Apple has a clear policy for its Pro iPhone models: they’re on sale for a year and then retired when the next Pro comes along. Regular iPhones stay in the mix for longer and you can still buy the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 alongside the latest iPhone 15. Now, in a rare move, Apple has suddenly restored the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max to its refurbished store.
So, why would you do this? The obvious answer is that it saves a lot of money. Refurbished iPhones sold by Apple offer the same one-year warranty as new models. Apple also promises they contain a brand-new battery, so you can feel sure it will have a full life ahead of it, and new outer shell.
If you feel the iPhone 14 Pro is advanced enough and the benefits introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are things you don’t need, then there are appreciable savings to be made.
For instance, the iPhone 15 Pro Max costs $1,199 and up, but the iPhone 14 Pro Max started at $999. And the refurbished models, which are all unlocked to work with any network, start from $849 for the Space Black model with 128GB storage, a savings of $150 over the original price and a lot less than a brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The savings grow as the storage does, so the 256GB model, in Space Black, or in Silver finish are both available refurbished for $929, which is $170 less than the $1,099 you’d have paid to buy it new. And you can save $200 on the model with 512GB storage, where the Space Black, Purple, Silver and Gold colors are all available in refurbished condition for $1,099.
The iPhone 14 Pro is also reduced and available in seven variations. If you want the 128GB storage, you can pay $759, that’s $140 off the $899 that the phone originally cost in new condition. This is available in Space Black only. With 256GB storage, there are two choices, Space Black and Silver. These cost $849, which is $150 off the original price of $999.
The same two colors are available for the 512GB storage models, that is, Space Black and Silver, for $1,019, which is $180 off the original purchase price of $1,199. And if you really must have the highest-available storage capacity, 1TB, then you can choose between Space Black and Silver for $1,189, saving $210 off the $1,399 list price.
