Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have long been out in the wild now, but if you’re looking to land a high-capacity unlocked iPhone in the early parts of 2026 the latest models are going to cost you. The 1TB iPhone 17 Pro Max, for example, carries a $1,599 list price and the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max sells for $1,269 in the official Apple Refurbished Store, but Amazon will sell you a 1TB 16 Pro Max for $949 shipped right now – that’s $650 off the original list price.
Amazon is now offering Premium Renewed iPhone 16 Pro Max units with a 1TB storage capacity down at $949 shipped right now. Originally $1,599 at launch, which is the same price a 1TB 17 Pro Max carries, you’re looking at a price at $650 off the original price.
As mentioned above Apple also sells 1TB 16 Pro Max models in its official online refurbished store. This would naturally be the first and best place to score a deal on an unlocked series 16 iPhone, but you are going to be paying all whole lot more there than at Amazon right now – exactly $320 more.
Now clearly, going direct to Apple should be the most reliable source here, and it likely is, but Amazon’s Premium Renewed units have proven to be the next best thing if you ask me and at a much lower price point. They also ship with a 365-day refund/replacement option:
This item can be returned in its original condition for a full refund or replacement within 365 days of receipt.
