Consumers throughout Australia can now get their hands on an iPhone for the price of $259, and you can purchase the iPhone at their local Coles supermarket.
The born again iPhones to cost $ 259.00
Apple's new iPhone 12 model range is priced at just under $1200 and can reach prices of up to $2,300, even the cheapest iPhone (the iPhone SE) is priced from about $650 which is still too expensive for many consumers, and this is why Boost Mobile and Coles have teamed up to provide refurbished phones at down down prices.
Have you considered where your smartphones end up after people people upgrading, and when the smartphones have been traded in for the latest phone, there is a large after-market for refurbished handsets.
These refurbished hndsets are not just someone else's second hand smartphone, these iPhones is subject to a 72 point assessment which ensures that these units are genuine, and that they are in as new order.

And the testing includes checking the police's stolen and lost device database, as well as factory resetting, before the smartphones are polished and buffed and then packaged up in a box with a $10 SIM card.
The refurbished phones are backed with a warranty of 12 months. Mr Torr, General Manager of non food products at Coles announced it was innovative for the organisation.
During Wednesday's launch, the Boost Mobile iPhones will be on sale in Australia except in Victoria and Queensland
And with the phone priced at $259.00 this will surely appeal to Dads and Mums after an iPhone for their kids, or to customers that don't see the need to purchase a top of the range smartphone.
Peter Adderton, who is the founder of Boost Mobile, believes this is a big bonus for lots of Australians.
Consumers are chasing a cost cheaper phone now, more than ever and Boost is happy that, after we were the first to market last year, we are now partnering with another great Aussie business in Coles to take refurbished smartphones to the people as nobody has done before Mr Adderton told 9News.com.au.
These refurbished devices are not network locked, are able to be ran with any telco, however they are sold with with an included Boost SIM card with $10 value.
And even though there's going to be many of phones for sale upon launch, there's not a factory supply chain, unlike with new phones with refurbed iPhones, and it will be a first in, best dressed type of situation for the refurbed handsets upon launch in Coles supermarkets.
