Want to Buy an iPhone 15 Cheaply? Compare These 3 Methods

① Choose Used or Certified Refurbished
By utilizing Apple Certified Refurbished products or reliable used shops, you can purchase the latest model for tens of thousands of yen less. PRODIG ensures all items are operationally checked, cleaned, and come with a "red SIM" guarantee (protection against network restrictions), making it safe for first-time used purchases. You can get the same quality as certified refurbished at an affordable price. First, check the inventory.
② Utilize Carrier Switch Campaigns
Major carriers' MNP (Mobile Number Portability) discounts are still powerful. By combining switching, student discounts, and family discounts, the device cost can drop by tens of thousands of yen at once. Campaign details change frequently, so check each company's official website for the latest information. It's even more advantageous when combined with trade-ins.
③ Reduce the Burden with Trade-ins and Buybacks
By selling your current old model for a high price, you can significantly reduce the burden. PRODIG's buyback service offers easy and high-value online estimates. If you bring it to the Akihabara store, you can get cash immediately. Tips for increasing the appraisal value will be discussed later.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Choosing Used or Certified Refurbished
Price Difference from New and Warranty Status
Compared to new, certified refurbished or good quality used items can be up to 20,000-30,000 yen or more cheaper. PRODIG offers items with battery health of 80% or more, operational checks, and a warranty, so you can use them with peace of mind. Be sure to check the warranty details and keep the proof of purchase if possible.
How to Choose a Reliable Store
When choosing a used shop, the "red SIM guarantee," "operationally checked," and "cleaned" trifecta is essential. PRODIG applies these to all products and publishes reviews and actual product photos, so you can see the condition at a glance.
Common Concerns and Solutions (Operational Warranty, Battery Condition, etc.)
The most common concern with used items is "What if it breaks right away?" To prevent this, it's crucial to confirm operation within the warranty period and check the battery capacity. Choose a shop with a solid initial defect exchange policy.

Tips to Effectively Reduce the Burden with Buybacks and Trade-ins
Best Time to Sell Your Unwanted Old Model for a High Price
Immediately after a new model is released, the buyback price of older models tends to decrease. The best time to get an appraisal is as soon as you no longer need it. During campaign periods, the price can sometimes increase even further.
Tips to Increase Appraisal Value (Accessories, SIM Unlock, etc.)
Having the original box and accessories, being SIM-unlocked, having confirmed operation, and maintaining a clean exterior can increase the value by several thousand to 10,000 yen. Prepare what you can before getting an appraisal.

Latest Information on Switching Discounts, Student Discounts, and Family Discounts
Don't miss the switching discounts and student discounts offered by major carriers like Docomo, au, and SoftBank. Large campaigns are held every spring and fall, so aim for these timings.
Plan Comparison to Reduce Monthly Costs
Even if you buy a device cheaply, if the monthly fee is high, you might end up losing money overall. The golden rule is to choose a plan that suits your usage, such as low-cost SIMs or low-capacity plans from carriers.
Combination of Used Device Purchase + Low-Cost SIM
Buying a used device from PRODIG and signing up for a low-cost SIM is a classic choice for cost-conscious users. Significantly reduce your monthly fees while enjoying the latest model comfortably for a long time.
