The return of Apple

The new eBay store lists a number of iPhone 5 models, ranging from $449 to $499 in price. The devices are available in black and white, in 16 GB, 32 GB, or 64 GB capacities, and are sold factory-unlocked for GSM networks. They also include a one-year Apple Warranty, and are said to be “returned to like-new condition,” “repackaged with manual and charger,” and have received a “final quality inspection by Apple,” according to the website’s text.

The recently launched store, which goes by the name “FactoryCertified,” could hint at a forthcoming release of new iOS devices, which are typically announced at Apple’s September product launch events.  At this time, it’s not 100 percent certain that this is a real Apple-run store.
