Refurbished phones aren’t for everyone, but they can be a smart way to get newer tech at a lower price — especially when the condition is clearly defined. Woot is offering a refurbished iPhone 16E with 128GB of storage and a 6.1-inch OLED display. Better yet, it’s priced well below what you’d pay for a new model.

Currently, Woot has the unlocked iPhone 16E for $425. That’s a $174 discount off its $599 list price, or 29% off the original price. Grab the deal while it lasts. The listing notes that this “Exceptionally Refurbished” phone has minimal visible wear, fewer than 100 battery cycles and arrives with at least 95% battery health.

The iPhone 16E features Apple’s A18 chip, which supports Apple Intelligence features such as writing assistance, image generation and on-device privacy tools. It runs iOS 18 and supports satellite messaging when Wi-Fi or cellular service isn’t available.

Battery life is rated for up to 26 hours of video playback and the Action Button offers customizable shortcuts to apps and accessibility features. This refurbished model is unlocked and comes with a one-year vendor warranty, though it’s not eligible for AppleCare.
