Apple removed the iPhone 15 Pro from regular sale in September 2024. It brought the phone back in refurbished condition only in May 2025, at reduced prices. Now, the phone is more affordable than ever and it remains the most recent Pro model available in refurbished condition. Here are full details.

Apple may not like to be predictable, but it behaves with elegant regularity every fall. When the new iPhones are released, last year’s Pro models are removed from the range — instantly.
American buyers had to wait until May 2025 to be able to buy the iPhone 15 Pro in refurbished condition (buyers in the EU were able to get this phone earlier, in January 2025, perhaps because the removal of all Lightning-connector models for EU reasons meant the range of available models was suddenly more constrained).
As you’ll know, the new iPhone range was launched last month and the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max were retired. They’re not back in the refurbished store yet, but the iPhone 15 Pro, in refurbished condition, dropped further in price.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are special because they are the first iPhones capable of Apple Intelligence. So, they offer a way to some of the latest features at a keen price.
Now, the iPhone 15 Pro is more affordable than ever, though not all models are available. There are no handsets with 128GB or 256GB storage, for instance as these are out of stock right now.
The iPhone 15 Pro with 512GB storage, originally $1,299 when new, is now available in four colors refurbished for $929, a $90 price cut compared to just a few weeks ago. Here’s the link to these models. The new price is $370 less than the original retail price.
If you’d prefer the higher storage capacity, 1TB, all four colors are available. When this first went on sale, it cost $1,499, now it’s $1,099, a full $400 savings. That’s also a further $90 off the refurbished price as it stood a few weeks ago.
