This way you can get your next iPhone a lot cheaper

We immediately admit it: a new iPhone is quite expensive. And in recent years, Apple’s device has only become more expensive. However, you can get that price tag down a bit. For example, by choosing a refurbished iPhone.

Buying a refurbished iPhone is especially smart if you want an iPhone, but don’t want to pay the top price. You should not look at the latest models, because a refurbished device does not make much difference to the new price. But if you choose a device from a year earlier (think of the iPhone 16 Pro, for example), this can give you a significant advantage.

And the nice thing is if you take an iPhone that is a year (or two) old, you still have a fast phone with an excellent camera, good build quality and long-term support with iOS updates.

Refurbished devices are also often more reliable than second-hand iPhones that are sold ‘via’. A refurbished device is checked, tested and repaired where necessary.

Many providers also give you a warranty, which you usually do not have with a second-hand purchase via sites such as Marktplaats. This also gives you the necessary peace of mind, because you know that the device is technically in order and you will not be left empty-handed if something goes wrong.

Below we will tell you which top devices are best to buy refurbished. And we immediately show where the best prices can be found.

Buy a refurbished iPhone 16 Pro (Max).

The iPhone 16 Pro (Max) is Apple’s flagship model of 2024. Announced on September 9, 2024, it is the first iPhone truly built from the ground up with Apple Intelligence in mind.

What you immediately notice is that Apple is fully committed to operation and camera. It has an action button and a new camera controller. With this control you can quickly open the camera and have (almost) all camera functions immediately at hand.

The screen has also grown to 6.9 inches (6.3 inches on the iPhone 16 Pro), which is especially nice for videos, games and anything where you want a little more space. Under the hood, the iPhone 16 Pro Max runs on the A18 Pro chip, which provides extra speed and smoother performance.

The cameras will also receive an upgrade. The ultra-wide-angle camera stands out, because it goes to 48 megapixels for the first time. In addition, a special Apple Intelligence function has been added: Visual Intelligence, which allows your camera and smart software to get more out of your images together.

You can already buy a refurbished iPhone 16 Pro for €719 and you can buy a refurbished iPhone 16 Pro Max for €838.

Buy a refurbished iPhone 16 (Plus).

Thanks to the A18 chip, the iPhone 16 (Plus) is not only fast, but also ready for Apple Intelligence, making smart functions play a greater role in daily use.

Furthermore, just like the Pro devices, the iPhone 16 Plus has an action button and a camera controller. This allows you to quickly launch a favorite function and put the most important camera options right at your fingertips, making it easier to take photos and videos without fiddling around in menus. The ultra-wide-angle camera has also been improved, so wide shots of landscapes or group photos look a little sharper.

In appearance it remains familiar. The Plus has a 6.7-inch screen and the regular iPhone 16 has a 6.1 screen. They also both have the Dynamic Island and a USB-C port. Where Apple does come out cheerfully is with the colors. The iPhone 16 (Plus) comes in five striking shades, making it look a bit more playful than its predecessor.

You can already buy a refurbished iPhone 16 for €599 and a refurbished iPhone 16 Plus for €656.99.
