What is the career "certified old -fashioned iPhone"?AU/UQ/SoftBank's great deals summary

The models sold several years ago are redeveloped and sold cheaply.The image is the iPhone XR

Softbank launched "SoftBank Certified", which resells used iPhones that have been certified by their own standards on January 19.Au / UQ Mobile has also operated a similar system since 2020 under the name "au Certified".[Image] At the time of release, "iPhone XS", which cost more than 100,000 yen, can be purchased at an affordable price, what kind of new "career -certified old -fashioned" mechanism can be purchased with confidence.Explain.When changing the model to a new smartphone that reuses the terminal that has returned to the career by trade -in, etc., the discount system that has been used for trade -in for the smartphone that has been used so far has spread, so it has been sold.There are a certain number of devices returning to career a few years later.In the past, used terminals collected in careers in the trade -in system were often wholesale to traders, and it has not been much to sell again directly to consumers in Japan.It is a new option that appeared in the need for cheap terminals due to changes in the market environment.What is done before it is resold from a general used iPhone is not much different from a general used dealer.It is explained that it will be sold after inspection by specialized contractors, extinguishing complete data, and cleaning the exterior.One of the different points from the general used iPhone is that the battery condition is guaranteed.In general used dealers, parts that can deteriorate performance if used for a long time, such as batteries and screen, are often not guaranteed.Au Certified and SoftBank Certified include the standards of "battery capacity 80 % or more" in the test items, and the terminals are "still usable" with more strict standards, so it is easy to get out of quality in terms of quality.See.In addition, "there is no need to worry about network restrictions" is also a difference in security.As the precautions of SoftBank Certified stipulate that "there is no network limit on the unpaid installment of the former user, there is no need to worry about becoming a" red rom ".It is the unique response of the original carrier, the original seller, that can eliminate these detailed risks.Furthermore, in the case of au Certified, it can also join "failure loss support" as in the same way as a new one.When it is broken or lost, this guarantee service, which can be easily obtained with a single phone call and a few thousand yen expenses, has a high subscription rate since the feature phone era, and it has already become a matter of course.There are many users.There are several warranty services that can be subscribed to used smartphones and cheap smartphones, but most of them are lost or stolen.It's a reassuring point that you can get full service based on career standards even though it is a used terminal that can be obtained cheaply.Career certification Due to a sense of security when buying old goods, there is a sense of security to buy from a carrier, but it is a good way to buy an iPhone while reducing spending due to used terminals, but it is not only merit.Career certification will also tell you the precautions when buying old goods.First of all, it is worrisome that you can't choose things.There is a reason that it is sold only online, but in the case of used dealers, there are many stores where images are posted individually so that they can check the actual status even online.Au Certified and SoftBank Certified do not know the condition of scratches until you receive the product, and the feeling of "minor scratches" and "thin wounds" guided can be unexpected because each person is individual.And the reason for actively choosing old -fashioned careers is still cheap, but I also want to think about whether you can buy it at a really cheap price.In some cases, you may want to buy a new model from the current model, such as the price plan to be contracted or how long you intend to use it.Specific examples will be introduced individually in the second half.If you are a little familiar with Apple's "Certified Maintenance Products", many people have seen and heard about "certified and maintained products" as a method of buying Apple products cheaply.The sound of the words is similar, but be careful as the "certified old -fashioned iPhone" issued by the mobile carrier is completely different.If you briefly mention Apple's certified and maintained products, we basically returned to the manufacturer in a short period of time, such as those that were canceled for some reason, and in the case of iOS devices, batteries and exteriors are new.It is as close to a new one because it is a rule to be replaced.As an aside, Japan has not sold iPhone certified products, and is targeted for Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch.As explained so far, the old -fashioned career -certified old goods are used, not the value of outlet.It is also specified that scratched terminals may arrive, so I would like to recognize them in advance.The model and price of au Certified, SoftBank Certified at the time of writing the prices of old -fashioned products are shown in the table below.au Certified is a different model in the au / UQ mobile brand, so it is described.SoftBank Certified Discount SoftBank Certified used iPhone is discounted only when purchasing with MNP.The MNP price of each model is as follows.iPhone 8 (64GB): 480 yen iPhone X (64GB): 9,600 yen iPhone XS (256GB): 19,680 yen iPhone XR (128GB): 9,600 yen Due to different models and capacity, simple comparison with UQ Mobile's au Certified is simple comparison.Although it is difficult to do, the large -capacity model of the iPhone XS and XR has a sense of price.However, it is important to note that it is necessary to choose a large -capacity plan "Sharp Unlimited" for purchasing at the MNP price.It is a plan for 7,238 yen / month if you do not consider the set discount with your family discount or fixed line.There is a high possibility that it will not match the user who says, "I want to use the minimum, so I want to raise it cheaply with old -fashioned products." It is highly possible that you can choose a minifit plan + of 3,278 yen / month from month without taking the web.Since the terminal price before the discount is also set cheaply, there is no loss even if you choose a large capacity plan.In addition, the "web discount" applied at the time of MNP contract is a discount that can be received not only for SoftBank Certified models, but also for new products.If there is no problem in choosing a large capacity plan, select a new iPhone 11 or iPhone SE (2nd generation), and use the "new tool support" with the premise of returning two years later.There is also an option.In this case, it will be the flow to set up in the 24th time in 48 installments, so it will be discarded half of the web discount, but if you calculate the real burden for reference, 22,320 for iPhone 11 (64GB).For yen, iPhone SE (2nd generation / 64GB) costs 18,000 yen.Since the burden is not so different from the accredited old product, please consider it together.
