Why are iPhone prices so high?

Been in the market for a newer refurb iPhone 15 to replace my 11 but prices seem so out of touch compared to the resale market. I would guess prices are $200-300 higher on Fizz compared to Kijiji or Marketplace. Prices haven’t budged since the 17’s were released either. Plan discounts offered are only on 13/14 and only 15%. Don’t know about Android prices but these iPhone prices are prohibitively high compared to cash resale. Sure, no warranty or financing option but still… What gives?

    I assume devices from Marketplace or Kijiji aren't really refurbished and don't carry any sort of guarantee, unlike buying from any provider. I'd compare to what retailers are offering instead.

    Hi caution , fake iPhone exist too with low price and possible lock too.

    Phone prices at mobile carriers are often higher than what you'd pay directly on a vendor's website or at vendor or independent retail. You need to compare and pick the deal that is right for you.

    Best is to buy outright
