This iPhone may not be the newest model, but buying refurbished is a great way for Apple lovers to get everything from a new-to-you iPhone to a budget-friendly MacBook Air. It comes with a 12MP rear-facing camera, a sleek glass back design that supports wireless charging, and it’s IP67 waterproof. This model is even cellular-unlocked, so all you need to do is plug in a SIM card to get started.
Other features of this phone include Touch ID compatibility, a 4.7-inch True Tone Display, Bluetooth 5.0, and a long battery life. Fully charged, this phone could run for up to 14 hours. Just keep in mind that it will not be able to upgrade beyond iOS 16 due to hardware limitations.
There’s a chance the iPhone 15 isn’t the best fit for you. There are rumors Apple is going to be replacing the Lightning port with USB-C, so unless you want to upgrade all your chargers, it might be nice to stick with a better version of what’s familiar for now.
