Amazon will sell you the iPhone 16 Pro for $250 off right now - how the deal works

Ahead of the iPhone 17 launch event, you can snag a current-gen model for significantly less than retail with this offer.

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. However, if your current phone is damaged, cracked, or unable to function properly at the moment, this is one of the better deals on one of the best iPhones right now, and you can purchase it knowing that it's backed by Amazon's 90-day return or replacement policy.
