This includes high quality refurbished iPhone 8s (64GB) for $279 and iPhone XR’s (64GB) for $499, representing significant reductions both original RRPs.
High quality refurbished iPhones and iPads from Boost Mobile have proven to be ongoing popular items for customers, most recently being one of the hotter items in its pre-Christmas sales. Coles Supermarkets has been partnering with Boost Mobile to sell this high-end technology at great value prices since November 2020, with Boost Mobile able to secure additional stock of two highly sought-after Apple models in time for some great back to school bargains.
The iPhone 8 will be on sale for $279, a saving of $150 off its usual refurbished RRP. It features a 12MP back camera, 7MP selfie camera and a range of other smart features including fingerprint scanning and Siri smart assistant. The iPhone 8 has a glass back allowing for wireless charging and ‘True Tone’ technology to react to and edit the display’s colour balance depending on environmental light.
The iPhone XR takes these features yet another step further, being offered by Boost Mobile at Coles for $499. While both phones have the same resolution cameras, the XR uses more advanced software such as its A12 Bionic Chip to develop better photos and can record 4k videos at 24/30/60fps and 1080p videos at 30/60/120/240fps. It also features a larger 6.1-Inch Liquid Retina Display and Aluminium and Glass Design with a wider range of Colour Finishes. Smart features such as Siri are added to with Face ID and Advanced Camera Systems to unlock your phone.
