While Woot allows bargain hunters to pay as little as $679.99 for a brand-new unlocked iPhone 15 with 128GB storage and a one-year warranty in five different colorways, the best Amazon can do at the time of this writing is charge 13 bucks less for a refurbished black-only unit in “excellent” condition. Oh, and that deal doesn’t even come directly from the e-commerce giant, being fully handled by a third-party seller.
To be perfectly clear, Woot explicitly states that its marked-down iPhone 15 units have “never been in customer hands” and are thus new and unused for all intents and purposes. The same goes for the 256GB storage variant, which is on sale at $799.99 instead of a list price of $899 under identical conditions and without requirements, strings, or catches.
