Apple sells refurb iPhone 16 now, but Amazon’s renewed units are waaaay less – 16 Pro Max 1TB now $611 off

$611 off/16 Pro Max

As you may have seen recently over at 9to5Mac, Apple has just started to offering refurbished iPhone 16 series devices in its online storefront. Thing is, you can score Amazon’s Renewed Premium units with a 1-year warranty for a whole lot less. This 1TB black titanium iPhone 16 Pro Max is now $611 off the original price at Amazon. Details below. 

Amazon is now offering Renewed Premium iPhone 16 Pro Max units with 1TB of storage capacity down at $987.47 shipped. This is an unlocked unit that carried a $1,599 list price in brand new condition – it is within $2 or so of the lowest we have ever tracked on Amazon. 

While Apple’s newly offered refurbished iPhone 16 Pro Max units are up for grabs, you can’t even get a 512GB at a price this low there. The 256GB model is $929 from Apple while the 512GB is $1,099 – it does not offer 1TB models at the time of writing. 

Yes, they are coming straight from Apple and it doesn’t get anymore trustworthy than that, but Amazon’s Premium Renewed listings shipping from and by Amazon are easily the next best thing we have come across. And they are also dramatically less expensive than Apple.
