Cheap iPhone 16

Why Pay $1,399 When You Can Get a Cheap iPhone 16 from $999?

The brutal truth about iPhone pricing in Australia: Apple's markup is astronomical. A brand-new iPhone 16 costs A$1,399, but the exact same device, just 3 months old, loses 35% of its value the moment someone else unboxes it.

That's where smart Australians shop differently.

At Phonebot, we've cracked the code on premium iPhone ownership without the premium price tag. Our high-quality refurbished iPhones with warranty deliver identical performance, identical features, and an iOS experience, minus the eye-watering retail markup. Every refurbished iPhone 16 in our collection undergoes rigorous testing to ensure premium quality standards.

The $400 Question: Why Are Our iPhone 16s So Much Cheaper?

Simple economics. While Apple charges maximum retail, we specialize in sourcing premium devices through carefully selected channels that maintain the highest quality standards.

Result? You get Apple's flagship technology at 30-40% below retail. Same A18 chip. Same camera system. Same build quality. Different price tag.

Our 72-Point iPhone Certification Process (Why Other "Refurb" Sellers Don't Compare)

Every cheap iPhone 16 undergoes Phonebot's military-grade restoration:

Hardware Inspection (26 points):

• Battery health verification (minimum 85% capacity)

The result? Devices that look, feel, and perform identically to brand-new iPhones – because functionally, they are.
