"That brings the flagship iPhone down to around $745, from its retail price of $1,000. Is there a catch? When you're buying outside of the Apple store, there almost always is. Fortunately, this one's a little easier to shoulder: the discounted model is in "renewed" condition, a refurbish standard placed by Amazon that indicates that while the phone isn't new and sealed, it has been "professionally inspected, tested, and cleaned by qualified suppliers.""
"According to Amazon's listing page, renewed phones have no visible cosmetic imperfections when held at arm's length, meaning you likely won't be able to tell if the device is new or refurbished. Renewed phones are also tested to have at least 80% battery capacity, though most of the devices I've tried and used typically hover between 95 to 100%.

"Now you may be asking: Why should I when Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 17 series in a week's time? I generally advise consumers to wait it out, if they can. Unless you desperately need a new phone right now, it's always better to see what Apple is offering with its latest devices and how much the older models will be discounted by then."
Amazon is offering an unlocked, renewed iPhone 16 Pro at about $745, a $255 reduction from the $1,000 retail price. The renewed phones are professionally inspected, tested, and cleaned by qualified suppliers and are described as having no visible cosmetic imperfections when held at arm’s length. Renewed units are tested to a minimum of 80% battery capacity, though many devices show 95–100% capacity. The deal applies to the base 128GB iPhone 16 Pro in Desert Titanium or Black Titanium. Waiting for the iPhone 17 is advised if replacement is not urgent; immediate purchases suit users with damaged or nonfunctional phones.
