How to Buy an iPhone 11 Cheaply | A Smart Used Purchase Guide for Safety, Savings, and Practicality

Complete Guide to Buying an iPhone 11 Cheaply

"I want to get an iPhone 11 as cheaply as possible." "Is it safe to use even if it's used?" For those with such concerns, this article provides a comprehensive explanation of how to purchase an iPhone 11 at a good price.

The iPhone 11 offers an excellent balance of performance, camera, and battery, and remains a perfectly viable model today. However, new units are almost out of circulation, limiting options to used, refurbished, or trade-in campaigns.

Many people have concerns about used phones, such as "the battery might be worn out" or "I'm worried about a red-locked phone," but you can use them with peace of mind if you know how to choose correctly.

This article explains precautions for buying used, market prices, smart buying methods utilizing trade-ins, and conditions for reliable retailers.


4 Ways to Buy an iPhone 11 Cheaply

Method 1: Buy Used

In the used market, the iPhone 11 is available from around 20,000 yen, making it a highly cost-effective option. Especially at used specialty shops, battery capacity and exterior condition are clearly stated, providing peace of mind even for beginners.

Method 2: Aim for Certified Refurbished Products

Apple certified refurbished products tend to be 30-40% cheaper than new ones while maintaining near-new quality. Currently, iPhone 11 refurbished products are rarely officially available, but some shops may sell independently refurbished devices.


Method 3: Utilize MNP (Mobile Number Portability) Campaigns

Various low-cost SIM carriers regularly offer campaigns that discount device prices when switching providers. The iPhone 11 may be eligible, and if the conditions are met, it can sometimes be acquired for effectively less than 10,000 yen.


Method 4: Combine Used Purchase with Trade-in

This method involves selling your current smartphone and using the funds to purchase an iPhone 11. Utilizing a trade-in can reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.

Checkpoints for a Reliable Used iPhone 11

Check Battery Condition

The most important factor when buying used is battery degradation. If the maximum capacity is 80% or more, there will be no hindrance to normal use. Check if the battery information is clearly stated on the sales website.


Availability of Red-Locked Phone Guarantee

A red-locked phone is a device with network restrictions due to unpaid bills. As there is a risk of losing communication after purchase, it is important to choose a retailer that offers a red-locked phone guarantee.


Check Exterior and Screen Condition

Check for cracks, chips, and screen burn-in. If you can't judge from photos alone, refer to the stated condition rank (A, B, C, etc.).


Confirmed Operation and Cleaning

Confirmation that all functions have been tested and that the device has been cleaned, both internally and externally, also provides peace of mind.
