Our Heritage

At Byte Store, we’re inspired by the legacy of the original Byte Shop — the very first retail computer store that took a chance on two young guys named Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak back in 1976. That deal changed the course of technology forever.

A page for history of the brand

It all started at Byte Shop, Mountain View, California — the first to place a $25,000 order for 50 Apple-1 computers from Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

Even before Apple existed.

As Woz himself put it, that bold purchase order from Byte Shop was the defining moment: it gave them the confidence (and cash) to leave their jobs at HP and Atari and launch what would become Apple Computer.

renew your mindset

Brand new phones devalue the second you buy them, often as much as 40% a year.

Buying a pristine year old model means you can have all the benefits of modern tech, with a significant cash saving! You can also trade in your old handset and offset the cost even more!

Shop smart phones...

renewed by renewed

renewed takes used devices, and then reManufactures them before resale. They might have been returned as an unwanted upgrade, a device the customer has returned as they upgrade. Some phones have simply been opened, looked at, and then given back as it wasn't what they expected.

Next in our state of the art warehouse we wipe any data, test the device is working correctly, grade how tidy the exterior is, thoroughly clean the item, and then re-package each device. You don't get that from a stranger on ebay! A brand spanking used device at an incredible price.
