Refurbished iPods, cheap... But worth it? - Hardware & Software

Hey there, forum! I need some help. See, I've been wanting one of the new iPods, but I don't quite have enough cash for one. So I plan on getting a refurbished 32GB iPod Touch when they're out. You know, because a lot of people tend to mess up their iPods somehow... I've heard that Apple's refurbishing process is one of the best, since they essentially gut the machines and place new parts inside them. I'm just wondering if it's worth saving the money for a used and refurbished iPod. Leave your opinions below.

How much are you paying for it?

As of now, the new iPod Touch 32GB model costs $300 plus tax, or $330. The refurbished will cost $256, judging on the current price of refurbished 3rd gens.

I bought a refurbished iPod Touch 2nd gen a while back and it was perfectly fine, I think refurbished iPod's even have new screens put on them.

Yeah, the only difference is cost and packaging.

I have one and didn't even know it. You're getting the same thing for less.

And... Who is that in the picture, and why is he in my thread?

He's massive faggot, you should be glad you don't know who he is

I bought a refurbished iPod touch a few years back and when I got it, the screen was cracked o the bottom corner. I was thoroughly disappointed and tried to contact the company that sold it to me and they never replied.

They sell refurbs too. And they come with the full AppleCare Warranty.

Why not? Refurbished is like new, but cheaper. They just replace the parts of some iPod someone returned.

My iPod Touch decided that all audio would stop working, so I got a refurb from my warranty. The screen backlight doesn't work at all, but Apple doesn't seem to care that much.

Is that RayWilliamFaggot? And take your iPod into a store, snaggles

Buying refurbished products from Apple is reliable. I sent a 3GS in for water damage, paid 200 dollars, and they sent me a refurbished one. Pretty much flawless in condition, no scratches, no nothing.
