TL;DR: The Apple iPhone SE (2nd Gen, 2020), 128GB, unlocked, and refurbished, is marked down to $104.99 from $359, a 70% discount.
I’ve recommended a backup iPhone to more friends and family than I can count, and the pitch is always the same: you don’t need the newest one, you need one that works, updates, and doesn’t cost as much as rent, like the iPhone SE (2020) with 128GB storage. It’s refurbished, unlocked, and down to $104.99, 70% off its original $359.00 price.
What you’re actually getting
Refurbished doesn’t mean obsolete — runs Apple’s A13 Bionic chip, the same processor Apple used across several iPhone generations, so it still handles everyday apps, streaming, and social media without lagging. It comes in at Grade “B” refurbished, meaning you might see light scuffing on the edges or a small scratch here or there, but nothing that affects how it works.
Specs worth knowing:
Unlocked, so it works with any compatible carrier
4.7-inch Retina HD display with True Tone
128GB storage, 3GB RAM
Updates to the current version of iOS
12MP rear camera with 4K video, 7MP front camera for FaceTime
Touch ID for unlocking and secure payments
Qi wireless charging and a Lightning connector
Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and dual SIM support
IP67 water resistance
Why a refurbished makes sense
A phone this size and price is close to ideal as a backup device, something you keep charged in a drawer for the day your main phone dies, gets stolen, or needs to go in for repair. It’s also a low-stakes way to try the Apple ecosystem for the first time if you’ve been on Android and are curious, since it still handles iMessage, FaceTime, and the App Store like any current iPhone.
It ships with a charging cable and wall adapter, and it’s backed by a 30-day return window and a 30-day parts-and-labor warranty if something’s off out of the box.
At $104.99, this isn’t your everyday driver if you’re glued to your phone for work, but as a second device or an entry point into Apple’s ecosystem, it does the job for a fraction of the cost of a new iPhone. Get the refurbished iPhone SE for $104.99, down from $359.00, while supplies last.
