The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro offers good performance and unique design, making it a strong midrange option despite some limitations.
Today Apple has started selling officially refurbished versions of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Their prices are discounted by 12% to 22% compared to the company's current new pricing (for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, which are still offered as new), or compared to the original pricing for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, which have both been discontinued.
The iPhone 17 has grown just a touch this year to make room for its new, larger 6.3-inch display. It's approximately 2 mm taller and slightly thicker than the iPhone 16, although its width remains almost identical. In practice, the difference in size is barely perceptible - the new model still feels compact, balanced, and easy to handle, true to the spirit of Apple's standard iPhones.
