This week, Apple has started selling (for the first time) refurbished models of almost the entire iPhone 13 line: iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max in the UK, Germany, Italy and USA, with prices reduced by 15% compared to equivalent new models (and beware, all based on its original price last year passed). The standard iPhone 13 isn’t available refurbished yet, but inventory fluctuates regularly.
Availability of refurbished iPhone 13 models expected to arrive soon to other countries such as the United States, since the models now appear in Apple’s refurbished store, although for now they remain in light gray, indicating that they are not yet available. If you are interested in this model, everything seems to indicate that its availability will begin to exist in a few days, so I recommend that you be attentive.
Refurbished iPhones sold by Apple are unlocked, no sim and they come with a new battery, new outer shell and new box (but not the one they use on a new model) with a USB-C to Lightning cable. Devices are also covered by Apple’s one-year limited warranty and they can choose to extend it through AppleCare+. Apple says its refurbished products are thoroughly tested and cleaned, and in most cases are virtually indistinguishable from new devices. They are therefore a the cheapest option to buy a very good device and especially in the official store, which always helps later in case of problems and speeds up the procedures that require a guarantee.
Recall that Apple first presented the iPhone 13 series in September 2021 and iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini continue to sell new as cheaper options to the 14 range. However, Apple no longer sells new iPhone 13 Pro models, which have been replaced by iPhone 14 Pro models.
