I bought an iphone 7 which stopped working outside of the 30 days return window due to a known issue:

Apple will not honor the repair since the "refurbished" phone's original sale date is older than 4 years.
This makes their "long-lived" phone as useless as a cell phone as woot is as a service.
I will never use woot again, since it is obviously a scam to unload defective equipment.
