Apple now sells refurbished iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max models

Apple today began offering refurbished versions of the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, marking the first time that 2019 iPhones have been available at a discounted price directly from Apple.

The savings on iPhone 11 models range from $ 100 to $ 170, and for the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, the refurbished store is the only way to get one of these devices from Apple because they have since been abandoned.

Apple has a limited inventory because the contents of the refurbished store fluctuate based on what people send in for repair. There is a single refurbished ‌iPhone 11‌ model with 128GB of storage priced at $ 549, a saving of $ 100.

There are several 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max variants with 64 to 256 GB of storage. An entry-level 11 Pro Max with 64GB of storage is available for $ 849, which Apple says is a cut of $ 150.

Color availability is limited with Apple offering the iPhone 11‌ in black and the ‌iPhone 11‌ Pro and Pro Max only in Space Gray and Midnight Green, but the color options and available capacities will change over time.

Refurbished ‌iPhone 11‌ models are SIM-free, carrier-less, and can be used with any supported carrier.

All Apple Refurbished iPhones include the same one year warranty that comes with a brand new iPhone, along with all manuals and accessories. Every refurbished device from Apple goes through a rigorous testing, repairing, repackaging and cleaning process, with Apple providing new outer cases and batteries.

Aside from the white box that a refurbished device ships in, it is virtually impossible to tell the difference between a refurbished iPhone and a new model. Standard one-year warranties can be extended with an AppleCare + purchase, and there’s a standard 14-day return policy as well.
