On May 6, Apple officially reintroduced the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to its refurbished store, offering significant discounts that make these premium smartphones more accessible. This annual routine occurs every September, aligning with the launch of new iPhone models. While last year’s standard iPhones remain in the lineup, the Pro models typically get retired. However, they often return to the Apple store later on, which is exactly what has transpired this year.
Purchasing a refurbished iPhone is a smart financial decision for tech enthusiasts looking to save money without compromising on quality. When you buy directly from Apple, you can expect a device that includes a full warranty, manuals, accessories, and even a new battery and outer shell. Apple assures customers that its refurbished phones are of excellent quality, making them a strong value choice.
The iPhone 15 Pro with 128GB storage originally launched at a price of $999. However, in its refurbished condition, it is now available for just $759, offering a total savings of $240. The 256GB model, which initially retailed for $1,099, is now priced at $849. For those requiring more storage, the 512GB version, initially priced at $1,299, can now be purchased for $1,019. Lastly, the 1TB variant, which debuted at $1,499, is now available for $1,189, reflecting a significant savings of $310.
All four colors—natural titanium, blue titanium, white titanium, and black titanium—are currently in stock for these refurbished models, but availability may vary as inventory changes.
In addition to Apple's refurbished store, Amazon also offers refurbished versions of the iPhone 15 Pro, branded as Renewed Premium. While Amazon’s prices are generally lower than Apple’s, it’s important to note that they do not guarantee a new battery or outer shell. For example, the 128GB unlocked model on Amazon is priced at $699.99 for black titanium, $695.23 for blue titanium, $694.01 for natural titanium, and $690.32 for white titanium.
For the 256GB unlocked model, prices vary with black titanium at $740.31, blue titanium at $779.97, natural titanium at $760.30, and white titanium at $738.81. The 512GB version is available for $799.68 in black titanium and $778.06 in blue titanium, among other options. The maximum 1TB storage model is offered at $882.54 in black titanium and $909.57 in natural titanium.
For the first time in the U.S., the iPhone 15 Pro Max is also available as a refurbished model. Currently, all storage options and colors are in stock, but this is subject to change as demand fluctuates. The 256GB storage model is priced at $929, down from its original retail price of $1,199, and includes the standard discounts for being an older model and refurbished. The 512GB version is now available for $1,099, which is $300 less than the original price. The top-tier 1TB version, previously $1,599, is now priced at $1,269 after applicable discounts.
On Amazon, the refurbished iPhone 15 Pro Max is also available, with the 256GB unlocked model priced at $835 for black titanium and natural titanium, and $839.60 for blue titanium and white titanium. The 512GB unlocked version is available for $920 in black titanium and $960.34 in blue titanium, while the 1TB model ranges from $980 to $985.93, depending on the color.
With the reintroduction of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in refurbished condition, Apple and Amazon provide excellent opportunities for consumers to purchase high-quality smartphones at reduced prices. Whether you choose to shop at Apple's refurbished store or opt for Amazon's Renewed Premium offerings, both avenues present significant savings without sacrificing quality. Don’t miss out on the chance to own one of the latest iPhones at a fraction of the cost!
