Iphone-5 pre-owned

[Imtiazmughal]

I want to buy a Iphone 5, from 2-3 days, I am trying to check different stores. I found 3 big stores Iphone-5 only in pre-owned condition, not new. I checked in market some shopkeeper saying new, one show me box packed but there write APPLE APPROVED PRE-OWNED. I found everywhere only I5 pre-owned not other phones.
so my question is that is there any problem in Iphone 5 so there are too much phones as pre owned for sale in market?

You can find new here in Pakistan. Some online retailers are selling a new iPhone 5 but only God knows whether they're right or not!

most confusing part is, iphone 4 is availabe as new but iphone 5 is not available. everywhere 4, 5c and 5s available only new, not preowned. but 5 is only preowned not new. this thing is making me more confuse, why other mobile are not available as preowned? why only 5?

Why don't you get iPhone 5c or 5s?

5C I dont like and 5S is out of range. there is too difference in 5 and 5S.

Try to get used iPhone 5s or else preowned iPhone 5 with 18 months warranty all the way!

In Europe and US a lot of people are upgrading to newer 6. Apple has a recycle offer,they give you a credit towards a new phone. Many people have upgraded their phones. The phone apple receive, are refurbished and repacked with "Pre-Owned" and then sold again via their different retailers around the globe.. same like you buy a certified/ pre-owned car. apple give a warranty on the pre-owned phones iPhone recycling program - Get an Apple Gift Card for your old iPhone - Apple Store (U.S.)

thanks fazal wahab bhai, this is the reason why iphone 5 is available as preowned in market. before I thought maybe there is some problem in that model but now I am clear that this is due to exchange.
