iPhone X available for Rs. 55,000. But there's a catch
What's the story
If you're looking to buy a new iPhone, the latest iPhone Xs and Xs Max are great. However, these flagship smartphones will lighten your pockets significantly.

And interestingly, Apple has started selling the refurbished version of its 2017's flagship for as low as $769 or roughly Rs. 55,000. Here's everything to know.

Here's how you can order a refurbished iPhone X
Simply head to Apple's Certified Refurbished page and under Featured Offers, you can find the iPhone X deal. At the time of writing, both the 64GB and 256GB storage models were available on UK and US stores. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't deliver to India. So, all Indian customers can try calling up their relatives considering unlocked iPhones work in India (however, you can't claim warranty).
