Refurbished iphone - Now with removable battery *Not recommended*


Now you can replace your Refurbished iphone or new iPhone’s battery on your own. Though possible it appears to be a tough surgical procedure and if you are willing to perform this operation at your own risk the guys over at Gear Live have posted a video showing how you can replace your very own iPhone battery.

Apple will repair your iPhone for a service fee of $79, plus $6.95 shipping with the caveat that service may not be available if your iPhone has been damaged due to accident or abuse therefore when you open up the iPhone, there’s a chance of something going wrong, so you could end up paying a lot more than it would have cost you to just get the battery from Apple in the first place.

So the question is how long will the iphone batteries last? iphone owners hope the batteries last long enough that you won’t be doing this very often, but the phones are still pretty new, so we haven’t really found out yet.

The video shows that it is beyond the average user to perform this kind of surgery sucessfully therefore the refurbiphone blog does not recommend this as a try it at home kindof stuff!

iphone: Special Offer for Holidays atleast $200 off

Welcome back to the home of the refurbished iphone !!! As posted earlier we are trying to experiment a new concept(Patent Pending) in online auctions.
This is how it works. (However this is not an iphone refurbished but a brand new one).

1) We set a start price for the iphone (Say $100).
2) You bid a price higher than $100 say $110.
3) Others keep bidding higher for a 1 week listing.
4) After 1 week the auction ends and We look at all the bids.
5) Lets say 3 bidders bid $110 , $120 and $ 130.
6) Then bidder who bids $130 wins the auction. but the amount paid for iphone is average of all bids which is $120.So even though the bid was $130 the price paid is $120.
7) The only catch being that We consider only the highest bids of each of the bidders and the bidder must have bid more than once during the auction to be considered for winning.

Why are we doing this?

We are testing the effectivity of a business idea in the market and want to make sure that it is viable. This method can be very effective when there are huge promotional sales or holiday discounts going.

Here is a sample of products auctioned at ebay.com , Amazon.com , yahoo.com ,ebidz and what price we project you will get here.Also shown is the in-store price at apple/at & t.

iphone cost @ my webstore : $ 359
Apple Store /AT & T new iphone : $ 399
iphone Cost Ebay/Amazon/yahoo : $ 399

We arrived at the $359 number because when we did an extensive test with the ipod We found that we had a consistent 10% discount on ebay or store prices. In some cases it could be much lower even upto 40% discount it all depends on the other bidders.
