I know one of the reasons I didn’t go run out and buy the Apple iPhone was because of the price. But it looks like Apple is offering refurbished iPhones online for a cheap and affordable $259 for the 8 GB version.

No word has come out yet on whether or not they’ll be selling the 16 GB or other refurbished versions down the road, but more than likely, judging by Apple’s track record, they probably will. And what’s even better about purchasing the refurbished iPhone, rumor is that you don’t have to pay for activation fees or sign a contract.
