Apple today began offering refurbished versions of the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, marking for the first time when the iPhones of 2019 are available at a reduced price directly from Apple.

Savings on the iPhone 11 range from $ 100 to $ 170, and for the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, the refurbished store is the only way to get one of these devices from Apple, as they have been discontinued since then.
Apple has limited stock available because the contents of the refurbished store fluctuate depending on what people have sent for repairs. There is a single refurbished iPhone 11 model with 128 GB of storage at the price of 549 USD, which represents a saving of 100 USD.
There are several 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max variants with 64 to 256 GB of storage. An entry-level 11 Pro Max with 64 GB of storage is available for $ 849, which Apple says is a $ 150 discount.
Color availability is limited, with Apple offering iPhone 11 in black, and iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max only in space gray and midnight green, but the color options and capabilities available will change over time.
Refurbished iPhone 11 models do not contain a SIM, the operator is unlocked and can be used with any supported operator.
All refurbished Apple iPhones include the same one-year warranty on a new iPhone, along with all manuals and accessories. Every refurbished Apple device goes through a rigorous testing, repair, repackaging and cleaning process, with Apple providing new outer casings and batteries.
Apart from the simple white box in which a refurbished device is delivered, it is practically impossible to tell the difference between a refurbished “iPhone” and a new model. One-year standard warranties can be extended with an AppleCare + purchase, and there is also a standard 14-day return policy.
