If you've been tempted to pick up iPhone XR, you can now buy a refurbished one directly from Apple. Taking this approach will shave $100-$120 off the price of the 2018 phone, compared with buying a brand one.

The 64GB and 128GB XRs are available in a variety of colors, and the 256GB one is available in black. The refurbished ones cost $499, $539 and $629, respectively, compared with the regular $599, $649 and $749 prices.

Refurbished iPhones have fresh batteries, new outer shells and a one-year warranty, Apple notes.
