iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16
The iPhone 17 is a meaningful step up from the iPhone 16.
The display grows to 6.3 inches and, for the first time on a standard iPhone, adds a smooth 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate and an always on screen, features that used to be Pro only. It moves to the faster A19 chip, upgrades the Ultra Wide camera to 48MP, and brings the new 18MP Center Stage front camera for better selfies and group shots. Storage now starts at 256GB rather than 128GB, and the front is tougher Ceramic Shield 2. If you want the newest standard iPhone, the 17 is a clear upgrade. If value matters most, the iPhone 16 is still a great choice.
iPhone 17 vs iPhone 17 Pro
The iPhone 17 Pro steps up with the faster A19 Pro chip, a triple lens camera system with a dedicated telephoto and up to 8x optical zoom, and a vapour chamber cooling system for sustained performance under load. Both phones share the same 6.3 inch display and Center Stage front camera. The Pro is the stronger pick if zoom photography, ProRes video or demanding gaming matters to you. If you want the core iPhone 17 experience for less, the standard 17 is the smarter buy.

Browse our iPhone 17 range above, or take a look at the rest of our refurbished iPhones.
Why buy a refurbished iPhone 17 instead of new?
A refurbished iPhone 17 from The iOutlet gives you Apple’s standard flagship at a much lower price than buying new. Every handset is fully tested, checked against lost and stolen registers and backed by a 12 month warranty, so you get the full iPhone 17 experience without the full price tag.
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 17 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 condition grades are available for the iPhone 17?
We offer four grades, and all of them are fully tested and come with the same 12 month warranty and checks. A+ (Pristine) looks and feels like new with no visible wear. A (Excellent) has minor signs of wear such as light scratches. B (Good) shows moderate wear but works perfectly. C (Average) has heavier cosmetic wear but has passed all functionality tests.
Are your refurbished iPhones unlocked?
Yes. Our iPhones are unlocked and ready to use with any network.
What battery life can I expect from a refurbished iPhone 17?
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 17 get the latest iOS?
Yes. The iPhone 17 shipped with iOS 26 and supports current iOS updates, so you will keep getting Apple’s latest features and security updates for years to come.
Does the iPhone 17 support Apple Intelligence?
Yes. The iPhone 17 fully supports Apple Intelligence, including writing tools, image generation, smart replies and the more capable Siri, through iOS 26 and later.
Is the iPhone 17 water resistant?
Yes. The iPhone 17 carries an IP68 rating, meaning it can be submerged in up to 6 metres of water for up to 30 minutes under controlled conditions.
What is the difference between the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e?
The iPhone 17e is the more affordable entry model in the range. The iPhone 17 steps up in camera versatility, display quality and processing power, so if those things matter to you, the 17 is the stronger choice.
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?
Right here. A refurbished iPhone 17 from The iOutlet gives you a fully tested iPhone with a warranty for far less than new, a much safer choice than buying second hand.
