The models sold several years ago are redeveloped and sold cheaply.The image is the iPhone XR
What is done before it is resale is the same as 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.
Although there is a sense of security to buy from a career, it is a good way to buy an iPhone while keeping expenses for used terminals, but not only the 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, you may have heard of "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 models and prices of au Certified and SoftBank Certified at the time of writing are shown in the table below.au Certified is a different model in the au / UQ mobile brand, so it is described.

The models released from the fall of 2017 to the fall of 2019 are lined up, and it is a terminal that has been used for a couple of years and collected by trade -in.It is not much higher than a general used dealer, and it is a reasonable price based on the sense of security handled by careers.
Furthermore, it is assumed that the set sales with the line contract will not be overlooked if a new contract or MNP will work.Since the discount of used terminals has not been made at the moment in au, we will explain the discounts between UQ Mobile and Softbank below.
When purchasing a used iPhone of au Certified on UQ Mobile, the point of MNP / new / model change is the point and price plan.Discounts after discounts for each purchase pattern are summarized in the table below.
| 機種 | MNP（プランM／L） | MNP（プランS） | 新規（プランM／L） | 新規（プランS） | 機種変更 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 8（64GB） | 550円 | 4,400円 | 4,400円 | 8,800円 | 22,000円 |
| iPhone XS（64GB） | 16,500円 | 20,900円 | 22,000円 | 26,400円 | 38,500円 |
| iPhone XR（64GB） | 11,000円 | 15,400円 | 16,500円 | 20,900円 | 27,500円 |
| iPhone XR（128GB） | 13,000円 | 17,400円 | 18,500円 | 22,900円 | 29,500円 |
| iPhone 11（64GB） | 23,800円 | 28,200円 | 34,800円 | 39,200円 | 45,800円 |
| iPhone 11（128GB） | 29,800円 | 34,200円 | 40,800円 | 45,200円 | 51,800円 |
To put it simply, MNP has the largest discount for plan M / L, and discounts decrease when new contracts and plan S.Model changes will be discounted or small.
You can see the iPhone 8, which can be purchased for the lowest 550 yen, but it is the oldest model in September 2017.If you choose an iPhone with a familiar home button, I would like to recommend a new iPhone SE (2nd generation) as of January 2022.Although it is not held in a carrier online shop, there are many cases where it is a significant discount if it is a transition from 3G or MNP for actual stores.
As a writer, I recommend 16,500 yen iPhone XS if you choose from au Certified terminal.Because of the high -end model at the time of release, there are functions that are not found in the current low -cost models such as telephoto lenses, and models after XS / XR are compatible with ESIM, so options such as switching to each company's online plan in the future.Also spreads.
As a supplement, when switching from other brands of the same KDDI, au / Povo1.Transfer from 0 is a model change, POVO2.Only the transfer from 0 is applied to MNP.
SoftBank Certified used iPhone is discounted only when purchasing with MNP.The MNP price of each model is as follows.
It is difficult to compare with UQ Mobile's au Certified because the lineup of models and capacity is different, but the large -capacity model of 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 without dare to take the web discount.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.
