Woot’s Latest Refurb iPhone and Apple Watch Sale Saves You Hundreds

Get your hands on recent models like the iPhone 14 Plus, Apple Watch Series 7 and more at bargain prices.

Apple’s latest iPhone tends to top our list if the best phones available each year and its various Apple Watch models frequently feature on our list of best smartwatches. But enjoying the polished Apple experience comes at a premium, with Apple products often costing more than devices from competing brands. However, if you don’t mind a preowned device, you can save a lot of money next time you buy an Apple product. Woot currently has a massive selection of refurbished Apple Watches and iPhones to choose from, which can save you a ton of cash compared to buying from Apple directly.

See at Woot

The majority of the devices you’ll find at this sale are listed as «Grade A» refurbs. According to Woot, that means that these items have been tested to be in full working condition and will show minimal signs of cosmetic wear and tear. Batteries are also tested to function at minimum 85% capacity.

If you want the most up to date model, Today’s sale features the current-gen iPhone 14 Plus for the first time, and it’s actually listed as factory reconditioned meaning it will be in pristine condition with a battery capacity of at least 95%. Only one configuration is offered, the 512GB model in black, but it’s discounted to just $820 which is a far cry from this model’s $1,199 price brand new.

The previous-gen iPhone 13 is also included in the sale with prices starting at $600. Considering Apple still sells this 256GB device from $799, it’s a rare chance to save on a really recent model. If you want to spend a little less, the iPhone 12 is still an excellent phone that’s more than sufficient for most people thanks to its 5G capabilities, OLED display and powerful A14 Bionic chip. It’s a great value starting at just $360, which is over $200 less than buying new from Apple directly, or $290 for the iPhone 12 Mini. In our iPhone 14 review, CNET’s Patrick Holland said there isn’t a compelling reason to upgrade to the iPhone 14 from the iPhone 12, meaning this is still a great phone for a lot of folks today.

On the smartwatch side, the Apple Watch Series 7 from 2021 is the latest model available from $240. Outside of the temperature sensor and crash detection features found on the Series 8, the older Series 7 has basically the same display, battery life, connectivity and features making it a solid option in 2023. The Apple Watch Series 6 is available for even less, as little as $190, and will still work great for the average user, or you can spend even less with a Series 4 model starting at just $130 — ideal for someone just testing the waters with their first Apple Watch.

Cheaper devices like the iPhone SE and iPhone 8 start at $120 and the Apple Watch Series 3 is available from $95, but beware that support for future software updates isn’t guaranteed and the Series 3 doesn’t support the current WatchOS 9 update.

Overall, these are some of the best value Apple deals you’ll find right now. These offers will end May 27, or when these refurbished models sell out, so we recommend acting sooner rather than later.

Unlock Borderlands 4 Power: Try These Active SHiFT Codes ASAP

These are the latest SHiFT codes that unlock epic loot and cosmetics in Borderlands 4, but you must act quickly.

The biggest looter shooter of the year, Borderlands 4, is out, and players are already taking the fight to the Timekeeper on Kairos. If you want to put the beat down on someone strong enough to control time, then you’re going to need an arsenal of powerful weapons and equipment.

Luckily, developer Gearbox Software is willing to lend a helping hand. Instead of having to farm every piece of legendary equipment in-game, you can roll the dice on some loot with Golden Keys unlocked by SHiFT promo codes.

If you’re already swimming in more loot than you know what to do with, some SHiFT codes also unlock special cosmetic looks for your favorite vault hunters. Special in-game challenges have already unlocked promo codes for Amon, Rafa and Vex vault hunter skins, with a Harlowe skin unlocking soon. Here’s how to use the latest SHiFT codes in Borderlands 4.

All active SHiFT codes for Borderlands 4

You can hunt down SHiFT codes on social media, but we’ll keep all of the active promo codes in one place for ease of access.

Below, you’ll find a chart that contains every active SHiFT code for Borderlands 4, what it unlocks and its expiration date:

Active Borderlands 4 SHiFT codes

Reward	SHiFT code	Expiration date
Vex Mass Market Appeal Skin	BZ6JJ-CB6CT-WXJJW-3TT3B-56FZ5	Jan. 1, 2031
Amon Cult Classic Skin	JZ6BJ-SBR5J-WF3BK-BT3BB-TX9HB	Dec. 31, 2030
Rafa Savings Savior Skin	TZXT3-XJXCB-CXBJW-BTTJT-9SK6B	Dec. 31, 2030

Golden Key	T9RJB-BFKRR-3RBTW-B33TB-KCZB9	No expiration

How to redeem SHiFT codes for your Borderlands 4 account

While SHiFT codes are totally free rewards for you to accumulate, you must make a SHiFT account to input any active codes in-game.

SHiFT is a service that Gearbox integrates into its biggest games, and making an account unlocks forums and exclusive beta participation. It’s also necessary to create an account to turn in any promo codes, which is what most fans care about.

Once your account is created, you can enter your SHiFT codes in two separate places. Within your SHiFT account settings, you can find a Rewards tab with a field to enter any Borderlands promo codes. Once you enter the codes, any unlocked items will be added to your account the next time you open the game.

However, an easier way to input your SHiFT codes is within Borderlands 4 itself. Within the game’s pause menu, you can access a SHiFT. Select the Rewards tab from the resulting menu, input your codes and the unlocked items will be immediately available on your save.

Where are SHiFT codes normally released?

SHiFT codes are released frequently on Gearbox and Gearbox-affiliated social media channels. For the best chance at catching every new SHiFT code that gets released, you should follow Gearbox on X and on Facebook.

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford also releases promos on his X account, so if you’re brave enough to follow him despite his frequent outbursts toward fans you can find SHiFT codes there as well.

What are SHiFT codes?

SHiFT codes are promo codes that Gearbox occasionally releases that reward players with loot and cosmetics in Borderlands games. The main SHiFT code reward is a Golden Key, which opens the Golden Chest in most Borderlands hub areas.

But don’t spend them immediately — it’s worth saving your Golden Keys until you reach the level cap and are playing on the hardest difficulty, as the loot rewards will scale to your character accordingly. This is a great way to begin farming some endgame legendaries quickly and easily.
