It\u2019s no secret that iPhones hold their resale value better than any other brand of smartphone \u2013 and they are also the most viable as a second-hand purchase since support from Apple and third parties is top-notch. We already looked at some refurbished iPhones<\/a> last week, but now Amazon has found some newer models.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. It\u2019s only a generation behind the current model, but it is so much cheaper. We have a detailed iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. 17 Pro Max comparison article<\/a> for you. A few highlights include a sturdier titanium frame instead of the scratch-prone aluminum. Battery life is about the same, though the new model charges noticeably faster (65% vs. 46% in 30 minutes, full charge in 72 minutes vs. 117 minutes).<\/p>\n

Camera-wise, you will miss out on the new telephoto module \u2013 the 16 Pro Max has a 12MP 5x\/120mm camera compared to the upgraded 48MP 4x\/100mm on the 17 Pro Max. The 2025 phone also got a revamped 18MP multi-aspect selfie camera with a wider 20mm lens, compared to the 12MP 23mm camera on the older phone.<\/p>\n

The Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max is even cheaper and the price gap gets wider if you want more than the base 256GB storage. Here\u2019s our in-depth iPhone 15 Pro Max vs. 16 Pro Max comparison<\/a>. We also have a 15 Pro Max vs. 14 Pro Max article<\/a>, if you are upgrading from an older model.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a smaller display, 6.7\u201d compared to 6.9\u201d on the two most recent editions. It also has a lower resolution 12MP ultra-wide, down from the 48MP you\u2019d get with a 16 Pro Max. However, the telephoto and selfie cameras are basically the same. Charging is similar enough, but the 16 Pro Max lasts longer (17:18h vs. 16:01h Active use score).<\/p>\n

We know some of you prefer smaller phones, so here\u2019s the Apple iPhone 15 Pro. It\u2019s a down-scaled 6.1\u201d version of the Pro Max, however, there are a few other important differences \u2013 e.g. the 12MP telephoto camera has a shorter 3x\/77mm lens, down from 5x\/120mm on the Max. Here\u2019s a detailed comparison between the two iPhone 15 Pros<\/a>. We also have an iPhone 14 Pro vs. 15 Pro article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We recommend going for either the 128GB model as the cheapest option or getting the 1TB phone \u2013 with only $16 between the 1TB and 512GB options (and just $4 between 512GB and 256GB), you may as well future-proof your phone.<\/p>\n

Also check out our previous refurbished iPhone post<\/a>. It features some older models, including non-Pro iPhones. Do note that the phones listed here are Renewed Premium \u2013 that means<\/a> no scratches on the screen and no major signs of cosmetic damage. Plus, the battery will have at least 90% health. For comparison, the requirement for a Renewed Excellent phone is at least 80% battery health.<\/p>\n
