Pro-Tip
Many local shopkeepers still have older stock sitting on their shelves. Do not hesitate to negotiate and buy an “activated” or box-opened phone if it gives you a significant discount. Whether the warranty is freshly started or a few days old, saving money on unused old stock is the smartest way to beat the current market inflation.
