These are a lot cheaper than they were when new – even the 1TB options are affordable. It’s no secret that iPhones hold their resale value better than any.
It’s no secret that iPhones hold their resale value better than any other brand of smartphone – and they are also the most viable as a second-hand purchase since support from Apple and third parties is top-notch. We already looked at some refurbished iPhones last week, but now Amazon has found some newer models.
Let’s start with the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. It’s only a generation behind the current model, but it is so much cheaper. We have a detailed iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. 17 Pro Max comparison article for you. A few highlights include a sturdier titanium frame instead of the scratch-prone aluminum. Battery life is about the same, though the new model charges noticeably faster (65% vs. 46% in 30 minutes, full charge in 72 minutes vs. 117 minutes).
Camera-wise, you will miss out on the new telephoto module – the 16 Pro Max has a 12MP 5x/120mm camera compared to the upgraded 48MP 4x/100mm on the 17 Pro Max.
