Hi there. Mostly because of Amazon's super high commission rate, unfortunately. But also mainly targeted towards international buyers - since Apple products cost much more in Europe and Asia. But if you're interested, I can sell directly via Pay Pal or something similar and take the price down?

They've made several versions of this, and given the big discount, it's probably an older model, possibly for the first iPad. if it's not, you can always return it.

Yes my son got his at the apple store they did not have the blue that I wanted so got mine here and it is the exact same packaging and all. It is OEM!

I got mine from a local AT&T; store. To answer your question, yes it is brand new in the package. Amazon would specify if it were used or an open-box item.

the iphone for sure is not new but i can tell you it is in very good conditions. Well, I can speak for mine. But they send me a card to rate them so it seems that they care about their service.

Amazon screwed me again. The second tablet is also "open box". The seal on one side is broken, which actually allows you to open the box without breaking the second seal. And, sure enough, from the look of the items inside, it's clear that it's a returned/refurbished USED tablet. I'm thinking of reporting them to my state's consumer affairs bureau.

Sadly I received a used phone sold as new. It was unlocked but according to my apple Dealer was out of warranty and had been purchased almost 2 years before. I had trouble plugging the charging cable in and since I live in Bolivia, my first reaction was to take it to my service agent for my apple products. I wrote amazon, they understood and allowed me to return the item even refunding my shipping. I caution against buying from this seller by applaud the amazon experience.

The iPhone I received had a new accessories & was in the original box. However, it did have marks on it. It was refurbished. It works great. I'm disappoint with the marks on the phone though.

It is as new as you get straight from the Apple store. I have purchased 3 mac computer and accessories all from Amazon and have always been very happy. This reseller even shipped it to my residence out of my normal residence and got it in two days.

my phone was new in a sealed iphone box - there were several choices on the seller's site from new/used to used. I chose the one that the detailed description noted that it was in the original box.

No. My understanding it was new non owned. I had problems within 60 days had to go to Apple Store and found out a Bobbie owned It before had same problem I was having. Was not happy. Was going to be 199.00 to replace it. I would not buy from this seller again. FRAUD....

Hi Eunji,Did you buy it? Was it the Full Version as you expected? Recently I've been ripped off with a seller named Apple Worship about this particular issue, and don't want to screw this up again. I'm sure Amazon is a much more reliable seller.Thanks.

Unless it says it's refurbished, then it is new. We ordered one last year and received a new one.

It depends on the seller. I bought it from Amazon and it's a brand new one. Check each seller description.

If it says sold by Amazon, and says new you should be okay. Sometimes these things are on special. Right now, that doesn't seem to be the case (I just checked the price).
