Apple Brings Back iPhone 15 Pro For First Time—At Lower Price
In a surprise move, Apple has made the iPhone 15 Pro available for purchase in its refurbished store at a significantly lower price. The device was initially unavailable due to EU legislation that prohibited the sale of iPhones without USB-C connectors. However, with the recent changes in this legislation, Apple has now restocked the phone in several European countries.
The refurbished iPhone 15 Pro is now available for purchase at a discounted rate, with prices dropping as follows:
* iPhone 15 Pro with 128GB storage: Original price $999, reduced to $849
* iPhone 15 Pro with 256GB storage: Original price $1,099, dropped to $935
* iPhone 15 Pro with 512GB storage: Originally priced at $1,299, now available for $1,105
The early availability of this device is a significant departure from last year’s cycle, when the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max reappeared in May 2024. The sudden change may be attributed to the recent changes in EU legislation regarding USB-C connectors.
According to Forbes, it seems that Apple has applied a discount of up to 15% on these devices, which is not uncommon for refurbished iPhones. This means that U.S. releases are likely around the corner.
The article concludes by stating that when Apple sells an iPhone as refurbished, it ensures that the device works correctly, replaces any necessary parts with genuine components, thoroughly cleans and re-packs them with all original accessories.
As a result, consumers can expect similar discounts in the United States market.
