iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15
The iPhone 16 builds on the iPhone 15 in a few useful ways.
It steps up to the faster A18 chip and adds support for Apple Intelligence, Apple’s set of AI features. It also introduces the new Camera Control button and a customisable Action button, improves the Ultra Wide camera with a macro mode, and lasts a little longer on a charge. Both phones share the Dynamic Island, USB-C and a 48MP main camera, so if you want the newest features go for the 16, and if value is the priority the iPhone 15 is still a great choice.
iPhone 16 vs iPhone 17
The iPhone 17 is the newer model, with the faster A19 chip, a larger 6.3 inch display, a smoother 120Hz ProMotion screen and an upgraded front camera.
The iPhone 16 still holds its own with the A18 chip, Apple Intelligence, the 48MP camera and the same modern design, at a lower price. If you want the newest screen and chip, go for the 17. If value matters most, the 16 is a smart buy.

Choosing your grade

Why buy your refurbished iPhone 16 from The iOutlet?
Browse our iPhone 16 range above, or take a look at the rest of our refurbished iPhones.
Is it worth buying a refurbished iPhone 16?
We think so! You get Apple’s recent tech, the A18 chip, Apple Intelligence and a 48MP camera, for far less than buying new. Every iPhone 16 is fully tested and backed by a 12 month warranty, which makes it a smart buy.
What does refurbished actually mean?
A refurbished iPhone is a used device that has been fully inspected, tested and restored to proper working order by our team before it is sold. Every iPhone 16 we list has passed our checks and is checked against lost and stolen registers.
What is the difference between second hand and refurbished?
A second hand phone is usually sold as is by a private seller, with no testing, no warranty and no guarantee of condition. A refurbished iPhone from us is professionally tested and restored, graded for condition, and comes with a 12 month warranty and 30 day returns, so you know exactly what you are getting.
What do the grades A+, A, B and C mean?
Every device is fully tested and works perfectly. The grade only reflects cosmetic condition. A+ (Pristine) is like new, A (Excellent) has minor signs of wear, B (Good) shows moderate wear, and C (Average) shows heavier wear. Learn more about our grading.
Are your refurbished iPhones unlocked?
Yes. Our iPhones are unlocked and ready to use with any network.
What battery health will my refurbished iPhone 16 have?
Every iPhone we sell is tested to have a minimum battery health of 75%. If you would like more, you can add a brand new battery at checkout to take it back to 100%.
Will my iPhone 16 get the latest iOS?
Yes. The iPhone 16 shipped with iOS 18 and supports current iOS updates, so you will keep getting Apple’s latest features and security updates.
Does the iPhone 16 support Apple Intelligence?
Yes. The iPhone 16 was built with Apple Intelligence in mind, so it supports Apple’s AI features such as writing tools, a smarter Siri and photo clean up, where available in your region and language.
What is the Camera Control button?
It is a pressure sensitive button on the side of the iPhone 16 that lets you quickly open the camera, take a photo, start a video and adjust settings like zoom and exposure with a press or a slide.
Do you offer finance options?
Yes. You can spread the cost at checkout with our interest free options and leasing plans, so you can pay monthly rather than all at once. Just choose your preferred option when you check out.
Can I trade in my old iPhone?
Absolutely. We buy back old iPhones for cash or store credit. Just search for your device to get a quote.
Where can I buy a cheap refurbished iPhone in the UK?
