Fans of Samsung and Apple throng to eBay in search of discounted iPhones and Galaxy phones

The holiday shopping season is rapidly approaching, and eBay is the newest company to start an outrageous offer that includes iPhone and Galaxy discounts.

A variety of top-selling products, including hundreds off iPhone and Samsung Galaxy phones, have been discounted by up to 50% at online store eBay. The auction site offers pricing that are lower than those on the Apple Store and Samsung Store, making these must-have phones much more accessible to you if you're wanting to spend as little money as possible on your next mobile purchase.

iPhone and S22 models are now hundreds cheaper

But there's a problem. Refurbished versions on eBay are now significantly less expensive, which is great for anyone who want to save money but still own a high-quality phone.

The savings may not be as significant this time, but the iPhone 14 Pro Max is now £365 cheaper, while the Samsung S22 Ultra is now up to £448 less expensive than it was when it was first introduced last year.

Save hundreds on Samsung and Apple phones.

The online retailer has announced significant price reductions on all reconditioned and "used and approved" electronic devices displayed on its website. Home products such as Ninja airfryers, Dyson vacuums, LG smart TVs, and mobile phones are included.

The price of an iPhone 14 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is now among the lowest available.

Clicking the condition filters on the side of the sale window will allow those looking for a flawlessly "brand-new" phone to locate a refurbished iPhone 14 Pro Max in "excellent" condition for £839.69, which is more than £300 less than what Apple would charge.

Similarly, if you're interested in the Samsung S22 Ultra, choose the "excellent-refurbished" checkbox on the left side to see the phone's price of £629.99, which is significantly less than the official Samsung store's asking price of £519. 

Is the cheaper price justified?

No matter their state, all refurbished devices have been inspected to guarantee they perform to a high quality and come with a one-year warranty to reassure customers. As you can see from the conditions below, the major focus of the criterion is physical damage (scratches and markings), not internal software operation.

The many reconditioned phone models, including Samsung and iPhone, that are available on eBay

The refurbished phone's state only determines the lowered price, which eBay makes apparent on its website; customers may select between certified, exceptional, very good, or decent conditions.

Additionally, buyers have access to a variety of popular electronic products from brands like Dyson and Ninja in addition to cellphones. In the same way as the wildly popular Ninja Foodi Dual Zone AirFryer, Ninja Foodi Flex Drawer, and Ninja Foodi Electric BBQ & Smoker.

Another option is the Dyson V7 Absolute Cordless Vacuum, which is now £50 cheaper and in "excellent - refurbished" condition. Refurbished items are available elsewhere outside eBay, as the Dyson Renewed shop offers a variety of competitive pricing.
