With the major shopping events of Black Friday, Prime Day, and the 2024 holiday season behind us, many consumers have made their smartphone upgrades. As a result, various renewed iPhones have become available, offering a more affordable option for those looking for a reliable device without the brand-new price tag. In this article, we'll be diving into the renewed iPhone market, focusing on models ranging from the latest iPhone 16 down to the iPhone 13 series.
The renewed iPhone 16 models are surprisingly accessible, though they often hover near the price of new devices. However, savvy shoppers can find deals, especially for higher storage options, allowing for significant savings. These latest models come equipped with Apple's innovative features such as the Camera Control and the highly anticipated Action Button. Keep in mind that the Pro versions of these devices are larger than their non-Pro counterparts, with sizes varying from 6.1" and 6.7" for the vanilla models to 6.3" and 6.9" for the Pro editions.
Apple continues to offer older non-Pro iPhone models, dating back to the 14 series, so we've provided pricing comparisons with new units where available. Unfortunately, the older Pro models are off the table directly from Apple, but Amazon has trade-in options that could provide up to $220 credit when you're ready to make a swap.
The iPhone 15 series marks Apple's transition to USB-C, a change that will likely stick around for years to come. Though trade-offs exist—such as missing out on the latest controls and the 48MP ultra wide camera found in the 16 models—these devices still offer a wealth of features. Just note, that while the Pro and Pro Max versions pack additional capabilities, the base iPhone 15 models will not support Apple Intelligence.
The iPhone 14 series, the last to utilize the Lightning connector, remains a viable option for those with existing cables. Despite lacking the 48MP upgrade found in the 15 series, the Pro versions boast advanced photography features. MagSafe compatibility ensures that charging devices remain user-friendly.
Finally, the iPhone 13 series, which made its debut in 2021, features 12MP main cameras across all models and lacks the more advanced display technology seen in later versions. The iPhone 13 mini is a particularly good choice for users seeking a compact yet powerful device.
