$419 refurbished iPhone 16e models have appeared in Apple’s U.S. online store for the first time since the phone launched in February 2025.
The 128GB version is discounted by $180 from its original $599 price, while 256GB and 512GB models sell for $509 and $679.
Apple no longer sells the iPhone 16e new after retiring it when the iPhone 17e launched, making the refurbished channel the only direct Apple source.
The lower price comes with trade-offs versus the 17e, including no MagSafe, a slower C1 modem, 128GB starting storage, an older A18 chip and older Ceramic Shield glass.
Apple says its refurbished iPhones are unlocked, fitted with new batteries and outer shells, and include a one-year warranty with optional AppleCare+.
