Stick It To Tim Cook By Buying These Apple Products Refurbished
This piece was written by the Cracked Shop to tell you about products that are being sold there.
It's been a pretty open secret for quite some time now that Apple price gouges the absolute hell out of its customers. "Oh, you've had an iPhone 8 for four years and it works perfectly fine? Here's a new iOS update that will incinerate its battery and force you to spend $1,500 on a new iPhone 12." It's messed up, and it's time you start gouging Tim Cook right back. When you buy Apple products refurbished, you can save a bundle on things that have been fixed up almost as good as new. We've rounded up some of the best options that you can buy refurbished on sale now.
