How to Get the Cheapest iPhone (Without Regrets)
The cheapest iPhone isn’t always the best value. The smartest approach is to balance model generation, storage and
cosmetic grade to match your needs. If you mainly use your phone for everyday tasks, an older model in a lower cosmetic grade can be a
great way to save money while still getting dependable Apple performance.
1) Choose the right generation
Lowest-cost everyday option: iPhone 11
Affordable modern design + 5G: iPhone 12
Best value for many buyers: iPhone 13
Newer model experience: iPhone 14 / iPhone 16 (stock dependent)
2) Pick a cosmetic grade that fits your budget
All grades are fully functional. The difference is mainly cosmetic (appearance), so choosing a lower grade is often the easiest way to
reduce the price.
For the full explanation of grades, see:
Refurbished iPhone Grades Explained.
3) Choose storage wisely
If you want the best value, many buyers find 128GB is a strong middle ground. Higher storage can be useful for heavy photo/video use,
while lower storage may suit lighter users who rely on cloud services.
