurbished models of its two-year-old flagship online, meaning those interested in an iPhone 7 don't have to bargain hunt through third-party sellers. A brand-new iPhone 7 currently starts at $550 when purchased directly from Apple. After being spruced up with a new battery and outer shell, refurbished iPhone models sell unlocked with new accessories and a one-year warranty. The refurbished device program knocks approximately 15% off the original price of an Apple product. Here's a rundown of the refurbished iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus prices base on storage capacity.  iPhone 7 32GB - $500 iPhone 7 128GB - $590 iPhone 7 256GB - $680 iPhone 7 Plus 32GB - $600 iPhone 7 Plus 128GB - $690 iPhone 7 Plus 256GB - $780 Before you thumb your nose up and purchasing such a discounted device, we've previously noted that when iPhone owners get replacement devices under warranty, they are typically refurbished models and not brand-new handsets. Refurbished iPhones are tested and certified by Apple, and tend to work well; one common glitch to look out for is "touch disease," where the touchscreens on devices go unresponsive for no apparent reason, but every refurbished Apple product comes with a one-year warranty in case you run into any of those issues.   A recent report from Bloomberg indicates that some iPhone 7 models, which were likely purchased new, are also having touchscreen issues. So if you're in the market for an iPhone 7, opting for the discounted version may not be a bad idea.  SEE ALSO: Apple just launched a new way to buy an iPhone for cheap   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to: nguyenvu1187.love5@blogger.com   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
