Apple Restocks Refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Starting at $759

Apple today replenished its stock of certified refurbished iPhone 12 Pro models in the U.S. for the first time since early April. A variety of storage capacities and color options are available to choose from, with pricing starting at $759.

Apple's online refurbished store currently has refurbished iPhone 12 Pro models available with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB of storage, with Gold, Silver, Graphite, and Pacific Blue color options. Orders placed today are estimated for delivery as early as next week, and in-store pickup is also an option at select Apple Store locations.

When the iPhone 12 Pro was first released in October 2020, pricing started at $999, meaning refurbished pricing is around 15% off. Apple stopped selling the iPhone 12 Pro brand new when the iPhone 13 Pro was released last year.

The refurbished iPhone 12 Pro models are all unlocked and SIM-free. All refurbished iPhones come with a new battery, a new outer shell, and a new white box that includes all manuals and a USB-C to Lightning cable. All refurbished iPhones are covered by Apple's standard one-year warranty and are eligible for extended AppleCare+ coverage.

Apple says its refurbished iPhones are thoroughly tested and cleaned, and in our view, they are virtually indistinguishable from brand new iPhones. One of the only notable differences with a certified refurbished iPhone is that it comes in a plainer box.

Key new features of the iPhone 12 Pro compared to the iPhone 11 Pro included a new design with flat edges, the A14 Bionic chip, 5G support, MagSafe, improved durability with the Ceramic Shield front cover, the LiDAR Scanner, and camera improvements.

Apple has yet to begin selling certified refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max models via its U.S. store.

IMAX Reacts to iPhone Duo's 1:1.4 Aspect Ratio Displays

Production theater company IMAX has responded in a mixed way to Apple's embrace of a 1:1.4 aspect ratio on the iPhone Duo's inner and outer displays. The boxier ratio happens to be very close to the classic "full-frame" IMAX 1.43:1 aspect ratio, which comes from the geometry of the company's original 15-perforation/70mm film system. In response to an X post from someone wondering if we'll see...

I keep wanting to buy myself an iPhone 13 Pro, but then think, hmmm, I could take myself and my son for a 2 week all expenses holiday to Bali for that money. So I keep sticking with my SE2. The Bali trip is in planning.

15% off a device that is 2 years old, and about to be 2 iPhone generations behind is not a good deal.

I upgraded from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 13 Pro a few months ago and somewhat regret it. I admittedly don't use my phone a lot since I work from home but aside from the ProMotion display I really don't notice any difference. The camera quality is a bit better, but I doubt I'd be able to tell the difference for most photos compared to the iPhone 11's photos. Instead I should have just replaced the battery on my iPhone 11 for $99 and held on to it for a couple more years.

Go on the vacation!

Thus the major reason I'd want an iPhone Pro, is basically for the prestige and perception. Which, I might add, is not a trivial factor. As they say, clothes maketh the man. First impressions. And so on.

99% of people irl neither notice or care what phone you have.

The 1% that do should be avoided.

With iPhone 14 models about to be released, $759 does not sound like an exciting price for a refurbished 12 Pro

And this isn't even a new phone, it's refurbished.

This is the worst deal I've ever heard of. There are 200 dollar Android phones that make this thing look like an antique. Wtf Apple?
No kidding. I have no idea why someone would buy a refurbished iPhone that’s 2 years old with only a 90 day warranty for a whopping 15% off the current price for the current generation iPhone, and possibly the next generation iPhone in about 2 months. This is a horrific “deal.”
