Buy iPhones cheap - the best tips
Apple's iPhones are still very popular, but the price is just as high. This practical tip shows you how to buy iPhones cheaply and what you should consider.
Tip 1: Buy iPhone cheap abroad
- While you could also buy a laptop in Germany for the price of an iPhone, Apple's smartphone outside of Germany often gets you considerably cheaper.
- In 2013, the iPhone 5S (16 GB) only cost 560.26 euros in the USA and was over 100 euros cheaper than here.
- So on your next vacation it is worthwhile to have a look at the technology shop. But do not forget to pay attention to any applicable customs fees.
Tip 2: Buy used iPhone cheaply
- You can get iPhones particularly cheap if they already had a previous owner. If you want to save around 100 euros and can live with smaller deductions, you should buy a used iPhone.
- Whether on eBay or reBuy, there are a lot of used iPhone on the Internet. In a practical tip, we explain the difference between eBay and rebuy.
- At reBuy, the cell phones offered are even checked for suitability and defects by hand - the price is adjusted accordingly.
- We will explain in another practical tip how you can recognize dubious offers on eBay.
Tip 3: Buy iPhone cheaply
- It sounds too good to be true: "iPhone sold for 15 euros!" - Auction sites like MadBid or snipster advertise with such slogans.
- There you can buy coins for bidding and then take part in an auction. It is then important to outbid the other bidders until you become too expensive and give them up or until the auction ends.
- In theory, it is possible to buy such an iPhone for a few euros, but the risk of losing money properly remains. Because you lose every euro you put into an auction even if you ultimately cannot purchase the product.
Tip 4: iPhone in installments
If you take your breath away when looking into your wallet, you can also pay off an iPhone in installments. You pay for iPhones in (more or less) small monthly installments. The iPhone will not be cheaper, but if you don't even have 700 euros on hand, you can benefit from paying in installments. But you should first calculate exactly how much you will pay afterwards - the interest rate is usually very high. You can buy an iPhone in installments almost everywhere; in certain campaign periods even with "zero percent financing".
