Apple iPhone 16 Pro Prices Drop Even Further In New Offer Before iPhone 17 Release
It’s now less than three weeks until the iPhone 17 series is revealed — it looks like Tuesday, Sept. 9 is the date of the Apple keynote, and there are full details of the schedule here. But if you’re in the mood for a bargain, prices are dropping at places like Amazon for its refurbished devices.

And it’s worth remembering that while the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are likely to remain in the range after the iPhone 17 series are announced, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will almost definitely be retired immediately.
Renewed Premium is the highest tier of refurbished models on Amazon, and the tier has strict qualifications. “The inspection and testing process typically include a full diagnostic test, replacement of any defective parts, and a thorough cleaning process carried out by the qualified supplier, or by Amazon,” as the company says. Additionally, there are no scratches on the display or marks visible on the body when holding it 30 centimeters away from you. The battery must have at least 90% of its original battery life.
The most affordable iPhone 16 Pro has 128GB storage. Buy it new from Apple and it’ll cost you $999. Amazon has much lower prices for Renewed Premium in unlocked condition, here. The lowest price is $804.99, that’s $195.01 off the new price, and an extra $30 off Amazon’s Renewed Premium price just over a month ago. Desert titanium, white titanium and natural titanium cost $819.97, all slightly lower prices than early July, which in turn were cheaper than they were in June.
Switch up to 256GB storage ($1,099 new from Apple) and the Renewed Premium prices start at $879.99 for black titanium. That’s $219.01 less than the new price and more than $56 off the price in July. Desert titanium is $914.97, natural titanium $899 and white titanium $909.97. All prices lower than in July (though only around $4 less for desert titanium, a bigger discount for the other two).
The 512GB storage prices for Renewed Premium in unlocked condition are these: all four colors are $959, that’s $340 less than the brand-new price and more than $100 of the Renewed Premium prices in July.
Finally, the biggest storage capacity, 1TB, which costs $1,499 new from Apple, comes in at $1,029 for all four colors, also cheaper than the July prices.
