Should You Buy A Refurbished iPod?

Posted on Jun 07, 2008 under ipod reviews | No Comment

This question was asked waaaaay back in 2004 on the Mac Rumors forums.

Back then, the answer from numerous people who HAD bought refurbished iPods was a resounding “YES!” - and today - that answer is still…

YES!

For some reasons why, check out:

5 Reasons to buy a Refurbished iPod

Why Should I buy a Refurbished iPod?

Yahoo Answers: Should I buy a Refurbished iPod?

To summarize what’s in those articles, the main reasons are:

1. A refurbished iPod comes with a ONE YEAR WARRANTY from Apple itself - just like a new iPod would.

2. Refurbished iPods are WAAAY CHEAPER then new iPods. Often half the price of a new iPod.

3. The biggest problem with any iPod is the battery life. When Apple refurbishes an iPod they put a BRAND NEW BATTERY in them - so you don’t have to worry about the battery not working, it’s a new battery anyway!
