Amazon Renewed Undercuts Apple on Refurb iPhone 16 Pro: $699 Entry, $819 for 512GB

Lower Renewed prices come without Apple certification or consistent return terms.

Overview

  • Amazon’s Renewed Premium now lists the most affordable unlocked iPhone 16 Pro at $699 shipped, about $300 below the original launch price.
  • The unlocked 512GB iPhone 16 Pro is $819 on Renewed Premium versus $1,019 on Apple’s refurbished store, creating a roughly $200 gap and a $480 drop from the original MSRP.
  • Other Renewed Premium prices tracked include iPhone 16 Pro 1TB at $869, iPhone 16 Pro Max 512GB at $909, and iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB at $949.
  • Apple recently began selling iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max in its U.S. refurbished storefront but does not offer the 128GB model, with the lowest listed option being the 512GB at $1,019.
  • Renewed Premium units are not Apple‑certified but are inspected by Amazon‑qualified suppliers with at least 80% battery capacity and may include generic accessories, and listings cite both 365‑day and 90‑day return windows.
