If you’re looking to upgrade your iPhone, several professionally refurbished models are on sale during Amazon’s Prime Day 2025 sale, which ends July 11. Each of the discounted iPhones is certified through the Amazon Renewed Premium program. While these are pre-owned, they’re all in full working order, usually just a step away from brand-new in quality. According to Amazon, each item has been professionally inspected, tested, and cleaned by professionals, and there are “no visible cosmetic imperfections” when the item is held at arm’s length. The only real loss here is the box, as Amazon will instead ship these iPhones out in generic packaging. Products are also eligible for a replacement or refund within 90 days. Note that these deals are only available to Amazon Prime members, so you’ll need an active subscription to get the lowest price.
The upshot of choosing one of the refurbished models listed below is that they’re all unlocked, meaning you can use them with your current service provider or take them with you if you decide to switch to a different company in the future. As for the discounted iPhones, there are a variety of models on sale here, though the iPhone Pro 16 is the best of the bunch, and you can grab one for as low was $816 (was $979). To be fair, smartphone design is very iterative these days, so even the iPhone 15 Pro Max or iPhone 14 are still worth picking up while they’re discounted, especially if you haven’t upgraded in a while. iPhone Pro and Pro Max models offer more power, better batteries, larger screens, and enhanced cameras compared to the standard models. There’s also the larger Pro Max comes down to size mainly, with the Pro Max offering Apple’s best hardware of the year on a larger scale.
These iPhone discounts will only be available during Prime Day, which runs until July 11, so grab them while you can. You’ll find more deals on electronics, video games, Blu-rays, and beyond at GameSpot’s Prime Day Deals Hub, or you can browse the full sale lineup at Amazon.
$816 – $935
Apple’s current flagship smartphone, the iPhone 16 Pro offers fast performance and an eye-catching 120Hz screen. The other big claim to fame about this device is the Action Button, a side-mounted toggle designed to initiate certain actions from the phone. If you’re a budding photographer, then the cameras are also noteworthy on this model, while video fans can record crisp 4K 60fps footage.
$714 – $849
Released in 2023, the iPhone 15 was another winner from Apple. The phone saw an increased focus on its camera capabilities and its hardware allowed for demanding games to be easily played on it. This was also the first model to ditch Apple’s Lightning connection for USB-C–which has become the standard for iPhones going forward and is also in the iPhone 16–making for an attractive device.
$194 – $458
While we’re in older smartphone territory here, the pricing for these iPhones makes them very appealing. They still offer quite a few bells and whistles, as well as a massive price difference. We’d recommend these iPhones to people who aren’t glued to their screens 24/7, but they’re still perfectly capable of running a wide variety of apps or being multimedia devices for when you want to watch some Netflix or listen to Spotify playlists.
$194 (was $260)
Is the iPhone SE outclassed by Apple’s other devices? Absolutely. But is it still some of your best bang-for-buck value? Double-yes. This is the perfect first smartphone, especially if you want to gift your kids with something that you can use to stay in touch with them and not worry about breaking the bank. For its size and price it has an above-average screen, decent battery-life, and TouchID for added security, as well as an adequate camera.
