With the launch of the iPhone 15 last week, Apple fans everywhere have been rushing to get their hands on the latest model. Of course, you could spend a fortune on that brand-new iPhone, but there's an alternative.
Older iPhones tend to plummet in price whenever Apple releases a new model, and this year is no different. But buying refurbished means you don't have to go for a cracked old model and you can still save a fortune.
DEAL: CHECK OUT THE 'LIKE NEW' IPHONE OFFERS
Mobiles Phone Direct has launched a number of huge deals on 'Like New' iPhones which could save you as much as 40%. These refurbished models include the iPhone 12, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and even the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro.
They've been refurbished which means they might have had a new screen or battery or other component installed, but otherwise work just like a new phone.
We tested out the deals ourselves to see how much you can really save. The table below offers a price comparison for each iPhone deal, showing how much it costs new with the same or similar data allowance on the same mobile network.
As you can see, you could potentially save a fortune on these contracts just by choosing a refurbished model.
(Please note: the pricing of the new models in this table is accurate from the month starting October 2023, but are subject to change)
With companies like Apple releasing new handsets every year, buying refurbished devices is a great way to stay up-to-date on the latest phone software and features without paying hundreds of pounds annually.
It also helps tech firms cut down on e-waste as devices can be refurbished and fixed rather than sent to landfill.
