Refurbished iPhone 16

Refurbished iPhone 16 handsets give you Apple's most recent base-model hardware at a fraction of the new price, with the same A18 chip, 48MP camera system, and USB-C port you would expect from a brand-new unit. Each device sold through Sell Phone Store has been professionally inspected, tested, and graded before listing, so you know exactly what condition to expect before you buy. 

Choosing the right storage tier matters more than most buyers realise. The 128GB model suits everyday use - photos, apps, and a music library sit comfortably within that limit. Step up to 256GB if you shoot a lot of video in 4K, prefer keeping your media on-device rather than in iCloud, or use your phone as a primary work tool. Cosmetic grade is the other key decision: lower grades show visible wear but perform identically to higher-grade units, which is worth knowing if you are buying on a tight budget. 

Browse the refurbished iPhone 16 range below - every unit is unlocked across UK networks (EE, giffgaff, Vodafone and others), iCloud-signed-out and shipped free next day.

Frequently asked questions about iPhone 16
What's the difference between iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro? 

The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus share the A18 chip, a dual-camera system (48MP main and ultrawide), and the new Camera Control button. The 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max upgrade to the A18 Pro chip with more GPU cores, add a telephoto camera, switch to a titanium build, and gain theProMotion120Hz display. Both Pro models also support faster USB-C data transfer and a brighter display. For most users, the standard 16 covers everyday needs; choose Pro for the camera and display upgrades.
What is the Camera Control button on the iPhone 16? 

Camera Control is a new dedicated button on all iPhone 16 models, positioned on the right edge below the power button. A single press launches the camera; a half-press locks focus and exposure; a sliding gesture across the button adjusts zoom or other camera settings.It also supports Visual Intelligence (Apple's contextual look-up feature) on models with Apple Intelligence.Camera Control is a physical hardware addition, not just a software shortcut.
Should I buy a refurbished iPhone 16 or wait for the iPhone 17?

Dependson what you need. A refurbished iPhone 16 typicallycomes inbelow the price of a new or refurbished 17, while still offering the A18 chip, full Apple Intelligence support, USB-C, and the Camera Control button. The iPhone 17 adds incremental upgrades but athighercost. For value-led buyers, a refurbished 16 hits the sweet spot of recent specs and meaningful savings; if you want the absolute latest hardware and do not mind paying more, the 17 is the upgrade path.
How is a refurbished iPhone 16 different from a new one? 

In terms of hardware and performance, a properly refurbished iPhone 16 is functionally identical to a new one - same A18 chip, same camera system, same iOS support timeline. The differences are price (refurbished is significantly cheaper), and potentially cosmetic condition: Excellent grade looks effectivelynew,Good and Fair grades may show minor wear. Every refurbished iPhone 16 sold at Sell Phone Store has been factory reset, signed out of anypreviousApple ID, fully tested, and is backed by our warranty and 30-day return policy.
