Woot’s Presidents Day iPhone and Apple Watch Blowout Offers Refurb Deals From $100
This sale offers recent models like the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7 and more.
The latest iPhone tends to be one of the best phones to buy each year and Apple’s various Apple Watch models usually feature on our list of the best smartwatches. The premium Apple experience comes at a price, though, with its gear often costing more than devices from competing brands. However, if you don’t mind a preowned device, you can save a ton of cash on your next Apple product with this one-day sale at Woot. You can choose from a massive selection of refurbished Apple Watches and iPhones and save big compared to buying from Apple directly.
All the devices you’ll find at this sale are «scratch and dent» refurbs. According to Woot, that means that these items have been tested to be full working condition but are expected to have a moderate level of wear and tear. Batteries are also tested to function at minimum 85% capacity. Though none of the latest iPhone 14 or Apple Watch Series 8 models are on sale, many of these previous-generation devices are still great buys.
The previous-gen iPhone 13 is included in the sale with prices starting at $590. Considering Apple still sells this device from $700, it’s a rare chance to save on a really recent model. Similarly, this sale offers some solid savings on 2021’s Apple Watch Series 7 with models available there from $260. Where you can find a Series 7 brand new these days you’re still regularly looking at prices north of $300.
For those wanting to spend a little less, the iPhone 12 is still an excellent phone that’s more than sufficient for most users thanks to its 5G capabilities, OLED display and powerful A14 Bionic chip. It’s a great value starting at just $390, which is over $200 less than buying new from Apple directly, or $320 for the iPhone 12 Mini. In our iPhone 14 review, CNET’s Patrick Holland stated that there isn’t really a compelling reason to upgrade to the iPhone 14 from the iPhone 12 meaning it’s still a great phone for a lot of folks today.
The Apple Watch Series 6 is a good choice of smartwatch. Available from as little as $190, it offers many of the same features as the Series 7 at a lower price. Or, you can spend a little less with Series 4 and Series 5 models starting at just $120 — ideal for someone just testing the waters with their first Apple Watch.
Older phones like the iPhone SE and iPhone XR start at $140 if you’re looking for the cheapest devices, and the now-discontinued Apple Watch Series 3 is also available from as little as $100. Just note that some of the oldest model will have limited or no support for the latest software from Apple or may be incompatible with future versions.
Overall, these are some of the best value Apple deals you’ll find right now — but the sale expires tonight, or when these refurbished models sell out, so we recommend acting sooner rather than later.

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers
Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?
The answer is already here — eSIM.
Why eSIM Is So Convenient
eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel
Now your internet travels with you.
