Apple Brings Back iPhone 14 Pro For First Time—At Lower Price, Refurbished

Apple has reintroduced the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max to its refurbished store, offering them at lower prices than their original retail costs. This move provides a more affordable option for consumers to access previous Pro models, which are typically retired after a year. Refurbished units come with a new battery, outer shell, and the same one-year warranty as new devices, making them an economically sensible choice. Additionally, these models are available on Amazon under the Renewed Premium label, with prices varying by storage capacity and color.

Apple's typical policy for its Pro iPhone models involves keeping them on sale for one year, after which they are retired when the next generation of Pro models is released. This policy contrasts with that for regular iPhone models, which remain available for purchase alongside newer versions for a longer period4. For example, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 are still available for purchase even with the release of the latest iPhone 15. However, in a departure from this usual practice, Apple has recently reintroduced the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max to its refurbished store, despite them being previous generation Pro models15.
